Get Happy!
Thanks to my uncle, who wore oversize glasses and wingtip creepers and bought me my first punk and new wave LPs in the early 80s, I bonded with Elvis Costello at an early age. And thanks to YouTube, as always, because last night I came across this rare video of the sped up Sam and Dave cover "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down", which I would now like to share with you. Best dance moves ever. And they don't even need treadmills like kids today.
I love a sad song that totally tricks you into thinking it's not sad! You're like, Hey, this is a sad song! Why am I so happy?! Why am I dancing like this?! And then you're like, Sshh, don't question it. Keep going, keep going, keep going.
