I was going to do the WIP meme to lay to rest a story I have recently decided to abandon, but the thousands (maybe, 3000?) of words I wrote are so damn lifeless I couldn't find a snippet I liked. Which probably means it was a good idea to abandon the story. Anyway more on that later.
Instead, for today's post, have some videos. Someone on Fandom Secrets was talking about an anime or a manga called Shaft? So of course I had to find the actual theme from Shaft, and got this video, which has Jesse Jackson in it for some reason:
One would think he had better things to do in the 70s than be a hype man for Isaac Hayes, but then maybe in 1973 there was nothing better to do than be a hype man for Isaac Hayes. I love how you can hear him shouting "yeah! yeah!", on the beat, every once in a while, like he's a sample, only live. Someone actually should sample that.
Meanwhile here's something I still love, "Teenage Dream" from Glee. I mean, anyone who thinks Chris Colfer doesn't deserve the accolades should watch him in this scene, where he's not doing much of anything other than reacting and standing there both grinning like a goofball and then looking around to see if anyone is noticing that he's grinning like a goofball, and you can feel his delight in having some cute boy basically serenading him. It's lovely.
