This is awesome

Great photos and a representative song about the top 25 metros in the US from Las Vegas at 25 to NYC at # 1.

Enjoy! Discuss if you'd like, the music, the photos, and stature of each.

Fantastic video showing very positive aspects of ever city. Most of the photos were very outdated, especially the ones of Philly (all of the Philly photos are before 2008), but it's nice to see a positive video about so many awesome places in one country.

Some notes-

1. The MSA numbers are old.
2. When it gets to Dallas, there is a picture that is of Chicago, not Dallas.

yeah I did notice that, and I wasn't expecting Cotton Eye Joe for Dallas either. The video has some flaws though it's a nice visual of the stats and mildly entertaining.

Nice vid. They could've used some better songs for some cities. But overall, good vid.

Ha ha, I liked it even though some of the songs were unexpected. Cotton Eyed Joe for Dallas had me cracking.

I was expecting "New York, New York" to be played for New York because that is the first song that comes to mind when I think of New York because it is so classic, but the one they chose works too, I guess. It is recently popular.

Couldn't they have gotten anything better than Luda for ATL???

At the 55 second mark, San Antonio looks particularly lovely. Perhaps because that is not San Antonio. It's Austin.

You know their music selection was very appropriate for nearly all the cities like Wiz for Pittsburgh, Eminem for Detroit, Will Smith for Miami but what was up with that country music for Dallas? LOL

They got some pictures wrong to.

So are San Antonio and Houston but you don't see them playing country music. It's cool if it embodies the culture of Dallas but I have been there and country music didn't even look popular there. Try EDM's or clubmusic that's a better fit for the Dallas I saw.

My favorites from the video outside of just LA and San Francisco were Pittsburgh, San Diego, and Atlanta. Boston and Chicago looked like beautiful cities to but the music was just gassy gross.
