Youtube DJ


Youtube DJ

So, I invented a music game utilizing YouTube for playing music.  Everyone knows that Youtube has a ton of music uploaded so there is plenty of material to pull from.  I noticed one day that there is normally music videos linked at the left of any music video you visit on the site and normally they are similar artists.  I then came up with my very own game.

Step One: Find one youtube video of a song to start.  It could be any song.  I picked  Animals - House Of The Rising Sun  from the website www.reddit.com/r/music  

Step Two: When the song ends your next song you are to listen to will be on the right in the suggested videos section. Choose the first video that is not an advertisement and is not the same artist as one song that you have already listened to.
Step Three: Listen to song and repeat.

One playlist I did ended up like this:

House of the Rising Sun - Animals
Lola - The Kinks
Lou Reed - Walk On The Wild Side
Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel
Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime
Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum
Soggy Bottom Boys - I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow (Oh shoot)
Kid Rock - All Summer Long
Nickelback - Rockstar
AC/DC- Thunderstruck
Kiss - Take It Off (Uncensored Version)
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
W.A.S.P. - Harder Faster
Iron Maiden - Aces High


Alternate Rules:

  1. Pick any song on the suggested list that is your favorite and see where it goes.
  2. Try to get to a genre or specific video using above rules. (Try to get to classical from metal)
