The Red Army Choir, you say?

I do say. The name of the CD on which it appears is The Andrew Denton Breakfast Show - Musical Challenge. Also worth looking for is another of his CDs, Stairways To Heaven. Composed entirely of covers, in diverse styles, of "Stairway To Heaven".

Oh, and Rolf Harris doing an utterly filthy version of "I Touch Myself".

I can't imagine a clean one.

It's true, this one is fuller of leering innuendo than the original.

It is in fact an excellent version, the Red Army Choir can (could?) really sing. ND has heard it, though I don't know if he remembers it. It's on the same CD that has the operatic version of "Nutbush City Limits" and the Wiggles doing AC/DC. Oh, and Rolf Harris doing an utterly filthy version of "I Touch Myself".

Want want want!

I do have a Red Army Choir CD, with all the labelling in Chinese. The DH is afraid that it will be a problem next time I'm up for a security clearance review.

I'm going to start my day catching up with billytea's posts instead of reading the news. It's so much more pleasant.

If you get the chance to have a friend's wedding ( not the reception nessicarily, just the wedding) in you backyard, do it. The whole world apprriciates it. everyone is amazed and astonished. and they say nice things about your house and garden. and even nicer things about you .

Down Under was one of the songs played at the reception - sadly I had to defend it with my age. and White wedding. and lots of songs I didn't know. and Pump up the volume - which is not the most intelligent song ever written.

The bride wore red. The groom wore a blck suit with a manderin color that was beautifuly embroidered. His hair was died a red/ burgandy to match the wedding colors. The groom attendent his sister- - in burgandy. the bride's attenedent , her brother in a plain black version of the groom's suit. flower girls - burgandy - and they plonked the petals on the path - we just couln't convince them that to gently toss. ringbearsers - two little boys , one in a black suit the other in white - both with manderin collars with a little gold embroidery - were carrying red chinese take out boxes with the rings in them. They wer married by the bride's grandmother.

I've decided that my favorite traditon at weddings is the married people's dance. the groom's grandmother cried when she and her DH ended up last on the floor and the bride gave her the boquet.

The worst thing that happened at this wedding - I might have broken my big toe. Stoopid shoes. which are going in the garbage.

owwwwwwww

I hope it's not an actual break. Even if it isn't, shoes that hurt that much deserve to be tossed in the garbage.

Ouch! (This is why I always take my shoes off to dance at weddings. I have yet to meet a pair of heels my feet didn't hate.)

I had the equivalent of the "actor's nightmare" dream this morning -- I was throwing a cocktail party, and I forgot to make any food! People were arriving and saying things like "Ooh, I can't wait to see what Jess made this time!" and I was running out the door to buy chips and dip. It was very embarrassing. And of course, now I'm in the mood to plan a cocktail party.

Ow, beth. Big-toe~ma for fast healing, whatever it is.

Oh my word, Jess. You're having W's dreams.
