Ellen, Gladys, and a Farting Baby

Apparently I have a lot of free time, because I've been spening an inordinate amount of time on YouTube lately. Here are my favorites from this week:

If you watch the Ellen show, you'll remember she's been calling a hilarious little old lady from Austin, Texas named Gladys:

Gladys Leaves Ellen A Message
Ellen Calls Gladys Back
Ellen Calls Gladys Back Again

Of course, there's the obligatory farting baby videos:

Powder Fart
No, that's not a chair moving

Enjoy!

Laugh and the World Laughs...?

Laughing can be good for you, it's true, but this guy is more insane than healthy in my book:

For more laughs: the laughing baby, more laughing babies, the best laugh ever, and laughing with consequences.

YouTube RoundUp: Cats Edition

I laughed so hard the first time I saw this that I couldn't breathe. Maybe it's having a cat that gives it a frame of reference, but still.

And remember, The Cat Came Back.

YouTube Round-Up: Mantovani Edition

So I thought you guys should have a look at the man who long ago started down the road that led to the touring commentary of the past few weeks: Annunzio Paolo Mantovani. He was a really prolific recording artist in his day and one of the more famous musical personalities of the twentieth century. (That being said, I didn't recognize the name when I got the gig at first-- doh.)

No Charmaine to be found, but here are a couple more tunes to check out:
Lonely Ballerina
Lazy Gondolier
Sous les Ciels des Paris
Come Prima

This kind of encapsulates how I feel about this number myself:

YouTube Round-Up: Funky Flute

I love the flute. It's hands-down my favorite instrument to play in shows, tied with its tiny brother, the piccolo. As much as I practice, though, I'll never be as cool as Greg Pattillo:

Now I know Ian Anderson has been doing alt-flute stuff on screen and recording for a while, but this guy is great. He's also got a performance duo called The National Debt-- fun stuff that. I've been watching these gems for a while now and can't get enough:

Sesame Street
Super Mario
Inspector Gadget

Friday YouTube RoundUp: Tales of Mere Existence

Disclaimer: Just so you know, these are usually NOT WORK SAFE.

Tha being said, this is some of the funniest shit I've some across in a while. Lev Yilmaz does animation by drawing on the reverse side of a piece of paper in front of the camera, and his running narration is hilarious.

YouTube Roundup: The Queens of Burlesque

All week I've been promising you a Round Up of the lovely ladies of burlesque, and finally, here they are!

The first and biggest shout-out goes to one of my favorite performers in the neo-burlesque world, the lovely and talented Michelle L'amour. Her balloon routine and fan dance are probably my favorite routines I've ever seen. For your enjoyment, here they are (links only, as the vids are not work safe):

Miss L'amour is the latest in a long line of showgirls who practice "the art of the tease". As I've said before, the art of the tease is not simply the act of taking off one's clothes-- it involves a lot more artistry than that. To quote one of my favorite shows "Anyone can take their clothes off, but to do it in front of a thousand people, well, that really takes something."

This isn't a new art, by any means. Salome did it with the Dance of the Seven Veils, and more recently the burlesque queens of the early film era had the art locked and loaded. Acts like Lily St.Cyr, Tempest Storm, Sandra Storm, and Cherry Knight lit up the silver screen with acts ranging from artistic to downright lewd. Then there's also the fan and bubble dancer Sally Rand (I don't care if she was a "class act", she still made people think she was dancing nude-- that's the art of the tease all right.) This "Chinese Joy Dance" video makes no pretense-- she's working it out pasties and all as a member of the famed Follies Bergere. Enjoy these lovely ladies, and have a happy weekend!

YouTube Roundup: Bill O'Reilly Needs A Nuclear Suppository Edition

Today's YouTube RoundUp is dedicated to that stinking gasbag Bill O'Reilly. There are not even words to describe what I think this man deserves in terms of a smack down, but to have it delivered by an 8-year old? Priceless.

(In fairness, this is an ad for the band the Bastard Fairies, whose work I'm basically indifferent about, but who hired a genius in the director of this ad.)

Back to the point: O'Reilly was not really ever on my radar until his interview with Terry Gross (Fresh Air) aired on NPR, in which he conclusively proved what a complete asshat he is. From there, it was all downhill. Some of the many reasons I hate Bill O'Reilly:

YouTube RoundUp: Ukulele Jake Edition

I'm sure by now, everyone has seen the incredible video of ukulele artist Jake Shimabukuro playing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" in Central Park, but I just had to share it again here.



Ukulele Jake is one of the most incredible instrumental artists I've ever heard-- this version of the song is also one of the most incredibly musical performances I've ever seen as well. Hubby and I were so excited about him the we decided to make the trek up to Philly to hear him play live, but our trip got scrubbed at the last minute because of the flooding last summer. By the way, the video of him with Tommy Emmanuel below is one of my favorites. If you haven't heard him play before, go forth and listen. You won't be disappointed.

YouTube RoundUp: Roll Tide Roll

Today's RoundUp has only one entry, or rather, one subject. The Alabama Million Dollar Band playing the only song any Alabama football fan cares about this time of year: the Alabama fight song.

