mr. nice guy: just foolin' around

Sunday, April 01, 2007

happy april first everyone. i pity the fool who doesn't watch that clip. in fact i punish the fool with THIS clip:

Anonymous said...: okay, that foolin' around clip made me smile. those folks are awesomely talented and more fit than a bunch of gymnasts. I was curious enough to check out the second clip, though--is that Ricky Skaggs with Bruce Hornsby? I didn't make it all the way through, not because those fellows aren't awesomely talented, too, but because it just felt so wrong to hear that song, that way.; 4/01/2007 5:50 PM
mr. nice guy said...: mel, thank you for clicking -- that was indeed ricky skaggs. good eye. and it does feel wrong, doesn't it? yet oh so right.

that first clip comes from the 1941 movie "Hellzapoppin'" -- great title. haven't seen the flick, but that clip is enough to make me want to buy eight copies of the dvd.

as a side note, my word verification code is wdoibaby, which i think one of those dancers shouted halfway through their routine. awesome.; 4/01/2007 6:29 PM

I thought three things about the second clip....

"Isn't that Bruce Hornsby??"

"oh my freaking God that is Superfreak--I actually own that on vinyl"

"Rick James is rolling over in his grave."

I was surprised about how much I actually enjoyed it. I used to think that only hicks and old people enjoyed country. I'm just getting old.; 4/03/2007 4:58 PM
