The weekend's almost upon us, dear reader - and thank heavens for that!
We need to ramp up the ante in anticipation of the three-day celebrations to come - so let's have a "double-bill" of delights, shall we?
First up, the marvellous Mr Frankie Valli [who we saw on stage at Proms in the Park back in 2016 - and is still going strong] is 90 years old today. All hail! Here is what in my opinion is one of his best ever hits... with a little help from Mary Poppins!
Moving on to tomorrow, however, there's not a sci-fi geek on earth who hasn't clocked that date - "May the Fourth be with you", otherwise known as Star Wars Day! [Also notable as the date my sister and her uber-sci-fi-nut hubby got wed in 2013]
To round things off in the most appropriate-yet-bizarre way possible, here's Meco's "classic" version of the Star Wars theme, accompanied by what is charitably described as a "ballet" by the Dutch answer to Flick Colby, Penney de Jager... Thank Disco It's Friday!
[As I said last time I posted this: "What did Meco do to deserve this?"]
Have a great May Day weekend, peeps!
As if those shaking maracas weren’t off-putting enough, I need to take a pill after the schizophrenic second video. What the hell!
ReplyDeleteWTF, indeed! And we thought Pans People and Legs & Co's routines were cheesy... Jx
DeleteThe weekend....just in time. What a long week. Set the bar up Smitty's!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a fab long weekend for us, thanks to the May Day bank holiday, so double clinks, sweetie... Jx
DeletePS Hope you're practicing those dance moves!
Whenever the Star Wars theme is involved, whatever it is, you can assume it's going to be nutty, but I was not expecting Dutch whores dancing around in cowboy hats. I'm not sure why not.
ReplyDeleteWhy not, indeed..? Jx
DeleteThat is hands done the weirdest "Star Wars"-themed (I don't know what to call it") I've ever seen! They are more or less country line dancing to the Star Wars theme in unitards. Oh Europe, you're so strange and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, we have often celebrated the seemingly-endless stream of tackiness that emerges from the Netherlands (and Spain. And Italy!)... Jx
DeleteOh dear! That was dreadful; well done you.
ReplyDeleteHartelijk bedankt! Jx
DeleteRe the Star Wars theme video, if I might borrow your remark from 'Jukebox Jury' two days from now, that was "rather odd".
ReplyDeleteI'm going to rewatch Mary Poppins dancing to Frankie Valli to get over it!
It takes some getting over. Jx
