Incredible Beethoven 'Ode to Joy' flashmob! ( Banco Sabadell)

I haven’t seen this posted here before, but only a recent follower. I had this cartoon pinned to my office wall in the 90’s. At the time, I just thought it was ...hilarious. My Manager , who shared the office with me, said one day, you know, that’s really not that funny. What do you think? Edit: seems most Farside fans agree that they had a laugh. This cartoon is whimsical and not everyone ‘gets’ whimsical. For you non-Australian friends, please look up Michael Leunig. He is an Australian National Treasure and his cartoons are the best in Whimsy.

A deeper look....

This weekend we recommend embarrasing your children with an 1980s VS. 2020 dance challenge.

This is the official Hot Scots drum line of the year 2011. Great entertainment and huge young talent in just three minutes and a half. - credits to the drummers... Nigel, Dylan, Matt, Elias and Jordan that actually won the Talent Show at Lake Howell High School with this performance. Congrats! See more
