Nice...I've never heard of a jitterbug concrete tool. I've just used the float to bring up the 'cream' when I poured.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video "Jitterbug" from Mulholland Drive (David Lynch). Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

For myself, I have the same disconnect in my brain for writing as I do basic art. What I mean is when I try and draw something, I can never get my mind and body to get it to come out like I want it...it feels like there is some kind of block in my brain. The same goes for writing. The ability to express the mood, context, and events in words on paper feels completely unnatural...and as a result all writing has that constant albatross; this looming doubt in the back of my mind plaguing any new attempts with doubt and uncertainty. Moreover, it has that has always been the case. For as long as I can remember, language and art have always felt very forgiven in my brain...like a man from a planet where they only have one leg learning the jitterbug.

I really do think it is a product of brain ability and formation. There does seem to be a tenancy for people who are analytic and scientific (and I use those loosely) to have large problems in the area of language and creativity (and I use those loosely). If you have ever seen an engineer craft a user interface...it becomes readily obvious. For some, there might be an certain level of elitism in language to "test" those whom are reading, but I would say on the whole most people are just unable to transcend their own inadequacy of the grasp of using language "properly". (I have misspelled language every time it was used in these short couple of paragraphs, I actually fear writing to a certain extent because of my inability to spell)

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...


Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.


Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice...
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.


In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.


One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.


Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet she hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.

(conga solo)

Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't!


She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.


Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.


Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

completely forgot two that have to get mentioned:

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead - Tom Stoppard
Jitterbug Perfume - Tom Robbins

Wham - Jitterbug

Ironically, the Jitterbug which is a "pure" cellphone is by design larger than most commercial cellphones.

www.Jitterbug.com Just a phone, nothing more. For the old folks, you know.

YouTube commentary:

This is "behind the camera" footage of the Jitterbug scene that went lost after being cut from the film.
The film originally contained an elaborate production number called "The Jitter Bug", which cost $80,000 and took five weeks to shoot. In the scene, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly lion, and the Tin Woodsman are on their way to the Witch's castle when they are attacked by "jitter bugs" - furry pink and blue mosquito-like "rascals" that give one "the jitters" as they buzz about in the air. When, after its first preview, the movie was judged too long, MGM officials decided to sacrifice the "Jitter Bug" scene. They reasoned that it added little to the plot and, because a dance by the same name had just become popular, they feared it might date the picture. The Witch still refers to the bug in the final film, just before telling the Monkeys to "Fly!" Only home movies of the filming of "The Jitterbug" survive, though the song is on current versions of both the soundtrack CD and the recent anniversary edition videotape. The sequence was also incorporated into a recent stage version of the musical.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

That was really good. You can't help smiling at something like this. Though I think the early years kind of got short shrift. What about The Monkey, The Swim, jitterbug, etc.
