Ah, that was marvellous! *beams* Thank you for sharing that. Talk about exhilarating! I'd applaud for 15 minutes if people sang /that/ in the local food court, let me tell you.

I'm going to have to pimp this on my LJ, though. Will totally credit you as the gankee, of course. (Apologies in advance to the small number of people who are on both our flists ♥)

Share the awesome, I say.

Is that Madeline Kahn in your icon? Until I learn differently I'm going to pretend it's Madeline Kahn.

Yes! That's Madeline as Lili Von Shtup, singing her heart out in Blazing Saddles ♥

Hooray! I need to see that movie again...all I remember is the farting scene and the 'shitload of dimes' line. (STILL makes me giggle.)

Some of it's dated (and there are a few cringifying bits), but mostly it's still pretty damn funny.

BTW the song Kahn sings is called "I'm Tired" and the whole thing is on YouTube.

BTW, my family and I were travelling in Scotland when that film came out. I remember that we went to the local cinema to see Blazing Saddles - only to find that I was considered far too young (by Scottish law) to be allowed in! So we went to see Paint Your Wagon instead. Go figure the logic that says polyandry was a more suitable subject for prepubescents :-)

Anyway, in a nutshell that's why Blazing Saddles and Clint Eastwood will always remind me of bonnie Scotland ♥
