The hills are alive...
I'm contemplating switching from my current Adama/Roslin mood theme to the Sound of Music one here, but I think that every time I post, or reply to something on one of my entries, or see one on my flist, I'll probably start singing "The Lonely Goatherd" to myself, and I don't think I could handle that. I believe I shall have to make my own mood theme...Northern Exposure-related, most likely.
On the same theme, if you go to YouTube and type in "The Sound of Music," you get this. Eeek. Also, there are fanvids for the movie. I...okay, I love fanvids, but it's a freaking musical. And somehow footage from the movie set to...I think one of them was a Nickelback song, or something that sounded a lot like their usual dreck...is just...I...ow.
However, there is at least the Monsterpiece Theatre version, which is pretty hilarious. As well, there are clips from the 1956 German film, Die Trapp-Familie, which are very cool to see.
(Also, completely randomly but for the fact that it appeared in one of the "related videos" fields for the Ländler [which I would love to learn], here are two people demonstrating the Schottisch, which I'd always wondered how to do. Now I know. It's nifty! As well, there is also the Galop--which looks like the child of Quickstep and Polka-- and the Mazurka. There's a passel of vintage dances here. [I recommend the Amalgamated Manifest Destiny Quadrille.] Hmmm...I would love to find somewhere to do that where I live. I must investigate. Not only are the dances pretty awesome--I love me some quadrilles--but the dresses...well, you all know my adoration of hoop skirts, so no explanation should be necessary.)
ETA: Also, this. Bwahahahaha!
