a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

It's Wednesday.  Here's a couple things to smile about:

 

Mumford & Sons' "Hopeless Wanderer" video.  If you don't know who Mumford & Sons are, well… let's say they're a popular folk band.  Mandolins are involved.   They look like they sound: classy hobos.  If you didn't know it, for the first 1:00 you'd think you're watching the boys of the band playing music in a field.  

Things start to get ridiculous shortly after the minute mark, when you see them walking down a dirt road carrying way too many instruments and pushing a piano.  

And hey, Ed Helms and Jason Bateman.  Wait… They aren't Mumford or son…

 

hopeless wanderer

mumford? son? no.

 

And isn't that my comedic boyfriend, Jason Sudeikis?

 

jason sudeikis

yes, he must mustache you a question

 

And don't forget about Will Forte.

will forte

he's not goat boy

 

Parental warning: there is sexy banjo.

jason bateman

oh yeah

 

The fury of Ed.

destroying instruments

not the mando!

 

Lost on references?  Imagine Chevy Chase made a Paul Simon video.  Oh… Yeah.  

Priceless.

Jimmy Fallon, curator of musical gems from his guests, joined the Roots and Robin Thicke for this winner:

 

Things I love about this video:

  1. Robin Thicke's outfit
  2. how thoroughly everyone seems to be enjoying their roles
  3. kazoo
  4. shaky banana (we have one)
  5. precise xylophone playing
  6. Questlove's Carlton dance at 3:10
  7. Jimmy Fallon
  8. spoons
  9. UKULELE
  10. everything

Have a great week.

    Mumford and Sons – yeah, I like them. They’re the band that sounds a lot like Broken Spoke, I believe.

    BS looks like them, too. Scruffy, classy hobos. BUT NO BANJO!

    I love that you posted this video! I hadn’t watched it yet, but as a huge fan of SNL, Arrested Dev, and Mumford that made my day. And I just posted the Fallon video on my facebook the other day. I love when he “remakes” songs with the roots.

    You’re welcome! I was realizing last night how many of the guys (and ladies) of SNL I have loved over the years. And Mumford? I rock them constantly.
    Oh, Jimmy. I love him, also. And Questlove. Big Questlove fan.
