This one?
Really worth your time to watch this everyone.
Nice! 4 min video (last 2 min. are credits) pretty lady singing in Thai, while her face/body is aging, decaying, becoming a corpse with worms crawling out.
Great juxtaposition between the music with the flavor of hopeful foolish optimism of typical human, with the truth of aging and decay to counter balance that.

For me, I seldom practice Asubhanussati because I can't memorise the 32 words forward and backward. It is said that one who desired to practice this meditation, should throughoutly memorise the 32 words and have a clear understanding on each words, positions, elements, form, colour etc. Then capable of internalise the words (that's where memorisation comes).

what helps with memorization is use your finger to point to each body part on yourself, in order of the 31, simultaneously as you recite.
When you combine spatial location, visualization, vocal, then it's just like memorizing the driving directions to the grocery store you go to all the time.
