Star Wars Trumpet. I was having a pretty crappy day until I saw this. There is no better cure for the blues than Star Wars Trumpet Dance Routine!
  • I hate you.
  • Why? Because I have given you the greatest pleasure you will ever know?
  • Holy hell in a handbasket!
  • BRAVA! BRAVA! ENCORE!!! (playing on key is SO over-rated anyway...)
  • Thank you so much for posting this.
  • Wow, and it actually has a funny YouTube comment: The only thing missing here is some drunk Rotary Club member in the audience yelling "Take it off!" That pretty much summed up the whole vibe for me.
  • Bit of a sewed-all-the-sequins-on-herself moment there.
  • Tar Wars Strumpet
  • Did she win?
  • DUCK STACY THEY'RE SHOOTING LASER GUNS AT YOU!!
  • Damn. I laughed. I howled. I felt terrible for the girl. Then I laughed again. And then I saw people outside my office, staring at me. I've lost the respect of two employees. Thanks, MoFi.
  • Well, that was certainly awful. The addition of the C3PO noises midway through did it for me. Some people have an immense tolerance for ridicule.
  • Tsk -- R2D2 noises, Gramma! *rolls eyes* What was with the Chaplin walk? Did she forget it was supposed to be Star Wars?
  • Tsk, Koko... that was her CP30 impression. How could you miss it? : )
  • I know it's the wrong sci-fi franchise but... EX TER MIN ATE! EX TER MIN ATE! EX TER MIN ATE!
  • R2CDooMePee30... Whatever! You young whippersnappers and your silly movies. In my day, all we had was a radio and Martians making war on the world and incinerating hapless onlookers with their "Heat-Rays. AND WE LIKED IT!!
  • Poise! Poise!
  • She's playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.
  • Holy Crap. This sounds almost exactly like my concert band in middle school. How horrifying.
  • When I was just a small child, I saw that episode of "Leave It to Beaver" where Beaver and Whitey spend the night trapped inside a giant steaming coffee cup on a fancy billboard. Perhaps because I empathized with the Beav, instead of laughing along with my sisters I felt this intense feeling of horror and shame. The strong emotion must've somehow imprinted itself on my brain, because to this day there are things other people find funny that just make me want to curl into a fetal position and rock back and forth for hours. I made it about 35 seconds into this clip before I had to turn it off. (It probably doesn't help matters any that I'm a trumpeter.)
  • OUTED!
  • I am still chuckling foolishly at rory's comment every time I re-read this.
  • Hey M Valdemar, my uncle plays jazz cornet too -- was/is considered one of the best in New England, if not the whole US. Plus I like your taste in movies. You should de-lurk more!
  • So bad, it's good.
  • Alternately, so bad it's bad.
  • The shiny guy worries a lot.
  • Indeed. /burn
