You believe Kusturica invented gypsy jazz?

Fun.   We were taught the Stephen Foster songbook in 2nd grade.  Amazing how you never forget it.  Wonder how many kids today know who Stephen Foster was?

The lyrics make NO sense to me, but I'm so busy dancing that I don't even care.... {#Bananasplit}
Met the ghost of stephen foster at the hotel paradise
This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes:
Rooms were made for carpets,
Towers made for spires,
Ships were made for cannonade fire off from inside them

(Chorus):
Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day no, no, no
(Back to chorus)

Met the ghost of stephen foster at the hotel paradise
This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes:
Ships were made for sinking,
Whiskey made for drinking,
If we were made of cellophane, we'd all get stinking drunk quite faster ha, ha, ha

(Chorus):
Gwine to run all night
Gwine to run all day
Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day no, no, no
(Back to chorus)

Oh, I am SO there!  "Frenzy" is the perfect word to describe this. I'm having so much fun imagining your choreography and costumes that I'm almost convinced this WOULD make a wonderfully-silly stage production. Thanks, Rotterdam. The wheels are turning in my head...{#Bananasplit}

While I can agree that this is in the same general spirit of Istanbull, I cannot at all agree that its similar in any other aspect.

Squirrel Nut Zippers only mildly interested me... until I heard their stuff that WASN'T played on corporate radio.  So much talent here that never even made it to mainstream ears.  Love it.
