If I look weird in this video, I blame it on 5 things in the following order:
(1) My face naturally looks weird.
(2) I am terrible at improvising motions during songs.
(3) I had to hold my camera because I couldn't find a satisfactory place to put it down.
(4) It's hard to look at the camera while holding my phone because my eyes are tempted to look to the side of the camera onto my own face on the screen as it's recording. This results in my eyes usually looking off-center and sad attempts to balance that by tilting my head or purposefully looking in different random directions sometimes.
(5) I turned the lights green for the video because I guess I thought green lights would be interesting.

Obviously this song contains my rendition of the song "Can't Stop Now" by Keane, so I'm hoping I see an option somewhere in settings to add that info so I don't need to wait for it to get flagged for using copyrighted music. I prefer to keep all my videos ad-free, but when I use a copyrighted song I lose the ability to dictate that - the record company in charge of the band's songs can instead choose whether to take down a video, leave the video alone, or run ads to generate revenue for themselves on the video; most likely it's the final option that will happen, so I apologize for any ads you may experience. If I could pay Keane or their record company $1/year instead so that no ads are ever run on the video then I would do that. And I suspect they'd make more money off my video that way too because I doubt it'll ever generate $1/year of ad revenue.

Edit: It is profoundly stupid that YouTube offers so few options for editing video info in the iOS app. I had to go to the desktop version in Safari just to be able to change the video category from my phone.
