Muppet dancing is always cool. It shows you have spirit (if not much style).

Official band for Rhythm Nation members who practice Muppet dancing: Louis Prima.

Oh, yeah: Woo!

OK, I had to look him up. Nice, but honestly, I prefer David Lee Roth's version of "Just a Gigolo."

Gak! Roth's version was taken, note-for-note, from Prima's arrangement. I don't dislike DLR, and I don't mind people who cover other people's stuff, but showing some originality with a new arrangement is a must!

DixieGal · 11-12-2008, 02:51 PM

But DLR was so pretty! sigh

No argument: He was prettier than Prima.

From the Rhythm Nation: Honorary memberships are hereby extended to Louis Prima (posthumously) and David Lee Roth.

The Rhythm Nation wants to register its firm belief that something is about to happen to America.

There's something due any day;
we will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky,
Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose.

Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to we!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good,
If we can wait!
Something's coming, we don't know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock,
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon;
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!

Around the corner,
Or whistling down the river,
Come on, deliver
To we!
Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holding still,
It'll be there!

Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight . . .
Maybe tonight . . .
Maybe toniiiiiiiiiiiiight . . .

(With thanks to honorary Rhythm Nation member Leonard Bernstein.)

The only thing missing from that video was the (originally filmed but later deleted) scene of the lurking kid in the background getting caught up in the energy of the dancers, and a nimbus of energy formed around him that transformed his rags into official Rhythm Nation marching gear, and inserted him in lockstep with the others.

Woo!

I don't think I like the militaristic direction The Rhythm Nation is moving toward. C'mon people, smile on your brother, everybody get together, got to love one another. Right now.

Awww, my heart is soaring! Caravan of Love is my new favorite song. I nominate it to be our Rhythm National Anthem.

Seriously, no joking, that just brightened up my whole day. Thank you for posting it.

Yeah, I love the version of CoL that Housemartins did. Or we could go for this one

DixieGal · 11-25-2008, 10:22 AM

I'm going to spend all my Pepsi points for Housemartins songs this weekend. They make me feel glad.

Caravan of Love, Happy Hour, Me and The Farmer and Build is probably the best songs they did IMHO
