Cafe Racer Music?

Hey, thanks for getting back to me on this small thing that's driving me crazy!
OK, I get the copy and paste the html part, but when I do that, all I get it this:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BCNIHB-2cl0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
At best, I just end up with a link that someone has to click on blindly. Everyone else is able to post the actual first frame of the video that you can simply click on and watch.
Is there one more step I'm leaving out?

While researching music for my Christmas radio program I stumbled across this piece of cheese. Perhaps it is one to the motorcycle themed oldies listed generated earlier. I say perhaps because I'm not sure if she's talkin' 'bout motorcycles or bicycles.

What am I doing wrong?

Hmm, the sounds of silence...
Finally, I was able to figure it out, and to help those in the future who, like me, might not be the hippest when it comes to embedding videos, you don't hit "embed," on UTube, nor do you click on "share," because both of those options just give you a lot of HTML gibberish. You have to cut and past the ACTUAL URL on your browser to post a video...
So...finally, a cafe-themed song...at least I think it is, so there...

No problem, Radiopaul...I felt like an idiot trying to figure it out...still don't know why "embed" didn't work.
For reasons that escape me, whenever I ride my bike lately I have "Ace Face" in my head as the background music.
Next, a special prize to whoever can tell me what movie this video is referencing..and yes, I know the woman isn't really riding the bike...

Yup, "Girl on a Motorcycle."
Cool bike, Marianne Faithful (Mick Jagger's then girlfriend) looks pretty good in tight leathers, but I have to keep a six-pack of India Pale Ale alongside to get me through the painful 70's hip dialog...
Now, is it bad with the "Motorbike to Heaven" video, when I see a babe wearing a skin-tight vinyl suit on a bike, I say to myself, Wow, what a beautiful Norton!"?
Should I get out of my motorcycle shed workshop more?

Looking at this previously posted video/song...
The bikes in this clip are very interesting...from a really lame early '60's Italian movie, "Malamondo," which was supposed to be a risque look at alienated post-war youth around the world, doing all sorts of groovy stuff like making out in graveyards (haven't we all done that?...anybody?), and...cafe' racing in the UK.
It's obvious the filmmaker got some real riders and their real bikes for this movie...no finely detailed bikes here...some are clearly missing body panels, others look nothing more than standard bikes with clubmans added (which a lot of "cafe racers" of today would sneer at, and Eeek!, one bike has what looks like a leopard skin vinyl saddle!
But still, there's an Ariel Square Four, and even a bike with a full "dustbin fairing." This is like going back with a time machine...and it's a pretty catchy song, too..sorta like a Dutch version of the Beau Brummels.
I wonder where these guys are now, both the band and the riders.
This has currently been the song going through my head when I've been riding...

Here's one..the La De Da's...a band out of New Zealand, circa 1965. Not that I was zooming around town on a Honda Super 90 back then, but if I was, this is what I'd be listening to...in fact, this song was on heavy rotation in my head as I was riding today, displacing Lady Gaga's "Judas."
("Judas" was only lodged in my head for a while because of the bikes in the video...sorry 'bout that...)

Thanks TonUp. I made good money when I was in my 20s and bought tons of music and could afford to own a few bikes. Then I decided to get into radio and got broke (not really). If you dig the stuff I post, check out my radio show "Buried Treasure" on Tuesday 11:00 am to noonish (I often run a little long) at www.knnd.com (although my stream is currently down as my server got nailed by something nasty, but should be back up soon). The show is nothing but obscure rock 'n' roll from the 50s and 60s. It is my once a week selfish indulgence. Actually just burned the album with La De Das songs on it to disc and both of the La De Das cuts on it are real good.

Just found another motorcycle oldie while dubbing a comp record to digital, Varoom by the Warner Bros. on the Get A Board comp from Satan Records. Same comp from which the Spats - Go Go Yamaha is on that I mentioned way back in this thread so i don't know how I missed before.
