OK, this is one of the most remarkable video I’ve watched in some time, on several levels. It’s funny; it’s politically relevant; the two characters are actually quite good at martial choreography; and it even has special effects: Be warned that it’s a bit long (9 minutes), but worth watching.

Featuring some of the worst lip syncing and most embarrassing dance moves ever seen, even in a 60s music video: Still, I must confess I’ve always liked the song. Hat tip to the lovely and erudite Ann Althouse.  ..bruce w..

Joe Cocker’s cover of “A Little Help from My Friends” at Woodstock in 1969 is legendary for both his spasmotic gyrations and the incomprehensibility of his lyrics. It’s just remarkable fun to watch and listen to (and now you’ll know where John Belushi got those moves from). But now — and I have to assumue […]
