7:55 a.m. - April 21, 2007 Next week is going to be �rant week� at Smed�s Corner, so be be be prepared scouts. But before then, I thought I�d just post three videos to make everyone happy. Happy I said. The first one shows scenes from my home state, even though it�s by a funny-haired Brit. Anything positive for Indiana is a good thing. I�ve also been there, and stopped at a convenience store in Fairmont. What does the song mean, really, and what connection does it have to James Dean? That�s something to ponder this weekend. No need to thank me.
The last one is the one that I really wanted to show everyone this weekend, especially since I�m ranting next week. It�s a song that I think many of you all could cover in bands just because it�s so up and so, well, happy and easy sounding. Or their sons could cover in bands, you know, either ironically, or as a song to contribute to a soundtrack after their first three singles top the charts. It�s an OLD song, from 1965, by a bunch of Uruguayans that were definitely all about the Beatles, and they do a very credible job in imitating their heroes, as you see. The band is Los Shakers, and this is available on a few compilations running here and there around the world. You can�t HELP but bounce along to the song � and sing along. And if you want the lyrics, just so you can convince your band, or the karaoke operator, or your teenage son to cover it, well, here they are: We�ll want you to come If you�re getting tired If You�re alone
And I bet it�d be fun to dance to at a wedding. So, enjoy these three vids, all of y�all, because Monday, I start a rantin�. Heh.
