4. Thriller by the inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (Added: July 17, 2007. Views: 32,251,991. Official website: http://www.youtube.com/user/byronfgarcia)

Maybe they are convicted rapists, murderers, or drug dealers, but their impressive homage to Michael Jackson's Thriller music video put the Philippines on the cyber-map. A brainchild of CPDRC prison chief Byron Garcia, the video featuring the dancing 1,500 inmates generated 266,000 views just 48 hours after it was posted. Other dance videos include Jai Ho and I Will Follow Him, among others. The Cebu inmates performed another dance tribute to Michael Jackson after the King of Pop's death on June 25, 2009.


3. Christian the Lion (Added: September 2006 [original version], August 11, 2008 [this version]. Views: 229,115. The original version garnered more than 12 million views, but it was removed from the site. Official website: http://www.alioncalledchristian.com/)


This video was taken from the 1973 documentary Christian, The Lion at World's End which chronicles the reunion of a lion with his former caretakers. In 2006, the clip of the reunion was posted on YouTube and received worldwide attention. We bet using Whitney Houston's I'll Always Love You in the background made this a certified tearjerker.
