I saw this first on the Presurfer.... it's elsewhere too. But in the spirit of my gritty gears, I thought you might like to see Laurel and Hardy and some dancing girls with a snappy tune sung by an Azerbaijani pop princess.
The song? Ohh, the Andrews Sisters did it way back, but this is more fun.
"Bei Mir Bist Du Scheen", sung by Ilhana, got to number one in the Azerbaijani charts. Where else but here could you listen to an Azerbaijani number one AND watch Laurel and Hardy (and a chorus line, whew!), dance?
Scheen!
I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.
Ummm .... I hate to point out that the emperor's wearing no clothes .... but your princess appears to have left the premises ....

ReplyDeleteSurely you're not objecting to a bunch of nubile dancing dollies?
DeleteOh my.
Well, I see you had a birthday, and it worries me. In a couple of years time will I cease looking at the ladies? Take no pleasure at their plumage?
Oh my.
best smile of the day so far. Wunderbar!
