I tried using the whole URL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LweZOAUPUSU), I tried omitting the first part, I tried it using the media button and I tried just typing the whole thing into the text box. Do you have any ideas?

The blog is bibliolore.org.--it's modified Pilcrow, if that helps.

Those are the only sites that have the video. I found it on Youtube but when I clicked on it, the video box read:

"This video contains content from EMI, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

So is my best bet just posting the Dailymotion link? I've done that and posted the song off youtube but the video is just a still of Norah Jones' face.

That's a problem with Hulu. Try looking on a different site for the same video.

Have you tried the Dailymotion shortcode method explained here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/dailymotion/

I'm using the standard URL embedding icon on visual editing. This is the link:

So why not tell us what it is and give us a link to it and tell us the method you are using to embed it.

[youtube=URL]

Everything else goes wonky from time to time, but this always works.
