1. :D

[MuseRider]

2. I don't know

if I should run from the room screaming or sit here while I wet myself just a little bit from laughing.

Not sure about this one..........my god.

On Edit: I ended up wheezing from laughter. Again, my god.

[cali]

8. Now I'm doubly laughing

[MuseRider]

10. I almost hate to admit this

but I watched it a couple of times. It really is funny after you get over the initial shock. My hunch is Bernie would laugh too, I hope.

The first time I saw him putting the cross on I was a little iffy and the scene when he zips his pants.....but the rest is just really funny.

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. I think that's Bernie's head pasted over that one dude

Is is John Travolta?

[MuseRider]

23. That is the one.

I hated that movie but then I hated disco so......but I did love the Bee Gees. Maybe not their disco but the did do that well.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

27. The BeeGees were around in the Sixties.

They had a successful pre-disco period with "I Started a Joke" and "Massachusetts" and several other hits. They were always great at harmony. And Andy Gibb, the younger brother, had a few hits as well.

They were part of the British Invasion.

[MuseRider]

32. That is when I first liked them.

I think the first song of theirs I heard was "I Started a Joke" around 1969. I loved them after that. They were a great group. I am pretty certain they are from Australia. You may have meant at the same time as the British Invasion? Whatever, that does not matter. I always liked groups that did harmony like they did (as a little child I was a huge fan of the 4 Seasons for that reason).

I remember Andy. Not a big fan of his but his story was sad. Heck I think only one of the brothers is still around? Can't remember, never really followed them.

As much as I disliked disco they actually made it tolerable for me. They never really lost themselves in the electronic and stayed pretty real.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

36. I thought they were Australian too.

Didn't know they were technically British until I looked it up on Wikipedia. They were living in Australia when they started making their hits, so I guess we'd call them Australian. Kind of like the guys in AC/DC moving around.

From Wikipedia: Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s, and formed the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in Queensland, Australia, and then to Cribb Island. After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the UK in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.

14. I am sure he would laugh. Bernie has a great sense of humor. nt

[LWolf]

21. My reaction, exactly, lol. nt

[Arazi]

3. LOL!!!!

Who made this? I want to know who to er, congratulate on this uhm, masterpiece?



Did you make it?

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. I don't know

Found it on youtube.

Yes it is a masterpiece.

[Autumn]

4. Those moves won me over.

[whatchamacallit]

6. Between the speedos and the crucifix

it's more disturbing than anything else.

[Vinca]

7. That is soooooooo funny.

[WillyT]

9. LOL !!!

[PonyUp]

11. Can we get a Hillary video using a Bee Gees song?

They can call it "How Deep Is Your Lie"

[Live and Learn]

13. Well there is this one:

[snooper2]

30. Hey, how come when I posted that video it got hidden LOL

39. Because it is silly season and Jurors all depend on who is active at the time.

Funny thing though, I have a lot of Bernie songs that I play while tableing and this one got included in the playlist by accident. One of the Bernie supporters was dancing and humming to it until it hit her that is was a Hillary song. Then she got mad and demanded to know why I was playing it.

I told her it was a parody but she wasn't buying it. If you listen to the song without the video it is kind of hard to tell unless you listen really hard.

It is kind of catchy. lol

[Live and Learn]

15. ROFL

[senz]

16. You know, I have this guy on a pedestal, and it seemed, well, a bit disrespectful

but, okay, you could tell it was well intended. I think. If Bernie doesn't mind -- and he is so sweet and kind and tolerant and gentle that he'd probably find it funny -- then I guess it's okay.

The shot of "him" in tight little black briefs from below was truly shocking.

Wonder what Jane would think?

[Live and Learn]

18. I bet Jane would be laughing too. nt

[senz]

19. Yeah, probably even more than Bernie.

[senz]

17. Okay, second time around ...

[MuseRider]

25. That was exactly what happened to me.

At first I thought it was very well done and funny but it felt disrespectful. Then I remembered all the stuff that is slung at him daily and THAT is what is really disrespectful. Then I remembered his little quips and little jokes and how he gets such a big kick out of them and so I watched it again and realized he would probably love it.

