The first four hours of MTV is nice for those who think MTV has always been reality-drama.

Mr. Z.:
minor nit to pick…

The Wayback Machine is the digital-archive search function of the World Wide Web, as archived & crawled by the Internet Archive.
–I suggest not searching for video using the Wayback Machine search-bar, but to instead use the search bar for the whole site, which includes all audio/video/text collections. (or searching within specific collections)
–and I’d also suggest using advanced-search if you know something exists (in their collections), but can’t find it, their search-algorithm is not as efficient as Alphabet. Also– search using meta-data & key-word Text description if zero results show up on a Title, for example. (This is why it’s very important to adequately & properly describe the Item you are uploading to the Internet Archive.)
–this particular tune is still under copyright and is subject to being pulled down if the copyright owner ever objects. That does not happen often, but it does happen.
-Also be aware–websites can utilize a small piece of code that prevents crawling & archiving by the Internet Archive, which they do respect. [ “Web site owners use the /robots.txt file to give instructions about their site to web robots; this is called The Robots Exclusion Protocol.”] Scammers however, scraping websites for email addresses, etc, disregard that code.

The entire upside to the Archive– they make it very easy to download items, and video is supplied in multiple formats & qualities.
