here's a short question that should have an easy answer (for someone)... what is the text at the beginning (and end) of a music video? I know it includes the song name, album, artist, record label, and some copyright information, but I'd like to know exactly... and in what order? i don't have cable, so somebody go watch MTV2 for like 2 minutes and see if you can catch it. thanks.

Sometimes it varies as to which is first.

Usually it's the song title, then the artist. Or sometimes they are next to each other. Then the name of the album, and under that is usually the record label and sometimes the year. Some videos have a second screen where it lists who wrote the song and who directed the video. But I think only country music does that.

Yes. Country artists are known for just buying other folks words, not making their own . :P
