Okay, after that sad post, we need a laugh right? Well, here we go!
This video is widely described as "the worst music video of all time". It is a video made for a song "I Wanna Love You Tender" - which is an English version of a Finnish hit song "Tahdon olla sulle hyvin hellä". Both songs are performed by a 70s singing sensation (ahahaha) Armi & Danny. This video is hilarious with it's amateurish tricks, funny dance moves and choreography. The not so good pronounciation of English is no great addition to the package either. It is no wonder this has been ridiculed and co-sidedly, a source for enormous amount of joy over the many years. It has also produced parodies, some of them here on You Tube as well.
Danny still performs, he is like the Finnish version to Elvis - the slim and the fat version - though he is a wonderful person and a true professional. Armi had a sad ending - she passed away in the beginning of the millennium. Despite their now amazingly funny performances, Armi was a wonderful generous kind person and may her soul rest in peace. She gave a lot of joy while living and it seems that the nostalgic songs she done with Danny back in the 70s are still spreading the word of love and laughter. And being tender! So remember to smile and hug the ones you love. If no one is around - give yourself a hug. You've deserved it.
As how this connects with my life: I can remember my mom singing the Finnish version of the song --- many times --- to the point of aggravation... No! Haha! Her singing never irritated me... well, that is: unless I was really trying to listen to the singer and her voice would cover it up completely! Haha! So, I give you "the thinner cream of the 70s, the amazing cinematography, the colourful costume design, graceful dance movements and maticulous lip synching": Armi & Danny, I wanna love you tender! =)
I also have to say in my parents defense, that when I started singing my favorite music, meaning English pop and rock, they never denied me. I know I was loud - I had a microphone - and I sang on top of my favorite records. They endured it without any negative remarks - ever. It is rather amazing when I think about it. I can't remember even one time that they would have said "shut up" or "can you turn that down?" or anything like that. So, thanks mom and dad for letting me sing! And you can rest assure, now my neighbours are being tormented just like you were. Aren't they lucky? Ahahahahahahah!

Here are the lyrics (in case you feel the urge to sing on top of the original, haha):
I love you, I wanna love you tender/ You could be my only sweet surrender/
I would never bring you any kind of sorrow
You love me, you wanna love me tender/ How can I be sure you're not pretender?
You want me today, but what about tomorrow?
Oh, you're absolutely fine, your lips are taste of wine/ I'd like to think you're mine.
And if I could touch your hand/ this rock would turn to sand, so this is where we stand.
You love me, you wanna love me tender/ How can I be sure you're not pretender?
You want me today, but what about tomorrow?
I love you, I wanna love you tender/ I just want to be your loving fender.
I would like to take you; I know I can't deceive you.
I love you, I do can be so tender/ I can be your only sweet surrender,
And if you give your heart, I'll never ever leave you.
Oh, you're absolutely fine, your lips are taste of wine/ I'd like to think you're mine.
And if I could touch your hand, this rock would turn to sand, so this is where we stand.
If we all say 'Wanna love you tender'/ No-one has to be a great pretender.
And this world would be/ a better place to live in.
