The Carolina Chocolate Drops make their Feel Good Friday debut here at the squirrel’s nest.
It takes them a few seconds to get tuned up, but once they do, it’s top notch and quite possibly the bee’s knees.
Tap your feet and enjoy a little Salty Dog.

I was listening to Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air on Thursday and they had a wonderful piece on singer Sugar Pie DeSanto.
I decided then and there that this would be my Feel Good Friday song.
Soulful Dress.
Tonight I want to go the party Sugar Pie is about to attend and watch her dance all night long.
Oh, and I don’t have a clue why all the visuals in the video are shots of vintage scooters. Not a clue, but they’re pretty cool too.

Here’s your dose of Feel Good Friday.
It’s a heavy, heavy monster sound that will get you to move your feet.
Madness with “One Step Beyond.”

Tiger Woods has now officially apologized in front of the cameras for his personal indiscretions.
In honor of that, how about a song with Sorry in the title not once but twice.
You’ll have to watch it multiple times to actually meet the equivalent number of apologies necessary for each and every one of Tiger’s affairs.
Nothing says “Sorry” like a bunch of orange-clad Filipino prisoners dancing in unison with teenage girls on hand to watch. I’m a bit confused by the young female audience.
For more information about the prison dance routines, visit Byron F Garcia.

It’s been exactly four years since I typed the opening salvo on this blog. I’d like to think I have helped pollute the Internet and make it a place unsafe for the rest of the world.
This blog has introduced me to a host of new characters, and I’ll always be thankful for those who’ve visited here, whether they’ve regular visitors or just passing by in a virtual whirlwind.
In honor of the anniversary, I’ll be partying In Da Club like it’s my birthday.

I heard part of this song this morning while in the truck. I sang along until I turned the key to get out of the vehicle.
I wanted to relive the whole thing, so, lucky you, I’m sharing it as my Feel Good Friday tune.
The Talking Heads with “Stay Up Late”.

I understand the big, new kiddy television trend is Yo Gabba Gabba! on Nick Jr.
Bright colors, weird costumes, music – why wouldn’t a toddler go nuts for this stuff?
What I like is the fact that some of Hollywood’s quirkiest are stopping in for guest appearances. (Amy Sedaris as the Tooth Fairy, The Office’s Angela Kinsey, Biz Markey, The Shins, Elijah Woods, etc.).
Here’s my favorite visitor to the set of Yo Gabba Gabba! – Jack Black. What’s not to love when a gamboling, jigging, giant Orange Dreamsicle of a man frolics in an uninhibited manner about the stage?
Hat tip to The Bloggess for the video.
Now, let me say, not having a rugrat youngster in the house, I haven’t tuned into the show. Matter of fact, I was pretty much unaware of it until I ran across the Jack Black appearance.
Then I was struck by a visual image I couldn’t ignore. On that side note, is it just my perverted brain that thinks the character Muno looks like something purchase
d in an adult bookstore?
Think about it – one “eye”, red, covered in pleasure-inducing nubs.
I’m not the only one apparently.
The San Fransisco Examiner’s baby blog The Poop pointed out the sex toy relation.
As did Glamour Magazine’s Daily Single Mom blog Storked.

Well, I guess I can officially type that I’ve seen it all now.
A geriatric North Dakota square dance group is using flash mob moves that they saw on Oprah (Thanks O!).
I’m not sure I’ll ever hear this Black Eyed Peas tune again without thinking of this AARP rug-cutting crew.
Personally the dancer in the red skirt is captivating for some reason, but once the gang on the outside of the circle gets in motion, that’s where I tended to focus my attention.
