Phil Spectre has been found guilty of
You'd never get that with Burt Bacharach!
You know what we need?
More show tunes.
We need more collective singing and dancing. People need to stage big, epic musical numbers in the streets and supermarkets. Why just ask where the Granny Smiths are when you could sing it out as you high-step and shimmy around the fresh fruit section? Never mind weapons of mass destruction, one well produced and choreographed routine could put an end to terrorism, just like that. Who could possibly be angst-ridden and psychotic whilst singing a "Sound of Music" medley, dressed up in their Grandma's best drapes?
I strongly urge you to do yourself and the world a favour, go out today, go to the park and sing! Sing loud! Leap and frolic with your fellow man as though your life depended on it.
Go on. Make a difference. You know you want to.

When I sing babies cry. *sniffle* Can I make balloon animals instead?
Cora ... you sure can! Maybe you could hum or whistle a little while you do it too?
What the world needs is a public beheading of Julie Andrews televised on every channel known to man.
Mr S ... that kind of hostility is not going to help make the world a lovely, fluffy, pink-tinted place!
Some of the partners looked at me weirdly in the elevator when I sang some Nine Inch Nails in my best 'Lounge' style just now...
It's jealousy, Eric. Just ignore them ... or encourage them to join in.
I think when PS had the big ole' afro he should have word a teensy tiny hat the size of a teacup.
That would have been a cool look.
Dr Z ... agreed. You should be a personal stylist to the rich and insane.
That video was totally awesome, and you are complete awesomeness for posting it! Hair is one of my favorite movies, btw. I haven't seen Evan Almighty, but I'll check it out.
Your package was mailed today, it should arrive within 5 business days. xo
I just pranced about singing about Granny Smith apples and someone pushed me into the fruit baskets, which is where I am right now.
That's the last time I take your advice...
Coffee really burns when it's spewed from the nose upon the sight of Phil's bozo do. His serious expression is what did it.
Diane ... thank you!!! Yay! :P And glad you liked the vid, I nearly used the clip from the original Hair film, it was just fab! This clip is from The 40 Year Old Virgin ... watch it if you get the chance, it's very amusing.
Mo ... I don't think you can have been giving it enough shimmy.
Lost ... apologies, I should have issued a warning beforehand. I struggle to believe anyone could take themselves seriously whilst looking like one of the Hair Bear Bunch.
I always wanted to make a musical about OJ SImpson called An Innocent Man. Johny Cochrane, of course, would be played by the devil. He'd enter in with a slide while a chorus of back men sing a sort of gospelly hymn. Mark fuhrman would be the bad guy, of course, and OJ would sing and dance while waving a knife around with synchronized knifedancers behind him.
Phil Spector should have been tried for crimes against music. He did a collaboration with Leonard Cohen in 1977 which the word "interesting" simply cannot do justice to.
JP ... I actually hate musicals (well theatre ones anyway) but I would most definitely pay to go and see that!
Mr S ... I was reading about that today! Cohen said he'd never work with him again ... mostly because he allegedly had a habit of holding a gun to Cohen's head anytime there were creative differences
But I'm sure he's innocent of shooting that poor woman really
Allegedly he pulled a gun on Cohen and said something like "You love me, don't you Leonard?".
Which is shocking enough but the fact that the fruit of their musical union included a song called "Don't Go Home With Your Hard-on" must surely top it.
How has the man escaped incarceration this long, is what I'm now wondering ...
If I sang, the world would cry.
I remember Phil and his wife dancing in their driveway after he was acquitted (news helicopters followed them home)...who's dancing now, baby?
J.J. ... precisely
Still can't get over Phil's hair, seems like you could just strike him like a little match.
Stranger than Nick Nolte's mug shot after a night on the town...
Even stranger that he CHOSE to have his hair like that!! :|
I'm surprised that this trial took so long. I thought they would have bumped up his due process so they wouldn't have to see his eccentric hairstyles for so long.
Hey Chaka ... I think they were secretly intrigued to know which hairdo he was gonna turn up with next
I know I was
Whoops! He wasn't acquitted, it was a hung jury.
The 1st trial was all over the news here. The 2nd was almost never mentioned. I think they wanted it to be lowkey so no one could influence the jury.
And it worked!
Sorry it took me so long to respond to your post but I had to dance and sing through that entire video b/c I couldn't find a stop button on it! :)
PS is one crazy Meffer...glad he's gone!
J.J. ... it did indeed! Couldn't happen to a ... weirder person
Peggy ... lol hope you enjoyed your song and dance :P
I've tried your suggestion, many times.
Singing, dancing, humping people's legs while squeezing a melon..
My own children throw stuff at me.
See that wouldn't phase me, my Mother does that ... well not the humping part .... all the time!
I hope you throw stuff back?
There's a musical in my head all the time. It's just a matter of unleashing it on the world.
Also I forgot how hairy Steve Carrell's chest is.
I cheered today (also inside my head, accompanied by trumpets) when I heard about Phil's conviction. It's about time.
Vic ... unleash it! :P
It is rather hairy, but there's something weirdly attractive about him, maybe I'm just easy for guys who make me laugh.
Me too ... but mine was accompanied by kazoos
Oh man...I just watched the Sound of music and I really want to. Sing songs and frolic that is.
I'm with you, Greta! Cmon ...
"Doh, a deer, a female deer ..."
Love those pictures. I think he was at three Halloween parties. He went as, in order: Rod Blagojevich, Carol Brady, and Yahoo Serious. (You'll probably have to Google Rod.)
"I like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmonieeeeeee..."
Sorry, I was just looking for the Coke :)
Words ... you were right, I did have to Google him
*hands PrincessImp a coke* You have a lovely singing voice :P
