We at WTN got a tweet the other day on Twitter (follow us @watchthisnow) from Bill Zucker, who did a parody song about TARP, the acronym for the gazillion-dollar federal bailout. Perhaps you've heard of it.

Bill's video already been featured on MSNBC and Fox News and CNBC, but not yet posted on our highly influential South Florida viral video blog. So we're posting it now, in hopes that if Bill gets any TARP money, he'll share it with us.

If you all have videos you think would be worth posting online, let us know. Send a tweet, send an e-mail, post the link in our comments section -- we'd love to hear from you.

Remember Amanda Lorber? She was one of the breakout stars of MTV's high school docudrama, The Paper, filmed at Cypress Bay High School in Weston.

Check out her singing "Hallelujah" from her dorm room at NYU.

More local video of Tropical Storm Fay on YouTube.

You know, he probably shouldn't have filled his pool yesterday...

As I'm writing this, the storm is still churning off the Florida coast, but already there are 145 Fay-related clips on YouTube.

Surprisingly, I haven't seen any videos of surfers taking advantage of the bigger waves. But there are quite a few clips like this:

Used to be, if one of your colleagues was leaving for another job, there would be cake at the office and -- depending on the person -- possibly a celebration at a local bar.

But apparently I am behind on the times. Now it seems bringing a video camera and taking the party to YouTube is to be all the rage. A quick search for "farewell party" on YouTube brought up more than 3,000 entries.

One of the newest entries comes from my co-worker Scott, who today posted a tribute on YouTube to dearly departed colleague Ivette Yee. I typically try to avoid posting Sun-Sentinel colleagues' videos online, but this was too good to resist:

Elvis Presley sang "Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce" in the 1965 movie Girl Happy. I've never seen the movie, but judging from the clip below and this movie trailer, I'll definitely be checking it out.

What's your favorite Elvis movie?
