Videos

This week was flourishing with viral videos, but we managed to narrow hundreds down to a single top 10. (Confession: We may have had some help from our clap-o-meter.)

Among the privileged were a real-life re-enactment of the popular mobile game, 'Angry Birds,' put on by T-Mobile in Barcelona. Even with the popularity of the iPhone and Android game, we were still surprised when the video blew past 1 million views in its first two days on the Internet.

The legendary country duo that was Brooks & Dunn "retired" back in 2009, but the famed band's ex-members Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are still keeping busy.

Brooks is working on a new album and filming a western called 'To Kill a Memory' with "Boots On" singer Randy Houser. Dunn has a new album out and a hit single with 'Bleed Red,' and he'll be touring the nation solo for the next few months. You can sign up on our Facebook page for your chance to win two tickets and backstage passes to Dunn's July 21st show in Yakima, WA.

We got a little nostalgic thinking about all that history, though, so we surfed the tubes and collected what we think are the five best classic Brooks & Dunn music videos. Check 'em out, and let us know if we missed any (or if we're just flat wrong).

With a foul ball heading toward him, and his daughter in his arms, a man at a Los Angeles Dodger's game had to make a split-second choice

He decided to drop his daughter and go for the catch. While this may have been a justifiable decision if he had been able to snag the ball, he dropped that, too.

Luckily, the daughter was uninjured, and any abandonment issues can be worked out later in therapy.

Check out the video of the double drop below. And then watch an older video of a more dexterous fan managing to both hold onto his child and catch a foul ball.

While summer doesn’t officially start until June 21, the Memorial Day holiday marks the unofficial beginning to the year’s hottest season.

Summer loses some of its meaning when you’re an adult, since it no longer comes with a multi-month break from the grind that is your regular life.

Nevertheless, we can all still enjoy a good movie about summer vacations, and after the jump are eight of our favorites.
