The other day I saw the fabulous King Tut video over at FFE’s place and this morning I showed it to Nog (who very surprisingly had never seen it before). Anyhow, watching ol’ Steve walk like and Egyptian reminded me that he is in fact quite a fine dancer and I remembered a tv programme I saw ages ago (turns out it was in 1981) that had Steve and Gregory Hines tap dancing together. And I just found it on YouTube so here it is for your viewing pleasure.

And here is my hero having a banjo duel with the amazing Earl Scruggs . . .

Nog & I were over at our favourite local ay Maricrú! yesterday, having a pre-lunch drinkatito, and Coldplay was on the soundsystem there. Which reminded me of this very funny video by Mitch Benn called Everything Sounds Like Coldplay Now.

Any other good musical parodies you’d like to share?

Mitch Benn and the Distractions

ps. . . yeah I know – another video!
But it’s a really good one and it was either this or a rant about shoes. . .

This is a ‘bonus post’ because I reckon that just posting videos during NaBloPoMo does seem a bit like cheating (and so, apologies for yesterday).

Anyhow, I am currently reading The Man Called Cash by Steve Turner (that was given to me by Sara & Steve) and this morning I got to the part where it talks about making this video. As I had never seen it I decided to have a look on Youtube, and it is so wonderful and moving that I thought I’d share it here too.

Enjoy! f_musicalnote.gif
