Very cool one-take video (and there’s even an insurance connection!)

My favorite comments:

  • Detailed planning, grammar, a capella, and physical violence. This video has it all.

  • As a pedant, grammarian, and someone truly fatigued of holiday music, this is the only Christmas song I’m allowing this year.

If you like jazz & Christmas music, and, evenmoreso, jazz-Christmas music, you might enjoy this one:

In particular, I really enjoyed “11. Deck The Hall With Boughs Of Holly- 45:06”

More Christmas music…

I’ve recently come across a “band” called “Tuba Skinny” - Traditional Jazz, Blues, & Ragtime; based in New Orleans.

Here’s one where the cornet player, Shaye Cohn, also plays the piano.

Three clarinetists:

Hank with a 25 minute explanation of a problem with monetization on TikTok that explains how the world of independent social media exists. This was very educational for me as I am not a social media creator.

I just watched that! It was very interesting.

Beethoven - Fur Elise Nightmare (INSANE Remix) - YouTube

Someone posted this on the AO.
Tonight, as I was searching for something on the YT app on my TV it popped up there, so I watched it again.

As I recall, back in the AO days , I was able to find the lyrics somewhere else on the internet. I’ll see if I can find them again…but probably not…I’m not that motivated.

this one was funny

It’s very a “casual” “performance”, but, oh, so satisfying to the ear.

lyrics

Flower Duet

Sous le dôme épais
Où le blanc jasmin
À la rose s’assemble
Sur la rive en fleurs,
Riant au matin
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons de son flot charmant
Suivons le courant fuyant
Dans l’onde frémissante
D’une main nonchalante
Viens, gagnons le bord,
Où la source dort et
L’oiseau, l’oiseau chante.
Sous le dôme épais
Où le blanc jasmin,
Ah!
Descendons
Ensemble!
Sous le dôme épais
Où le blanc jasmin
À la rose s’assemble
Sur la rive en fleurs,
Riant au matin
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons de son flot charmant
Suivons le courant fuyant
Dans l’onde frémissante
D’une main nonchalante
Viens, gagnons le bord,
Où la source dort et
L’oiseau, l’oiseau chante.
Sous le dôme épais
Où le blanc jasmin,
Ah!
Descendons
Ensemble!

Wikipedia has the lyrics, too, with English translation: Flower Duet - Wikipedia

After immensely enjoying this recommendation from the algorithm, I am seriously reconsidering my disdain for YouTube:
