The lyrics, as far as I can make them out:
Portobello Road
Music and Lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
Portobello Road! Portobello Road!
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Artifacts to glorify a regal abode
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello Road
Tokens and treasures
Yesterday’s pleasures
Once proud possessions and heirlooms of old
Dented and tarnished,
Scarred and unvarnished
In old Portobello they’re bought and they’re sold
Portobello Road! Portobello Road!
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Artifacts to glorify a regal abode
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello Road
Can you find the treasures in Portobello Road?
Rare alabasters
Dusty old masters
Carpets from [_____] and canes from Bombay
Scrappings from coaches
Byzantine brooches
A harpsichord Chopin was rumored to play
[____] flagons
Ivory dragons
Mandolins mellowed by music of yore,
Austrian crystals
Napoleon’s pistols
Swords that came back from the Crimean War
Portobello Road! Portobello Road!
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Artifacts to glorify a regal abode
Are hidden in the flotsam in Portobello Road
Can you find the treasures in Portobello Road?
Birdwatcher’s handbooks
Censored and banned books
Volumes on alchemy, voodoo and zen
[____] and bride books
Revelers’ guide books
A black magic course from a sorcerer’s pen
Silver pill boxes
Taxidermed foxes
A [____] of Henry the Eighth
A quill used by Shelley
A bruised Boticelli
Religious equipment of every known faith
The [cowls?] of [____]
The rings of a raja
A filigreed samovar owned by the Czars
An ancient mosaic
A scroll in Hebraic
The snipper that clipped old King George’s cigars
Portobello Road! Portobello Road!
Street where the riches of ages are stowed
Anything you’re purchasing is more than it seems
You’re buying the story of mystery and dreams
About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
