Kingsland, Arkansas: the birthplace of Johnny Cash. And to honor the musician, the city painted a silhouette of him holding a guitar on a water tower. Then a week ago some vandal/sharpshooter went and shot him right in the crotch so it appears Johnny is peeing. Peeing to the tune(!)
This is an edit of the final dance number from Dirty Dancing with ‘(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life’ replaced with The Muppet Show theme song. It works surprisingly well, and the music supervisor who chose to use ‘Time Of My Life’ instead is probably pinching themself right now

Each student arranged their own parts individually, then came together to combine them all into the piece you see here. Most impressive. For
This is a video of Danny Elfman performing at Coachella over the weekend, and covering The Simpsons theme he composed all the way back in 1989. That was 33 years ago. Danny looks great for 68 too — very sprightly. I only hope I have as much vim and vigor
