Music video question

Is there any way to download music videos - not the fan kind, I mean the far-less-cool kind made by the original artist - from the Internet? I need a copy of "My Humps" for my gender studies class tomorrow; I've been taping VH1 all week and they're not playing it anymore. I did get "Beep" and "Stupid Girls," which will be awesome for class, and an honest-to-goodness Hasidic Jew rapping, which I'm going to copy for a colleague who teaches a course on rap - but I really want "My Humps"! I can watch it for free anytime I want from AOL or Yahoo or MSN, but I can't seem to get a COPY that I can put on a DVD and play for the class. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Is this the My Humps that you're talking about?

If so, go here and plug that URL into the first box and hit the download button. When the page reloads, there will be a link at the top labelled "Video Download." Right-click that and Safe As, and change the file extension to .flv

You'll need one of the players listed at the bottom of the page.

If you use FireFox, there's an alternate method here.

And Matisyahu is wonderful.

Thank you! This looks like a nifty resource.

And the little bit I heard of the Matisyahu video sounded really cool. I thought it was funny that the announcers found it necessary to warn the viewer that this was NOT Weird Al Yankovic.
