YouTube is one of over 60 video sharing sites, but it's the most popular. One grouse is the long downloading time. To overcome this, start the video first before the lecture, so that when it's time to show it, hopefully the video is fully streamed and there will not be disturbing breaks in between.
Here's a short video from YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06-vs98dAoc). I like the angelic voice of the boy. The singing is ethereal:
I remember once after a student used YouTube in his presentation, there were other "related" videos that were listed; and one of them was on an unsavoury subject, and the other students were clamouring to show that video until I asked the student whether that video was in any way related to his presentation. This is the distracting part of YouTube. Of course, we can always download first the video onto the harddrive for teaching purposes.
I have also attached a learning video on perspective sketching (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PmlVdZNCDg) into my module MeL site:
