Movie "Happy Feet" Opens

"Happy Feet" Trailers & Clips

Do you like singing? Dancing? Really Good Animation? Penguins? Elijah Wood? (you won't recognize him, however), Robin Williams? (recognizable even in peguin guise; BTW, he's as good here as he was in "Aladdin" it appears, sings pretty good, too), the great tap-dancer Savion Glover?

I haven't seen this movie yet, but plan to. The clips are great (see above link), and hearing Stevie Wonder sing through THX in a movie theater would be a happy thing in itself.

YouTube - Mario Bros 11 String Bass Song

Sent to me by my bass-playing son... A really big electric bass performed here. (And, always love that Mario.)

No, it's not one of my T-shirts.

Curious concept, this musical shirt.

Makes playing the guitar entirely too easy, though... No fair?

Check out the link in the article for much more and to see/hear the video of this wearable musical instrument in performance.

Let everybody waltz now!

1-2-3, 1-2-3...

Time to crank up the Strauss? "Blue Danube", anyone?

Of course dancing is great exercise, certainly more fun than a treadmill...