I freaking love the fact that it kinda looks like Big Al is getting his game on with some jiggly Crimsonette there for a minute, and how great is it that you can clearly hear the fans singing every word of the fight song in the sing-along break? Not many places that that's going to happen. Most places you'd just hear a lot of whooping and cheering. I mean, even itty bitty kiddies are on board down there (I love how her Mom bribes her with a Barbie). Love it, love it. And in case you've never been to an Alabama football game, check this out: The Million Dollar Band from the end zone. Roll Tide, baby.

YouTube RoundUp: Sunny Days

Like most of my generation, one of the first things I can remember seeing on television was Sesame Street. The language and songs still make their way into my vernacular, and of course, whenever I hear a countoff, this is what runs through my mind:


Remember all of these classic clips?

And seriously, when I was a kid some of the best concert seats to be had were in front of the tube watching Sesame Street:Next week, a Bip Bippadotta retrospective.

YouTube RoundUp: A Bip Bippadotta Retrospective

As I promised last week, this week's RoundUp focuses on the career of the intrepid Bip Bippadotta. Who is Bip Bippadotta you ask? Why none other than the star of one of the most famous Muppet Show sketches of all time, Mahna Mahna:

Bip began his career in a sketch on Sesame Street in 1969, in which it's clear that his career has yet to take off.

(Note the subdued striped sweater and his decidedly more calm coif. Clearly not yet in the fashion echelon so coveted by the clients of Rachel Zoe today.) Two days later, it's apparent that Hollywood has come calling when he appears on the Ed Sullivan show in what was to become his trademark look- orange hair and a green shag top, and his eyes have already taken on that vacant I need to wear shades to do this cast. His erstwhile companions have already been replaced by the Snowths, a more polished complement to his scat stylings.

The artist now known as Bip Bippadotta began his career as a Little Anything Muppet, going on to distinguish himself in the aforementioned performances as a solo artist. Cameo appearances followed on Sesame Street in songs such as Fat Cat Sat Hat, Some of Us, Everybody's Song, and Air. He struggled with his identity through the 70's, known only by the title of his hit performance, until the 1979 release of Every Body's Record, on which he finally received artist credit as Bip Bippadotta.

The song that made Bip Bippdotta a household icon was originally composed by Piero Umiliani and made famous as a single from the movie Svezia, Inferno E Paradiso, which the Muppet Wiki refers to as a documentary about Sweden. As a clarification, this is a movie about sexuality in Sweden which "shows contraceptives for teen girls, lesbian nightclubs, wife swapping, porno movies, biker gangs, and Walpurgis Night celebrations. It also examines Sweden's purported drug, drinking and suicide problems." (IMDB) Listen to a good remix of the original single here, or watch the entire film here.

UPDATE: And I almost forgot, for Keith: Bip's hair was made from either the equivalent of long pile shag fur, what appears to be ostrich fringe, or a combination of the two (ostrich hair and shag beard, etc.)

Swear to God-- this cracked me up so much that I called D at work and made him watch it on the phone with me. Mainly because this pretty much happens every morning to D when Gizmo starts getting antsy at 4 a.m. And just for the extra cuteness factor that everyone needs in their day:

YouTube RoundUp: Rockin' The ContraBassoon

Everybody knows that I'm a fool for a Super Mario Brothers Theme, and how could I say no to one played on a contrabassoon?



Make sure you click through to the actual YouTube page and read the info section: it's almost as hilariously bad as the video intro. FYI, today's RoundUp was inspired by a hilarious sound file of a contrabassoon audition TinyFlutist sent me today. I swear to God I would never have been able to keep a straight fact through that recording. Anyway, more love for those of the contrabass whatever persuasion:

YouTube RoundUp: The Falling Man

One additional entry today for the Friday YouTube RoundUp-- this is something I had been meaning to watch and post about for a while now, the documentary 9/11: The Falling Man, which an intrepid user has posted in its entirety on YouTube for everyone to see. I don't necessarily recommend everyone watch it, since it is more than a little creepy and really disturbed me at the outset with its retelling of the events preceding the fall of the towers, but I do think it's a powerful examination of another aspect of that day that hasn't been done to death. (Definitely don't watch it if you're not in a "safe" place mentally. And don't ask me how I thought it was appropriate viewing fare for two A.M. on a Friday-- my mind is a strange place.) I thought it was interesting-- you decide for yourself:

That kind of possible relation of his turns of phrase is exactly why I've hated George W. Bush from day one. *le sigh*

Friday YouTube Roundup: Road Tunes

Finally, after years and years of thinking about this, someone's actually gone and done it.



To explain my statement above, when I was in high school I spent many a weekend in a van full of band geeks trucking down the road to honor band festivals, and we'd always invariably reach a point where we were so bored that our band director would edge off the road enough to hit the rumble strips, at which point we'd all completely geek out and try to figure out the pitch of said vibration at whatever speed we'd reached. We postulated that someone should and could do something like what they did in California, but of course when they did it either the speed limit was too low for the engraving they did or they were all completely tone deaf (I'm voting for the former, because it stands to reason that they wouldn't waste all that effort for the pitch to be off.)

To be fair, Japan had already had done it a while ago, but it's something that makes me chuckle nonetheless.
