[dead video links] Some of the most interesting (a word which can be read in MANY ways) things I come across are during preparation for each day's program. Today is no exception. While searching for some new tidbit about the Barcarolle from Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann, I came upon a performance that stopped me in my tracks. Then there was the Opera Babes duet that had the Public Radio music programmers in the audience wondering if intermission would include Jello wrestling. I've heard dogs sing Jingle Bells, chickens cluck the 1812 Overture, and heard a beat track put under the music of Hildegard von Bingen, (see below) but this? Well, I guess if a song about skate keys can hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, then anything is possible. It makes the Opera Babes (also below) seem almost normal. -- Boyce Lancaster [youtube AGUzMQtPerg] [youtube 25tLvoXq48E] [youtube gfpwl_hujsg&feature=related] [youtube _40BSI4cL3Y]
