starwefter pointed me to this one, which is more than 9 minutes long, and I watched every minute of it, fascinated. If any vids ever deserve to go viral, this is one of them! The city of Grand Rapids was declared by Newsweek to be a "dying" American city, and the citizens decided to take objection to it with a video lipsync of a live version of Don McLean's "American Pie" - and let me tell you, Grand Rapids ain't dying!
