AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE A FUNKY BEAT AMV

Disclaimer: I don't own "AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE A FUNKY BEAT" or ANY of the footage used here. They all belong to their respective owners. This is my second AMV, and I have no idea if YouTube is gonna give this one any easier a time than the first one (which can be seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TWEWY/comments/rjflvg/teenage_city_riot_amv_aka_a_fan_made_music_video/) or just about any of my compilations. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. *sigh* For now, please allow me to thank Hideki Naganuma for making such an incredible song.

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 4/26/2022: "Final Frontier" by Jonathan Young

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "Final Frontier" by Jonathan Young, is in a lot of ways typical of the sort of songs I like sharing: fantastic music accompanied by great animation.

Even so, for a variety of reasons, from the general principal behind the class assignment that inspired this whole schtick to a certain holiday that took place last week, I felt it was time I shared this powerful piece. I hope you all get as much out of it as I have.
