^^ (Edit in: aha, that's where your username comes from!)

Never heard these guys before. My laptop speakers just don't cut it, no decent equalizer. Had to look for the lyrics. Strangely mellow - is that a banjo? With marimbas? It works. How can it work?

And why on earth did it bring *this* to mind?



and this, even more. Which I can't believe I even remembered accurately, let alone found online.



Thank you. I'm going to be having some eclectic earworms for awhile.

..." Walk, Don't Run " ~ The Ventures ~ I'm not too sure that it isn't the " Walk, Don't Run '64 " version, actually. :?

...Did you get the '59?? original or the '64 remake?
Was it " Slaughter " put on by a ballet company, as part of a ballet program?
It was first written as a dance sequence in a musical.

Hi, ASS-P. I bookmarked it. Here it is:


I saw Slaughter at a ballet performance. It's been so long ago I can't remember where, or which company did it. Maybe the American Ballet Company. It was amazing, that I remember.

I like the '59 version of "Walk, don't run," by the Ventures.

How about "Tequila," by the Champs?
