English Without the music, it would be just a compilation, but it's precisely the music that makes it right. However, the music works even without this long video, which actually doesn't show anything so interesting, except for the fact that it tries to be controversial, which it somewhat succeeds at. In this way, it's quite bearable to be reminded of these great songs. ()
