Naomi just pointed me to a fun and charming animated video of the song \"The Log Driver's Waltz<\/a>.\" Remember, a log driver's waltz pleases girls completely! (And the song introduced me to the word \"birling\"; for more info, see the Wikipedia entry for The Log Driver's Waltz<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

And from there, YouTube led me to a kids' puppet video of a song called \"Don't You Put It in Your Mouth<\/a>.\" Which isn't quite as much fun as Uncle Bonsai's song \"Don't Put It in Your Mouth<\/a>,\" but still fun, especially the earnest lion repeating the moral at the end. (And I gather that the puppet song was actually aimed at kids (though I think this video is a lightly edited version), whereas the Uncle Bonsai song is a bit more intentionally suggestive.)<\/p>\n

Added a bit later:<\/p>\n

A couple months ago, after j7y pointed me to it, I linked to a video of the Dr. Who<\/cite> opening credits<\/a> done in the style of new-series Battlestar Galactica<\/cite> opening credits. (Major spoilers for various seasons of Dr. Who<\/cite>; no spoilers for BSG<\/cite>.) I just noticed that there are a whole bunch of videos that mix and match the theme music, credit styles, and bits of video from a variety of different TV series.<\/p>\n

New-series BSG credits done in the style of (and with the theme music from) Lost in Space<\/cite>. Various mixes of various Star Trek<\/cite> shows with BSG. New-series BSG credits with original-series BSG music. Reworked Andromeda<\/cite> opening credits in the style of (and with the music of) new-series BSG. And so on. Some of the others are funny, but I keep noticing how well the Bear McCreary new-series-BSG theme music works with just about any well-done video.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the only one I'm gonna specifically link to here is Muppetstar Galactica<\/a> (no BSG spoilers at all). But from there, you can follow YouTube links to dozens of others.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
