I'm sick of watching middle-aged men on Youtube, taking pointless trips to out-of-the-way places in the hope of getting a few miserable viewers to watch them, adding to their headcount so they can scratch out a living. I think what spurred me to think again was watching Steve and Alijca on the Queen Mary, sailing to New York, and he never shaved once on the voyage. What a scruff! I wanted more so I opened a clip at random. Success! It was a dance troupe, what I think they call a Flash Mob, dancing to Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know.
The dancers were dressed in ordinary clothes, albeit it a little eccentric. Some of the men were even in suits. And the dancing was quirky and immaculate. I'll bookmark it (if I can work out how) to watch it again,
Flushed with success, I browsed further. I noticed the name Barbara Dickson and I immediately recalled a tallish, blonde, Scottish soprano who used to sing on The Two Ronnies. She had a hit song, a duet with Elaine Page called I Knew Him so Well.
In this clip she was dragged out of the audience by some nameless comedian and forced to sing the duet with him. Again, brilliant!
I think I'm, on to a good thing.
