[mcctatas]

1. One of my favorites...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcYSnZRiOCA

and BTW, :hi: stranger....

[Wetzelbill]

2. That's a good one!

Good to see you! :) So how are you doing? :hug:

[mcctatas]

22. I'm good, busy and manic...

but good. How are you?

[Wetzelbill]

27. not bad

Sort of waiting around on a job offer I got. Not much to do right now, but sweat over the election, lol.

[mcctatas]

28. I hope the job works out....

Palin has induced a weird strain of Tourette's in me which results in my saying the dreaded "C" word every time she appears on my TV. Thank God things are looking good for Obama/Biden or I might end up housed at my place of employment;)

[Wetzelbill]

30. lol

That's funny. Yeah I don't quite go that far, I just think a few choice bad words. :)

I'm looking forward to it, I was offered the job basically, I just have to wait until the position opens up and go through official channels. I got a backup job planned out too, my uncle just started a security business and he wants to train me as his assistant. We'd do business internationally etc, so my fall back plan is more lucrative than the other, lol. Potentially anyway. Still I would rather be a humble public servant.

11. Too strange....

I clicked on yours, mctatas, just to open youtube so I could search for mine:

What could that mean??

[mcctatas]

20. We were separated at birth?

[SacredCow]

3. One of my favorites...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i-0FB68LoQ

Not very well received, but I thought it was simple and effective.

[stuntcat]

44. it's one of my favorite songs ever

Their version of it, I love that song.

[Bossy Monkey]

4. Stevie Wonder, "We Can Work It Out"

It is in fact on YouTube, but peculiarly, only with a still photo of the cd jewelbox. (Twice. I didn't notice if it was done by the same person twice or if two diferent people did the same strange strange thing, which would be perhaps even stranger.)

[Sequoia]

5. I would but it isn't on the web.

It is: "Pastures of Plenty" by Odette. Most beautiful !!!

[Forkboy]

6. The Residents doing Teddy Bear.

Be warned, this ain't your father's version. :rofl:

7. "Walk This Way", bluegrass style.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muyqMrsuLXw&feature=related

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. This one...better than the original-even the original band says so.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9dbmJ_2zU

[Wetzelbill]

10. Yeah but it's Johnny Cash, that kind of doesn't count

Johnny's better than everybody. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. I am glad that people are finally starting to see that.

MrG and I used to get teased unmercifully for being fans. It's funny how many people have found him now. :)

[Wetzelbill]

17. I'm a hick from Montana

I've loved Johnny since as far back as I can remember. My parents too. :)

[Danger Mouse]

24. I like the original better because I relate to it more.

Probably my favorite music video ever.

The original is by Tears for Fears. In my mind there is no comparison.

:thumbsup:

[Danger Mouse]

32. Glad you agree.

Seriously, the first time I saw the video/heard the song, I fell in love with it. The beautiful image of the children contrasts so well with the incredibly depressing subject matter.
