From the album "Bacharach Meet the Beatles" this is DAY TRIPPER arranged by TSUTSUMI Kyohei. Note Engerris title.
The YouTube copy says:
TSUTSUMI Kyohei is Japanese composer who write a lot of hit song.This track is from his album "Bacharach Meet the Beatles" in 1971.He arranged Beatles' music in Bachrach's style."Day Tripper" is one of them. Its very "Bond Street" flavor. Funny and fine.
It is indeed both funny and fine. Does anyone else feel like a vodka Martini right about now?
True wit is nature to advantage dressed,
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed,
Something, whose truth convinced at sight we find,
That gives us back the notion of the mind.
( Alexander Pope, "An Essay On Criticism" [1711] part 2, lines 297-300)
And wasn't it Shaw (it was always Shaw, Wilde, or Dorothy Parker) who said that the difference between nonfiction and novels was that anyone could read their own biography and think "ah, my secret is safe" while Anna Karenina would read Anna Karenina and burst out crying, "How did he know? How did he know?"
Not that this has anything to do with the video which follows, a version of Sleepless in Seattle recut as a horror movie, and not that I have recognized anything, ever. So stop looking at me like that.
And I'm not defensive, either.
Stolen heartlessly from the Ireneo's Memory blog.
From Defamer comes this ghastly photo and report. Sacha Baron Cohen's endearingly clueless Eastern European avatar Borat has been mistaken for the even-less-decorative-and-more-highly-scented Jean Reno.
we'll never live down the one where we recently misidentified Dakota Fanning as "Bruce Willis' favorite dominatrix"–whoops!
For those who pay attention to such things, the Hollywood Reporter has taken the original pic down. Awwwwwwww. This is why mirror sites and renegade bloggers exist, people: so that you may enjoy an unimpaired view of Borat's furry treasure trail, free from mainstreaming corporate namby-pambyism.
From Gothamist:
Manhattan-what? Here, let's let the director of the Hayden Planetarium explain:
"Next Sunday and on July 13, the sun will fully illuminate every Manhattan cross street (not the curved or angled ones) on the street grid during the last 15 minutes of daylight, and it will set on each street's center line. The sight is breathtaking."
You know, of course, what the longterm effect will be? Centuries from now, puzzled archaeologists will conclude that ancient Manhattanites worshipped the sun; devotion was displayed in the common "Mystic" tans, and the city was laid out on a celestial grid. The festival known as "May Two-Four-Plus-Four" was the holiest of days.
Of course.
The Trojan nuclear reactor cooling tower on the Hood River in Oregon goes down. Just like it was aspozed to.
No Muslims were harmed during the making of this video.
Just a note; isn't it odd that the screaming doesn't start until they hear the big BOOM, several seconds after they see the explosion? I wonder what that means…