[senz]

34. I like your reasoning, Muse. Makes good sense. nt

[boston bean]

20. Sanders doing the hustle! LMAO!

[PonyUp]

22. Obama on the Bruce Lee poster and Hillary on the Farrah poster. LOL n/t

[SamKnause]

26. Why is his head so large ???

FEEL THE BERN

[democrank]

28. Lot of fire left in that dude.

Feel the Bern!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

29. Yes, I saw "Saturday Night Fever" when it came out.

I'm a classical musician but I enjoyed disco. There was enough interesting stuff going on in the accompaniment to hold my interest, especially in funk and soul which could get pretty complicated.

In other words, it wasn't THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD in 4/4.

I remember the opening shot of John Revolting's feet coming down the sidewalk. I think this is hilarious! And I think Bernie would be amused!

[MuseRider]

33. I did not know you were a classical musician!

Me too, don't know why I had not known that before. I don't talk much about it maybe you don't either but that is fun info to know!

[senz]

35. It's extremely cool that we have classical musicians on DU.

Enriches the place.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

37. Thanks!

Sometimes I post classical stuff or other things for people to listen to that I groove on.

I also am into 60s, and especially 70s and 80s rock, and jazz and fusion. Generally cannot stand any pop music after the late 80s, like grunge, unless it was made by people already famous before then, that I grew up with, can't stand hip hop or rap or country whiners. Record scratching and sampling is not music, in my opinion.

You play anything? What kind of music do you like?

Since CTYankee posts art for us to chew on, because she is an art expert, I consider myself one of the DU musical resources. I can put up a link to a cool piece of music that other people might not be aware of, because I've been obsessed with music my entire life. And they'll enjoy it. So that's good. People don't have to be afraid of classical music or opera.

[MuseRider]

38. I play the clarinet in our local orchestra.

I have been in it for about 45 years so probably nearing the end of it for me. It is a very good orchestra, we get paid and everything is professionally done and auditioned but certainly not like a big city orchestra although I think we are fairly comparable to some.

I love classical of course. Brahms, Richard Strauss and Prokofiev are probably my biggest favorites but there is such glorious music from the beginning of what we know until now. I do like playing those 3 especially because they loved my instrument and wrote great parts for it......I just remembered, how could I forget Mahler. Speaking of great parts!

I love Opera, that is something I had little appreciation for until by brother became heavily involved in it in Houston and he taught me more about it. Probably one of my biggest pleasures when just listening or watching or especially playing is Musical Theater, he also worked in that area as well.

As for the more popular music I grew up with the late 50's, 60's and 70's. I really stopped listening to radio stuff completely when disco hit. I love Doo Op, don't know why, it just strikes me as fun.

I am not fond of Rap although some of it is pretty good when there is music mixed in with a good message. Hip Hop I appreciate knowing quite a few artists who do that and rap through my sons. I don't get the scratching either but have come to feel I should let that go. Music is what music is to each of us I suppose but when I think of the thousands of hours I have spent in a practice room slaving over phrases it bothers me a bit. I am certain there is a skill to it that I am woefully unaware of. I love the various varieties of the music of Mexico. When depressed I listen to that or Celtic. I have borrowed a set of Northumbrian Small Pipes and I am going to attempt to learn them this summer.

Jazz, well I like it live I guess. My sons make their living playing it. I know many very famous jazz musicians from them because so many come through Kansas City. Bobby Watson was their teacher and he has brought so many musicians in and they have become very familiar with my sons. I did get to play with Dave Brubeck and his sons when they did a concert with our orchestra. THAT was an amazing thing to do.

So, do you play? *************sorry about the major thread jack here! If you feel inclined to continue you can PM me or we can start a conversation elsewhere.

[immoderate]

31. Just GREAT!
