English Without the music, it would just be a montage, but it's the music that makes it perfect. The music works even without this long clip, which I don't really find anything particularly interesting about, except that it's trying to be controversial, which it somewhat succeeds at. This way, it's quite bearable to be reminded of these great songs. ()
