For whatever reason, I've been really obsessed with "Master of the House" over the past day. Never been very taken with Les Miz, but that song is super catchy and lends itself well to Shalom Sesame parodies. Dang. Will probably get sick of it after it is stuck in my head for a few more days, but until then I will keep watching videos of it on YouTube. :B

DAY 16: A song that has made you cry.

Those of you who know me know that I don't cry easily at songs/movies/books/what have you. So I'm going to honor all the songs that have been sad enough to move my cold, cold heart.



baaaawwwwwwwww ;____________;





The first song, not the second. Don't know what's up with the random Japanese actresses, but this was pretty much the only non-cover version I could find.

The most recent song that's been added to these ranks was nowhere to be found on YouTube, since no one likes Dar Williams. You can listen here on Grooveshark if you're so inclined. (Though it must be said that it was exactly the right night for it when I did cry, and it probably won't happen again.) And I think that's it, but if I remember any others, I'll edit them in.

Well, now I'm depressed.

Also, I keep forgetting to mention this, but a couple of friends of mine are writing a Homestuck next-gen AU and I figured some of you might like to read that sort of thing. Yeah, next-gen, I know, but they are good writers and I love the characters and y'all know I don't rec things that aren't quality. :B It is called Learning the Hard Way and it is pretty short so far, so you should read it maybe! :D

You don't like Les Miz? *wibble* But Bring Him Home! Stars! Javert's Suicide! Empty Chairs and Empty Tables! Do You Hear the People Sing!

I know man, I know. Maybe if I sat down and listened to it all the way through...? But the bits I've heard have on the whole not caught my attention.

You should come over and we can have a listening party for it.

It is my favorite play.

EVER.

Wait, since when has there been a Shalom Sesame youtube channel? That, that there was my early childhood...

Dude, I know! Well, I knew it as Rechov Sumsum, but after doing some research it appears that Rechov Sumsum is the Israeli version and Shalom Sesame is the collaboration between the two. Which... is probably the one I actually watched. But either way it is pretty awesome. MOISHE OOFNIK.

(Also, I found the Muppet wiki article (http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Rechov_Sumsum) on Rechov Sumsum. I am loving some of those name changes. /translation nerd)
