A video entitled “Motorcycle Insane Stunts - Best Background Music,” received over 800,000 views on You Tube. The video now sits mute on the screen, and hardly attracts any clicks, after You Tube, citing copyright issues, turned off their background music. Subsequently, the once exciting viral flick lost its attraction. If you click on it and watch it, you will feel that you are viewing a boring amateur film of rather common motorcycle stunts

Are you planning to submit a musical video to You Tube? If so, is your video built around a song, or is it supported by a song. If the first alternative, that’s okay. Plenty of successful You Tube Videos that go viral are built around a song. However, it is worthwhile knowing where your video falls out in the spectrum between songs that form the centerpiece of a video, and songs that serve as the backdrop for the video. If you decide ahead of time where you’ll be in that spectrum, then your future success won’t come by accident.
