DVD Collectors Online

I bought another Louis de Funès box today:

Here's a clip I still find very funny.

Since it's French/German I'll explain the content shortly: The chef (Funès) explains to his German customer (Herr Müller) the recipe.

1kg Kartoffeln, 1L Milch, 3 Eier, 90g Butter, Salz und Muskatnuss. MUSKATNUSS, HERR MÜLLER! Haben Sie verstanden, Herr Müller?

1kg potatoes, 1L milk, 3 eggs, 90g butter, salt and nutmeg. NUTMEG, MR. MÜLLER! Do you understand, Mr. Müller?

(let's just say it isn't really about what is said )

While browsing YouTube to get some Glee fix, I encountered this clip from the current season (IMO spoiler-free). I really enjoyed this cover of "Smooth Criminal":

Wow, this is so much better than the original. 

erm... are you being serious? I can't quite tell... 

I'm no Michael Jackson fan, but the original is superb. And you know me, Glee is absolutely not my thing, however I like quite a few of their covers that come up on the radio or wherever, but this is beyond dreadful. 

The two guys playing the cello in this clip are from a real band called 2cellos. Here is their original video for "Smooth Criminal", on which the Glee scene is based on. Though I prefer it with the vocals.

Speaking of Cellos

Nope, no joking. See, no smilies this time, to avoid confusion.

No, seriously, I tried to watch the Jackson one to refresh my memory, but I didn't even make it through and ended up playing the Glee version again.

I have to ssay, I really enjoy this version of Imagine:

There is a really cute (deaf) girl in the second row, but sadly in this Youtube clip you can hardly recognize her because of the low quality.
This scene is from the first season (episode 11 I think).

I am not a fan of Lady Gaga, but I like the Glee version of Pokerface:

Now this is vocalization!!! Just listen when it reaches the one minute mark.

If you like the Boswell Sisters, what about Annette Hanshaw?
(Which gives me an excuse to promote Sita Sings the Blues again)

If you like Annette Hanshaw, you should listen to this...

Oh, thanks, that seems interesting. Bookmarked for later.
