MJ: Turista filma guarda real tocando Thriller [nothing i like better than a re-post i can't read, but thanks you bumped it up there, brazil!]

Turista filma guarda real tocando Thriller

A filmagem, feita por um turista no último dia 1 de julho, mostra 40 soldados da banda militar real ensaiando sua versão de Thriller, de Michael Jackson, nas proximidades do palácio de Buckingham.

Segundo Andy Crick, do tablóide inglês The Sun, dezenas de turistas ficaram boquiabertos quando, no meio de um ensaio com músicas tradicionais, repentinamente os soldados começaram a tocar o sucesso de Michael, marchando numa formação em triângulo (no lugar das tradicionais filas) que lembrava os passos de zumbi celebrizados do clipe de Michael Jackson.

A mais antiga e mais conhecida banda militar vem praticando o número nos últimos dois meses. Um porta-voz informou que a música faz parte do repertório de verão da banda para alguns eventos. “Foi apenas uma coincidência, não um tributo a Jackson”, disse o assessor.

O fato é que a “apresentação” ocorre apenas uma semana depois de a mundialmente famosa banda ter assinado um contrato de 1 milhão de libras com a gravadora Universal Music.

Jackson 5 cartoon - I Want You Back

The Jackson 5ive was a Saturday morning cartoon series produced by Rankin/Bass from 1971 to 1973; a fictionalized portrayal of the careers of Motown recording group The Jackson 5. The series was animated mainly in London at the studios of Halas and Batchelor, and some animation done at Estudios Moro, Barcelona, Spain. The director was Spanish-American Robert Balser.

Other than appearing in the introduction, the actual Jackson brothers themselves—Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael—were unable to contribute to the show in any way due to scheduling conflicts. Only their music was used. A specially recorded medley of four Jackson 5 #1 hits—"I Want You Back", "The Love You Save", "ABC", and "Mama's Pearl"—served as the show's theme song.

Like most animated comedies of the time, The Jackson 5ive contained a laugh track. The show debuted on September 11, 1971 and ran for two seasons on ABC.

Fred Flinstone Yogi Bear Jabberjaw Huckleberry Hound Scooby-Doo The Banana Splits Hong Kong Phooey Quick Draw McGraw Worst of the Worst of the Worst... of the Worst

In my ongoing mission to torture Beware of the Blog readers with insufferable nineteen seventies kitsch I have sunk to a new low. I would have sunk to this earlier but this did not hit the internet until this week. I thought it could get no worse than The Brady Kids - Wonder Woman crossover. I was wrong. Roy Clark, jonesing for even more stomach-churning hokum than Hee-Haw could offer, called up the chick from One Day at a Time to help host a roast and celebration of Fred Flintstone. Not the real Fred Flintstone but one in a giant foam outfit. Along for the ride, defying all stone-age continuity, are other Hanna-Barbera characters in oversized cloth forms : Jabberjaw, The Banana Splits, Snagglepuss, Hong Kong Phooey, The Hair Bear Bunch and on down the line. The laugh track seems to be enjoying itself immensely (although if you listen closely you might hear a bit of a retch track). This is truly the worst thing I have ever seen - and although I appreciate the absolute awfulness of it all - even I can't bring myself to watch ALL FIVE PARTS that are on YouTube. Oh - one minor detail I forgot about. It is, of course, ON ICE.

Jerry Lee Lewis + Jack Good + Shakespeare= 'Catch My Soul' MOISTWORKS [MP3s Disabled]

Thursday, August 17, 2006   ACT II SCENE I ACT II SCENE III Jerry Lee Lewis Othello Unreleased c. 1968 Here's Jerry Lee Lewis's Iago, which comes to us courtesy of a Rock and Roll Othello Jack Good dreamt up after seeing Lewis in 1958, and finally staged a decade later. The relevant passage from Nick Tosches's terrific Hellfire: Good and the rest of the crew were surprised to discover that Jerry Lee was the only actor who knew all his lines at the first rehearsal. "I never thought there was so many words," Jerry Lee later told a Los Angeles Times reporter. "This Shakespeare was really somethin'. I wonder what he woulda thought of my records." On opening night, and on every night following, Jerry Lee stole the show. He prowled the stage, speaking Shakespeare's poetry in perfect meter, but with no concern to conceal or even to temper his own Louisiana accent. The bright green-and-gold grand piano stood onstage throughout the play, and Jerry Lee not only sat at it to pump the songs that Ray Pohlman had written for him and for the seventeen-piece orchestra in the pit, but also to rake and hammer and tinkle in punctuation of his spoken lines, the most evil of Shakespeare's imaginings. (He fooled with the lines occasionally, as on two evenings, coming upon the corpse of Roderigo in Act V, he howled "Great balls of fire! My friend, Roderigo!") Theatre critics did not respond very favorably to the show, but most of them expressed praise, even awe for Jerry Lee's virtuoso performance. The Christian Science Monitor called him a "Louisiana-born genius" and a "unique Iago." The critic for theToronto Daily Star, before going on to damn the show, wrote that "Jerry Lee Lewis is genuinely diabolical as Iago. It is astonishing what new implications of evil he can find in words as simple as 'Go to, very well, go to.' Word spread and the theatre filled, night after night, with those eager to witness this wild, redneck Iago, this man, banished ten years ago, barely remembered, now bearing fire anew, hissing at them in unforgiving wrath.... According to Tosches, Lewis identified completely, and sprinkled Iago's monologues in among his encores for years to come. America's Klaus Kinski, on Jesus tour. NB: Here's what JLL had to say about life on his great-grandaddy's plantation: "He'd take his fist, hit a horse, knock that horse to his knees. A hell of a man, Old Man Lewis. Then they turned all the slaves loose." NRBQ: A few more tracks. First, a little argument JLL and Sam Phillips had, a minute or two before recording "Great Balls of Fire." Next, an old favorite from the latter-day Sun sessions. And, finally, two songs from Lewis's performance/public exorcism at Hamburg's Star Club, c. 1964 - though for all I know (and you'll read different in the comments, below), he played like this every night....
