The Socks top videos of 2012*

(* and 2011 and 2010, see below)

I'm quite surprised by how many videos the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre ended up uploading to Youtube in 2012, 81 in total (though quite a lot of those were short plugs for shows on the tour, the most popular of which was the one for Aberystwyth). Some crackers, some meh, and some more popular than others. Here comes a rundown of the Top 25 based on viewing figures. Now, bear in mind that they accumulate viewings as the months go by, so those from earlier in the year are likely to rank highest, though you can see October's The Killing is already in there, as is last week's Gangnam Style at number 23 with a bullet (as we say). Here they are...

Most popular Socks video of 2012, Sherlock. Amazingly only about ten seconds of it ended up working well enough to be in the live show, Boo Lingerie. Here are those few seconds in full.

Amazingly I've looked back on the last couple of years, only to find I never got round to wasting an afternoon totting up the best videos of those years. So lets have a look at those top tens shall we?
