    Also, this is quite a fascinating character in history: Florence Foster Jenkins. She was this self-proclaimed opera singer that had the money to back up her career in spite of her complete inability to sing. Here's a recording of her singing.

    If you are interested in finding out more about this, here's some info:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Foster_Jenkins

    Let me just say that I am thoroughly impressed with her accompanist. They had to be REALLY good.

    Ok. First, was that a music video, or a snowboarding commercial? heh....

    Second, does anyone else think the dude rapping kind of sounds like the guy from Love Shack?

    As far as I can tell, it was a music video about the making of a snowboard commercial. I'm not familiar enough with Love Shack to make a call on that one.

    The real issue at this point is the guy with the hat. Underneath it he's shaved bald with a long braid out the top, and a handlebar moustache.

    An overview of the outlying data points collected from a survey of the first page of a YouTube search for "swing dance":

    Asians Swing Dance?? Today's dishonorable mention and "BBVD Award".

    Twice Blessed (1945) Worth it for the dialog alone, with such gems as "One mustn't be closed-minded in these matters." and "Cut the floy-floy, Carrie!" Good stuff. 2:40 is my favorite.

    Estrada 2006 Documentary evidence that someone in Russia is legit.

    Swing Dance Demo I was relieved beyond measure to find that the disclaimer at the beginning is true only in a happy, safe, and well-connected way.

    Also thick and fast on the first page are clips of ULHS and Hellzapoppin'. Woot.
