Don't mind me as I hum "The Can-Can."

Anyone else have any random silly songs they hum sometimes?

And speaking of "The Can-Can," here's a silly little video I found on You Tube of two goofballs doing a routine to a Rednex song that samples "The Can-Can." Hehehe

I wish you could "hear" me singing it. LOL If you heard it, you'd know what I was talking about. Everyone knows the tune; just lots of people don't know the name of it. Picture a row of ladies on a stage with colorful skirts all dancing around and kicking their legs up while swirling their skirts around...

Anyway...I'm just trying to create a diversion. ;)

I saw Rihanna on the MTV Movie Awards last night so I've been walking around all day singing "Umbrella". I can't stop!

There's a commercial on TV lately with an adorable puppy (kid's voice) singing "There ain't no bugs on me. There may be bugs on some of you mugs, but there ain't no bugs on me."

Gets stuck in my head every time it comes on because it's so catchy and the puppy is too cute for me to change the channel. Ah, I guess advertisers must love me.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

For some reason when I first read this I was thinking of the Mexican Hat Dance. Oops. :)

The Can Can ? Must always give credit to the original composer of the music. What most people know as the 'can can' is the Overture to "Orpheus in the Underworld" by Jacques Offenbach (composed 1858)

(fast forward to 6:40 to listen to the 'can can')
