Kermit and Debbie Harry - Rainbow Connection

My favourite song (as of recently). Just magic!

And again with Debbie Harry from Blondie.

 Happy Valentine's Day Chiharu!

So good!

Groucho Marx, Dr. Seuss and The Littlest Hobo (in Japanese)

Someone posted this on Facebook. Dr. Seuss writes children's books with hidden moral messages. He does it as entertainingly as anyone really could, and gets the message across even if you don't realise the story's deeper meaning (as kids obviously don't). This is a cool picture revealing those hidden messages. I've written the real titles underneath.

             The Butter Battle Book       The Sneetches       The Cat in the Hat        The Lorax

 Yertle the Turtle    How the Grinch Stole Christmas    Green Eggs and Ham    Horton Hears a Who


And to go with it, here's a quote by Groucho Marx - 

"A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five."

To cap it off, here is the JAPANESE theme to one of my favourite shows when I was little. This is the Japanese song that accompanied The Littlest Hobo. Actually, this was the theme to the old 60s show, rather than the 80s version I watched. I didn't even know there WAS a 60s version until I found this, but I was still pretty chuffed with myself! In Japan, it was broadcasted from 1963 to 1965. The Japanese title was "Meiken London", means excellent dog London. This was posted on youtube by Franken000.

この音は当時のテレビ放送の音を受像機から録音したものです。
レコードからではありません。

Here's the English 60s version. I think the Japanese one might have it beat. 

 

But... Oh no! What's this? The 80s LH theme tune? BOOM!!! BIG DOG IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!

Chris Rock Quote and a Grandaddy Tripple Bill

I love my QI quote book and so here's another, by Chris Rock (with a bit of bad language!) - 

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?"


This is one amazing video and two live clips of the amazing band that was Grandaddy. The first is Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground). Jed was a robot named in another song. The second is Now It's On (on Later... in 2006). The third is So You'll Aim Towards the Sky.
