He’s like Gandhi! But better – he likes puppets!

This summer I am going to work all the time.  Crush some debt, save some money, buy my camping gear…

Next summer (or year… or whenever) I need to go to Hawaii.  I am going to camp in the jungle, work on a coffee plantation and jam out Hawaiian versions of pop songs.  And yes, there will be giggling the whole time.

On the weekend, the TV showed the classic comedic cinema, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

I love this movie.  And after so many laughs, the credits rolled and some guy singing Hawaiian sang the Prince penned and famously made popular by Sinead O’Conner slow burner “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Amazing.  Or at least it was to Coral and I lounging on our couch.

Spinning As We Go

This TV Commercial is cute. It must come on a half dozen times while I am watching TV because the song is always stuck in my head.

The band or artist is Hello Gumption and the song is “Spinning As We Go” which I have the feeling was written for the commercial.  On iTunes, the man/men only have two songs and they are both TV commercial songs.  I always thought it might be a fun living to be a jingle writer, you know if I had any musical skills.  Reminds me of the guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall.  As someone that occasionally produces radio commercials, the music beds that we use are brutal.  I am sure it is more a budget thing, but man, if someone could make joyous contemporary beds for commercial use, I’d think you’d be able to find a market for it.

ha, after Hello Gumption playing on the iTunes, Hell Yeah sings “Alcohaulin’ Ass.”

Go with yourself.
