Gloriously Weird. Play it to wake up your kids.

Dance to it.  Or not.  But listen to the whole thing and you will say "one abu wabu abu" to someone in the next day, I promise. 

There are things you just don't do.

Oh my,  is this weird fun.   Warnickian? Sure,  I'll give it that tag.   Omer Adam has a catchy tune and combines it with a strange eye-ball centered video that has--- you know what, just watch it for yourself. 

Here are the lyrics in rough translation. Enjoy!

-----------------------------------

Don’t eat before washing your hands

Don’t enter the Dead Sea after shaving your legs

Don’t peel a clementine in a room that has people in it

There are things we just don’t do, There are things we just don’t--

 

 

Don't take a shower without using water/mayim

Don’t forget Yerushalayim!

Don't pass up an optometrist before buying glasses

There are things we just don’t do, There are things we just don’t-

I wanted something fitting

Perfect for my face

something beautiful

that emphasizes the eyes

So I bought glasses to see (things) more rosy

I saw with my eyes what makes us dance

Let's look at life in the distance

Because in this life there are things that we Don’t

With an optometrist

Here in Middle East

You will see six six [meters- like 20/20]

At the end you will see the road

I bought glasses

This is not such a project

Too bad on the eyes

So give them respect

There is water... at the bottom of the ocean!

A great performance of one of the greatest songs of the 80's.  You may ask yourself, am I right, am I wrong?  You'd be asking about the song "Once in a Lifetime," by the Talking Heads.  This is a version from one of the most amazing films ever made, and certainly one of the greatest of concert films, "Stop Making Sense,"  which should be watched on a big screen with great sound behind it.   Between the brilliance of the Heads and Jonathan Demme capturing so much of the power of that concert, it really is a superb film, front to back.  Heck,  even Pauline Kael and Robert Christgau liked it, and they made their reputations on despising almost anything normal people liked!   For now,  sing along like nobody is listening.  You can even do that hand chopping thing as David Byrne does it. 

Back with Rock and Roll.... from an amazing guy?

Nine years without an update.  What could be powerful enough to get a post now?
How about some fine Rock and Roll,  imported from the Middle East?  Guy Mazig has the chops to make things rock even if your Hebrew is not at Israeli-level fluency.  "Kamah Ani Ohev Otah" is his new single- "Just how much I love you" is the translation of the title and chorus,  and the video is sure to sit well with lovers of bold color and anime.   Turn the speakers up and  boogie!
