OK - It is so far from period it's practically unspeakable. But you folks are the only librarian listserv that I get together with in person regularly. All right, it's only once a year, at a campground and we're all dressed funny, but you know what i mean.<br>

<br><br>You know, I am even more impressed now that I've seen the original. Damn! They are Good! You have to be very meticulous if you're going to pull off a Really Good take-off. (Well, it's not a parody, and it's not a filk...) The scansion is extremely close, the singer is pretty much spot on and the people doing the dancing and lip-synching are right on it at least half the time. Plus the video action is properly evocative of the original while still being its own presentation.<br>
