about

The first video on Youtube was uploaded by one of the founders on April 23rd, 2005. Since then, Youtube has become the biggest outlet of video in history. Per month, more video is uploaded to Youtube than has ever been broadcast on the three biggest American TV networks put together.

Using the poetry of A.A. Milne, this is our tribute to Youtube.

lyrics

There are lions and roaring tigers,
and enormous camels and things,
There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons,
and a great big bear with wings.
There's a sort of a tiny potamus,
and a tiny nosserus too -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!

There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers,
and a Super-in-tendent's House,
There are masses of goats, and a Polar,
and different kinds of mouse,
And I think there's a sort of a something
which is called a wallaboo -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!

If you try to talk to the bison,
he never quite understands;
You can't shake hands with a mingo -
he doesn't like shaking hands.
And lions and roaring tigers
hate saying, "How do you do?" -
But I give buns to the elephant
when I go down to the Zoo!

Here we are in front of the elephants
The cool thing about these guys
Is that they have really, really long,
er...trunks. And that's cool
And that's all there really is to say from
Me at the Zoo.
