Besides using my songs in my own videos on YouTube, occasionally someone else will
actually use one of them in a video. In fact, one YouTube celebrity has used
three of my songs in three different videos! That YouTube celebrity would be
none other than Kevin
Nalty, otherwise known as Nalts, who is currently on the top one hundred
most subscribed channels list on YouTube. Another highly-respected YouTuber
who has used my songs is Marquisdejolie who used an instrumental of mine
called "Relax" in his "Hay" video.
Like I said, Nalts has used three of my songs. The most recent such
case was back in February of 2008 when he used my song "Lemons" in
his "Filthy Little Lemons" video. Before that there was "Fingers"
which Nalts used in his "My Writers Are on Strike" video. Despite the
appearance of a couple dozen YouTube celebrities in the "Filthy Little
Lemons" video it hasn't done too well and "Writers" was a little odd
compared to most Nalts videos and just never really received many views.
However, to put things into perspective, both these videos received several
thousand views!
The most successful Nalts video to feature one of my songs is "Charlie's Family
(Picking Pumpkins)" in which Nalts used my "Charlie's
Family" song. It's been viewed nearly sixty thousand times and is quite
appropriate viewing for this time of the year. In the video Nalts takes his
four kids and a friend to a pumpkin patch where they select pumpkins to carve for Halloween.
Also they run around and play a bit in a corn field and make silly comments
about their plans for their pumpkins. Nalts even plays the part of the corn
monster for a little bit. It's really a great video and, like I
said, it's an ideal video to view during the week of Halloween!!!
