Prisecolinensinenciousol - Adriano Celentano

 
Prisecolinensinenciousol, a Parody by Italian Comedian Adriano Celentano for Mileluci on Italian TV.   He made up this gibberish and dance to make fun of what English sounds like to Italians.  Hilarious!  You can almost "hear" English words that aren't there.

And the DANCE NUMBER!  Imitating Americans doing a GROOVY Dance Number,
You will share it with your friends after you see it.  I especially love the angular bodies and head tosses and struts/mirrors, the harmonica, all the visual gags making fun of Americans of the era.  Just like the Romans thought that all non-Latin speakers sounded like baahing sheep, therefore the word Bar-Bar-ians meaning uncouth, these modern Italians have quite a funny fake Elvis sounding version of AmEnglish.  By the way, the Japanese think Americans sound like barking dogs!  And their term gaijin translates roughly to "round eyed bastards".  Hahaha!  I love finding out this stuff.

If you have never gone on YouTube and searched for videos of non English practicing their English speaking and accents, it's HILARIOUS.  Check it out.  That's how I found this video.

Cha Cha Heels - Die For Art - DIVINE

 
Cha Cha Heels for Christmas starring DIVINE
Excerpt from John Waters movie where character of Dawn Davenport ruins Christmas morning for her parents.  You'll want to play it again and again.  Especially poignant is the mother at the end plaintively crying "not on Christmas! not on Christmas!"
NSFW!!!
One of the most neurotic scenes of all time.  You'll want to memorize the dialogue.
Speaking of Divine, here are a few more scenes from her John Waters movies that are especially Weird:
 
Who Wants To Be Famous? Who Wants To Die for Art!

 
I Wish You Was Gay - Queers is Just Better!
Edith Massey God Bless Her! in that all time classic scene where she tries to get her grandson to go gay so she won't worry about him and girls.

How to Dance When You're High On Life
Okay, I know over a million have already seen this incredibly happy video, but just in case you have not, check it out!  It's Fun!  These guys are having so much fun you just want to dance with them!  They have a channel on youtube and also are on FB as SundayFundayz and Twitter same name.  They are dancing to bhangra music, that catchy music from Bollywood in India, and you can see they have practiced the Indian dance moves to perfection, complete with knowing the words and facial expressions.

TWO LOVERS Gorgeous Sitar Music

 
From the Ali Akbar Khan album Garden of Dreams
TWO LOVERS
A beautiful sitar music piece, my favorite for evocative emotion, very elegaic and poignant.
I believe Ali Akbar may be the son of Ravi Shankar.

If you've never heard this piece you are in for a treat!  Starts slow, but let it build, and remember it takes over thirty years to learn how to play the sitar like this.

MAY HE POOP ON MY KNEE?

May He Poop On My Knee?  A hilarious "fake translation" of a Benny Lava hindi music video by BugBen, subtitling in English what the hindi words "sound like" instead of the actual translation.  The Bollywood song/video kicks ass too!  HILARIOUS!  GROOVY!
I especially enjoy the mustard bottle, cracks me up every time, and the coke can.
NSFW (not suitable for work).

By the way, the star is Miss India who won Miss Universe, she must be one of the most beautiful women in the world.  Her original video is on YouTube also.

WIGGLES - THE FINGER! Super Fun!

THE WIGGLES - FINGER POINTING PUPPET SHOW!  YAAAAAYYY!!!

This is one of the strangest videos ever, therefore falls squarely into our GROOVY category of FUN videos.  VROUK Approved!
Both YOU and YOUR KIDS can dance yourself Silly to this Video!

The Ardwellian Chronicles - Dennis Young

I'd like to draw attention to an exciting series of fantasy novels called 
"The Ardwellian Chronicles" by author Dennis Young.
You can check out his blog via the above link.
Besides the stories being gripping, fascinating page turners set in a rich and vast fantasy universe, peopled with gritty, real, totally believable characters, it's fun that you can follow Dennis progress as he continues to write the ongoing novels in the series.

By "Liking" his FaceBook page: (click link)

Also, follow him on TWITTER.COM  
@ArdwelWriter
 I highly recommend you order his books from Amazon or ask for them at your local book store.   Dennis is also very accessible and provides many ways to contact him through his web sites.  

It's really cool to follow the creative process and get a peek into how a successful author spends their time, the nuts and bolts of writing.  I used to read "how to" books for being a "writer" but they never spelled out what an author actually did hour for hour day for day.  Now, you can finally follow that process through Dennis.
VROUK Approved.
