Metavid
Metavid is a free-software wiki-based community archive project for audio video media. The site hosts public domain US legislative footage. It was started as a Digital Arts/New Media MFA thesis project of Michael Dale and Abram Stern under the advisement of Professor Warren Sack in late 2005 at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Its continued development is supported by a grant from the Sunlight Foundation. It works by using a "simple Linux box to record everything that C-SPAN shoots", which can then be used to provide "brief searchable clips using closed-captioning text".
Metavid Archive
Metavid has been archiving since early 2006 and hosts over a thousand of hours of US House and Senate floor footage. Originally metavid hosted house and senate committees but they were taken down in response to legal threats by CSPAN. As of late 2007 C-SPAN has adopted a more liberal copyright policy. The Metavid archive hosts the largest free & reusable archive of house and senate legislative footage. Through a partnership with archive.org the original mpeg2s are made accessible through the metavid site. The US House launched its own video site and repository in 2010 and the Senate followed in 2011. As these content sources became available, Metavid stopped archiving these chambers due to the labor-intensive process of separating proprietary C-SPAN content from public domain floor proceedings.

My Two Feet
by: Old 97'sBaby trust me
Your television is empty
I try to tell you babe you can’t see
You’re turned on
Headstrong
It’s hurting now but it won’t be long
I’ve got a habit of moving on
It gets so lonesome you don’t know
It’s such a lonely way to go
I’m going on down the mountain on my two feet and I’m going slow
I’m going on down the mountain on my two feet and I’m going slow
Right there, upstairs
I’m dressed and unprepared
For the moment baby you don’t care
You’re so fine, so fine
For the moment baby you were mine
I ain’t saying it was by design
It gets so lonesome you don’t know
It’s such a lonely way to go
I’m going on down the mountain on my two feet and I’m going slow
I’m going on down the mountain on my two feet and I’m going slow
Sometimes you’re 17
Sometimes you’re 65
Sometimes you’re giving it your best try
And nothing’s right and nothing’s right
You get a second chance
It’s with you every day
You know it’s always been that way
You make it stay
You make it stay
I bet you said what have I done to deserve this mess
That’s as easy as a question gets
Well, you should have said yes
But you couldn’t care less
It gets so lonesome you don’t know
It’s such a lonely way to go
I’m going on down the mountain on my two feet and I’m going slow
