how do you people get it to show the video right on your post?

You have to be posting/replying in advanced mode. You should see a Youtube icon above the text window on the upper-right. When you click it, you need to enter the numbers at the end of the Youtube URL after the equals sign. Then, you will be presented with auto-filled brackets. You have to type something between the brackets, and that is what the title of your Youtube video will be. (Although I don't really get that, because the actual title auto-fills from Youtube anyway...)

Thanks. But I still can't get it to work. Alas, I think I'll go cry into my cereal, cause I'm a four.

Really? I went for something that didn't suggest suicidality or other signs of clinical depression because that in itself isn't what defines Fours, in fact I thought they might rather resent that. There are some here who seem very emotionally stable. But it's true that most Smiths songs are Fourish to some extent, you could pick one at random really! It was hard to choose.

By the way, an easier way to embed is to type out the title you want for the link first, highlight it, click the button with the Youtube logo on it, and paste into the box that comes up the URL of the Youtube page. If you've blocked pop-ups, you'll have to temporarily unblock them to use that feature. Otherwise, just use this formula, without the spaces:

[YOUTUBE=The Youtube page's URL]Title you want for link[/ YOUTUBE]

Yeah, you know I put that song up and then I was thinking cemetery gates was better for the same reason I picked Boys Don't Cry. Something about the combo of dark lyrics with almost bouncy tunes is very four.

Cap'n Jazz as a whole seems pretty INxP and either 5w4 or 4w5 to me. Anyone one else have other ideas?

I swear this song is written with E7 in mind... in fact I reckon the whole band is just covered in seven-ness.

Yes, and the content of the lyrics - escaping the sunshine to a cemetary for inspiration and competing over poetry. It's as if he's a fan of the Enneagram and was trying to write an ode to the Four temperament. :D

Okay, instrumentals.

4w5 - The soundtrack to The Elephant Man.
[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQsgE0L450"]Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber[/YOUTUBE]

5w4 - About folklore that the bones of the dead come out and dance to Death's fiddle at midnight on Halloween. Also used to great effect for the paranormal-themed detective series 'Jonathan Creek'.
[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyknBTm_YyM"]Danse Macabre[/YOUTUBE]

6w5 - Makes me imagine someone spiralling into madness and being tormented by a flurry of bizarre hallucinations.
[YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbYse0gZZdU"]The Sorcerer's Apprentice[/YOUTUBE]

6w7 - Busy, nervous energy.

That ditty probably is going on in my head as I watch them go about their business. You should see my friend attempting to step onto an escalator. It's like he's playing double-dutch. Waiting for the right moment to jump in.

I think this song and video has 4 written all over it, probably 4w3 at that (the drama queen vibe of the visual part of the vid screams 4w3 at least), but questionable to whether or not it would be "healthy"

That's an interesting one. I think it could represent Four (he seems envious and dressed in an unusual way) disintegrating towards Two under stress (becoming needy and manipulative) or I think more likely Two (seems he was happy enough to take on the invisible, indispensible 'helper' role to start with and now expects to be wanted in return) disintegrating towards Eight under stress (becoming aggressive and threatening).
