Dancing American Soldiers do "Call me Maybe"

There are so many of these syncs/mixes/whatever, but I love dancing soldiers so up it goes

 



This is probably my last post on this blog - most likely gonna switch to Tumblr. Anyone who reads my crap, see you over there - maybe :)

Ubiquitous Gotye

Two guys try to be cool about not wanting to listen to this song that is everywhere, but can't help themselves


While we're at it, a beautiful, skillfully played acoustic cover of the same song (there are literally thousands of these online, but this one is especially lovely IMO)


Two vids is enough - I'm cutting myself off  :)

Happy Independence Day!

A sweet mashup of some of America's finest "singing" the National Anthem


I really came here today, though, to post this awesome vid of my nieces KICKING ASS at drum major camp last week - out of over 400 participants, they are the last two standing! Make sure you watch all the way to the end - so proud :)

It hurts to let go

The musical artist Gotye is best known for the lovely (but way overplayed on the radio) song "Somebody That I Used to Know." Lately, however, another song of his called "Bronte" has caught my attention. The video depicts a herd of odd looking bison-like animals watching a little girl grow up and eventually leave them, which is tearjerking in itself, but I read later that the song was written about an old family dog that had to be euthanized. The tender, simple lyrics are beautifully sung by him, and you'd better get a kleenex before you click play



Hug your companion animal(s) today, and if you don't have one, adopt one!
