I am writing it here because this post is down the page a bit and i don't want him to see it :) A while ago, before Martin's (xbox4nappyrash) wife got pregnant I promised I would post a youtube video of me singing "Yes" by Mcalomont & Butler whilst accompanying myself on the ukulele to celebrate the birth of their child. This will not be a pretty sight as I can neither sing, nor really play the ukulele (this isn't false modesty - I really can't). However what I thought might make it really cool would be instead of just a straight video I put together a montage of videos shot by readers of his blog all celebrating - i.e. dancing, sticking thumbs up, cheering, holding up signs, that sort of thing. It would have to be something that would work without sound as I would put my (awful) soundtrack over the top of it. It would be great if you could participate. If you send me a short 5-15 second video clip (or at a push a photo, but a video would be much better) along with your name and blog then I'll put it together with other submissions and get something ready for the end of the week. I think it would be a really nice thing to do for martin to show him and E how pleased we are for him. and Martin has been incredibly supportive of me and my various projects in the past. Thanks for taking the time to read this. My email address is dghughes28@yahoo.co.uk Thanks again. Dan.

I LOVE it so much. Also, useless trivia: anytime you see an early Tim Burton trailer, you might hear the score from PWBA because clearly the studios have some deal where they can recycle the music from one burton picture to the next (same with Ed scissorhands--the music in the Big Fish trailer for a while was the boys choir from ESH.)

LOVE Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. None of it ever gets old for me. Now I'll have "Mr. Herman, paging Mr. Herman" in my head all day. I've never seen MFL, but Sound of Music is a staple in our house, now and when I was a kid. Never heard the cunt face thing, now that's all I will think of next time. "Favorite Things" and "Do, A Deer" are my favorite songs from the movie and so fun to have stuck in your head. Well, here I am delurking way late as usual. LOVE Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.

She has a timid, tiny singing voice. Perfectly lovely if you're into that sort of thing, but it's a far cry from belting. But there have been worse movie musical castings in history (*cough*MammaMia*PierceBrosnan*OhMyGodThePain*cough*). And Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady is practically the stereotype of non-singers in musical roles. Mel: We know from Sweeney Todd that HBC does not belt. She has a timid, tiny singing voice.

I love Tim Burton but I do get a bit tired of her in EVERY movie. Saw the preview for Alice yesterday. Looks suitably freaky. Jere: HBC would be great as Grizabella.
