[ MUSIC ] You're into marriage equality. What do you think about polygamy? The election is officially upon us. It's obvious by the number of attack ads on tv. And amid the sea of negativity, we're left wondering where is the love? [ MUSIC ] If the theme sounds familiar, that's because it is. Songwriter Leah Kaufman starred behind the scenes in the 2008 bible clip" I've got a crush on Obama ". But when the original Obama girl chose not to represent the incumbent this year, Kaufman took center stage to highlight her continuing crush on the president. [ MUSIC ] It truly was a month where old hits were refreshed with new flavor. [ MUSIC ] Collective Soul's 1993 hit, Shine, has been famously covered over the years, but never by a cat. [ MUSIC ] While the crooning cat could of done the product of some Creative editing, we like to believe that it just likes to sing. When we weren't watching singing cats this month, we were focused on invisible horses instead. I don't know if you'll about this Gangnam Style, but, this, this, video. Korean Rap sensation PSY is on a US tour this month, bringing his addictive Gangnam Style song, and it's in invisible horse dance to the masses. So you tweeted out. You actually tweeted out that you want to learn that dance right? Yes. Alright so. Britney Spears counts herself as one of Psy's millions of fans. So when Psy came for a surprise visit on the Ellen Show, she had the rare opportunity to learn the dance. Bounce like. And then goes like this one. So it goes. [ LAUGH ] Alright end of the music. [ SOUND ] One, two, three, four. [ LAUGH ] Hey, Britney we recommend ditching the high heels next time. If doing the invisible horse dance doesn't raise your blood pressure enough, this might. A family of nine ducks was spotted scurrying across a busy five lane highway in Canada. [ SOUND ] A news helicopter filmed their progress from above. As a mother duck and her 8 ducklings dodged the ongoing rush of traffic. By the time they miraculously reached the other side, you'll be reaching from a brown paper bag to catch your breath. [ INAUDIBLE ] Luckily, those ducks didn't have this bus speeding down the highway. A new advertisement for a Danish bus company makes the not so glamorous motor transportation fresh again. [ MUSIC ] Or they try at least with some special effects and a movie score straight out of Hollywood. The bus driver, he's really cool. [ CROSSTALK ] Windows, they're really big. [ NOISE ] [ INAUDIBLE ] Have you ever seen a 40 foot bus do donuts in a parking lot? So they took some creative licenses. [ MUSIC ] But we'll wait while you dig your bus pass out of the depths of your wallet. [ CROSSTALK ] [ MUSIC ] ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"September's Top Viral Videos","description":"September brings you a crooning cat, daring ducks, and an ongoing crush on President Obama in this month's top viral videos","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/HkhKNpFo/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2012-09-28T20:56:24.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/HkhKNpFo.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/HkhKNpFo/","duration":"PT3M12S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/HkhKNpFo/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
