I needed that on this Monday morning. I feel about how Walken looks sitting on that chair, and I’m hoping to follow his dancing example. thanks!

What I love about this is that I’ve totally done this in my mind—sitting, outwardly bored, but inwardly dancing like I’m in a musical to the music in my head. Also? Only Walken could make it look like as good as if he had a whole cast of backup dancers behind him.

I’ve always loved this song and video. I heard an interview with Walken where he talked about it, perhaps on Fresh Air. I’ll see if I can find it.

I can’t watch the video here because my high-speed isn’t working right now. But may I say that just being reminded of it makes me smile. I love it…especially the flying part.

Yes, yes he is.

Oh yeah! I loved that video back in the day. (Seriously, is it THAT old? I think I watched it in high school.)
