Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think hell move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, cant
Move a rubber tree plant

But hes got high hopes, hes got high hopes
Hes got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin low
stead of lettin go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your backs to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought hed punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin that dam

cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin bad
stead of feelin sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems just a toy balloon
Theyll be bursted soon
Theyre just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

So Dimitry starts out with Veoh TV which will revolutionize watching TV over the internet only to be wiped out by Hulu, switches horses by pulling the plug on Veoh TV to focus on Veoh.com, which is only trying to build a better mouse trap than YouTube lol, and now whittling down the brand to a mere browser plugin? Wow I bet you the browser plugin idea is exactly what the investors thought they were getting when then handed over the cash. If Dimitry were building skyscrapers, what was invisioned as a massive tower would in the end be a utility shed, but a damn good one. I guess next the Video Compass will be scrapped for a Veoh Logo mouse curser that works like a little magnifying glass that will help you see better to click on YouTube and Hulu videos. Well if anything Veoh will be remembered more for the court rulings cast down in their favor over Universal Music Group. I guess everyone obviously hears the "death rattle" at this point for Veoh. Is there a Dr. Kevorkian in the tech industry when you need it? I wonder if the “Video Compass” can show Michael Eisner and the other investors where to see any money they sunk into this money pit.
