How do ya'll post the videos in the post? I try to use the youtube tag and it never works
Good question. You put the YouTube video ID in the dialog box that comes up when you click the YouTube icon in the toolbar. For example, here's a YouTube URL:
YouTube - The Cure - In Between Days TOTP 1985
The ID is the part AFTER the = and BEFORE the & (if there is one)
So the ID that you enter from the URL above would be: uu3TiqmQ9Ec
Just copy that portion from the URL and paste into the dialog box.
Also, you have to put something in between the brackets - ][ - where the cursor is after it enters the code in your post, or it won't show up. That text is what shows up in the blue part at the top. A lot of people just put a period. A space won't work.

And... here's the video from the above URL. It's one of my all time faves.
"And I know I was wrong when I said it was true,
that it couldn't be me and be her in between without you."
Wow, what a brilliant and contorted way to explain away a love triangle.

Edit: Yeah, I know he's lip syncing, but I think he made it obvious, rather than trying to trick us. He dances far away from the mic repeatedly, and they didn't really have headsets back then (1985), so I think everybody knew he was lip syncing and nobody cared, especially Robert Smith.
Plus, this video is from "Top of the Pops," which as I understand it as an American who used to read
NME.com (New Musical Express) back in its early days when it was just a magazine, TOTP was Britain's version of our "American Bandstand," except better.
Love the set and the people dancing on those stairs. It was a just a big silly electronic party everywhere in the 80s.
