It’s nearly impossible to be depressed with this playing:

This version is so popular that it, in turn, has inspired many parodies. The best is this one by The Key of Awesome. I think it might even be my favorite of the three. Love the Tito Puente line!

My sister and I went to see the 1943 technicolor extravaganza The Gang’s All Here. Billed (by the local theater) as a “gay hairdresser’s acid trip” the film did not disappoint. The disembodied heads at the end, though, were a bit much.

The highlight was, of course, Carmen Miranda. They just don’t make big musical numbers in which showgirls dance with oversized fruit anymore. More’s the pity.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
