That's Louis Hayes on drums and I think Gene Taylor on bass. And, yes, fantastic!

"A fascist is someone with an extreme political (usually right-wing) point of view who is determined to enact their beliefs through application of force"

You didn't look it up. Don't use words whose meanings you don't know. You'll look less foolish.

While we're on the subject of the specific meanings of words, "fascist" doesn't mean: "people who do stuff I strongly disagree with". Look it up.

Great post but one minor nitpick: her name's Natalia Paruz.

This is a great clip. It was great when I posted it [http://videosift.com/story.php?id=3588] a few weeks ago too!

But I thought it was funny _because_ it was poorly done with the cheesy sort-of-Austrian(!) accent, the mangled guitar playing, the sloppy lip synch. Carefully crafting something in order to make fun of Yngwie Malmsteen would be more pathetic than funny.

I posted this a week or so ago. It got negative votes and fell off the queue. I thought it was very funny. Maybe you'll have better luck.

If the color disappears then re-focus on the black dot in the black and white image. The color suddenly reappears when I do that. It's as though my brain filters out the afterimage unless it's perfectly aligned with the black and white one.

This isn't one of those gags where a monster face pops up. I swear.

I didn't find this funny either - just very interesting - but I trust that the bear wasn't seriously injured. I'd think a stack of mattresses or bags of styrofoam peanuts or maybe lots of cardboard boxes like stunt men use would have worked better. I wonder if they used the trampoline because it happened to be there. I'd be surprised if animal control drags a trampoline around with them on the off chance that they'd need to knock a bear out of a tree.

Wow. They're surprisingly graceful and expressive. Nice find.

...and I meant I recognized the voice, not the actor lip-syncing

maudlin - I thought I recognized the singer from "jan pehechaan ho". The dancing style is very similar too.

This is an excerpt from the 1943 movie "Stormy Weather". The music is by Cab Calloway's band.
