Gracious, you've vidded a lot of Jim Croce and Cat Steven's songs already! Fortunately, there are still a bunch of good ones. I pulled out my trusty cassette tape (since the records are in another state), which has Time in a Bottle on one side and Tea for the Tillerman on the other, to check titles. Lover's Cross is a great one, and I love Alabama Rain as well. I'd forgot about These Dreams, that's another favorite.
My favorite Cat Stevens songs are Sad Lisa, Into White, and Foreigner suite, but Oh Very Young is right up there, too. Both artists are such song craftsmen, totally different styles, but strong words and music and they hit you between the eyes with feeling.
I scanned through your list quickly. I've never heard Weird Al's "I Think I'm a Clone Now," but the title alone cracks me up! Eat It was a classic, of course, but one of my favorite Weird Al songs is King of Suede, the coat salesman image is sublime ("Is my size up there?").
It makes me happy just thinking about these songs. Will have to see if the tape player's working today so I can listen to them again.
I think that I'll watch Long Long Time (LotR version) again before I log off this compy. That's one of my favorites; it's such a wrenching song.
I would think that you'd have to have a good filing/index system for clips to avoid repeating yourself, although I'm sure that you might want to use the same song for different fandoms sometimes, and sometimes you have to use the same clips but in different context. I've DL'd quite a few LotR vids and have trouble keeping up with those; I can't imagine dealing with them on the scale that you do.
I'll send you an email to get on your list. Thanks for the invitation!
