Verizon Communications, the No. 2 U.S. telecommunications company, is in advanced talks with YouTube to bring the Web site's videos to cell phones and television sets, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

A deal may give Verizon a marketing edge over its rivals in the wireless and cable industries, furthering the company's efforts to expand into Internet and entertainment services, the Journal reported.

Under the terms being discussed, customers of Verizon Wireless–Verizon's joint venture with Vodafone Group–would be able to view some YouTube videos on their cell phones through the carrier's premium V Cast service, the Journal said.

Verizon also would offer YouTube videos as an on-demand feature of a TV service it is launching throughout the nation, according to the paper.

A deal may give Verizon the exclusive right to carry YouTube videos for a limited period of time, one person with knowledge of the discussions told the Journal.

YouTube recently agreed to be bought by Web search leader Google for $1.65 billion.

It isn't music, per se, but it is a funny clip of Faith Hill getting pissed that she didn't win a CMA.

I know the opinions on U2 are sharply divided here, but this is a great video.

While taking classes towards my French minor many years ago, I heard "Désenchantée" by Mylène Farmer in class. I still listen to the song, but didn't realize there was a video.

Désenchantée

It's not just a video, it's a tragic French-Canadian epic with kids smoking and killing people! The ending is awesome.
