Video Sunday: Pudding Not Included

That’s pretty good.  But had it not come to my attention then I certainly would have begun today with this next video. 

And if THAT hadn’t been the first thing posted today, then I probably would have gone with the skateboarding dog. 

Now Dan Yaccarino does one thing in this book trailer for his latest creation that pleases me quite a lot.  The meticulous use of a record scratch sound.  I’m a sucker for a record scratch in a trailer of any kind.  Can’t explain it.  It just amuses me.

VHS never really inspired the love that records (a similarly outdated technology) have in the public’s hearts and minds.  They were convenient, but bulky.  My library actually still circulates both VHS and records and they continue to go out, thank you very much.  But for the most part, the DVD has toppled the VHS from the throne and we ain’t never going back.  Folks at the Tea Tree Gully library system of Australia let their VHS tapes go out with a bang.

And since we’re already doing some library-related nuttiness, this should fit right in.  There was a fashion show of recycled materials held at at 701 Whaley on Whaley Street in Columbia.  Some of the fashions are fantastic here.  Now at 3:07 you’re going to see a dress made entirely out of recycled library cards the library was getting rid of.  Love that.  I’d wear that dress every darn day, if I could.

There was no question of what the off-topic video of the day would be.  When my buddy Don Citarella posted this on Facebook, I was instantly in love.  This is a video of Italian artist Adriano Celentano writing an English-sounding gibberish song.  The second time you see it, it’s actually better if you don’t read the subtitles someone added to try to make sense of it.
