How can I get a Youtube music video + lyrics into Lextutor Cloze Builder?

NOTE: Youtube videos require Adobe's (free) Flash player

ANY Youtube video will fit into the URL space and the cloze output page will run its video. HOWEVER you do not use the URL that Youtube provides, but rather the EMBED information just below this URL.

This is a typical URL as provided by Youtube, which will open a Youtube page but NOT embed the movie in another page:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XLtiFeYm5Y

Lextutor needs the EMBED version of the URL, which is slightly different. In the little EMBED window just below the URL, select all (Ctrl-A) and paste it into a text file, where it will look someting like this:

<object width="560" height="340"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8XLtiFeYm5Y&hl=en&fs=1&"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8XLtiFeYm5Y&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"> </embed></object>

From this code, dig out the URL, up to the first ampersand (&) only, which will embed the video into a non-Youtube Web page, such as a Lextutor page.
(So from the code above, it would be this - http://www.youtube.com/v/8XLtiFeYm5Y).

HOWEVER, most Youtube videos do not provide the song or other words/lyrics that you need to make a cloze passage. You could always write them yourself now that you have the song.

Or, you can go to MUVIDS.COM (music videos dot com), which provides lyrics in a copy ready format in SOME of its music videos, basically those that come from Youtube. To find out if a video is embeddable, you must launch the video, then click your Right Mouse over it, and see if "Copy embed html" comes up as one of the choices.

If so, select it, and an automatic copy of the code goes into your clipboard memory. Paste this somewere,where it will look, for example, like this:

<object width="425" height="344"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E-uUwQf2cZE&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"> </param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/E-uUwQf2cZE&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Again, dig out the URL up to the ampersand
http://www.youtube.com/v/E-uUwQf2cZE
and paste it into Lextutor cloze builder.
