I'm always trying to find a way to get my big belly in the shot.
And seriously, these lipdubs have always made me feel good. I remember my long ago undergrad days with mixed emotions, and I often wish I'd have had a few more days like these kids seem to be having.
And yes, I'm jaded and cynical and want to murder 40 students a semester, but there is something beautiful and wondrous about them sometimes. That, for me at least, is always captured in these silly vidshizzles.
See, this proves that they can coordinate, plan, make creative decisions, and enjoy themselves all at the same time. But you put them in a group of four and it's "Oh, gosh, we can't all meet at the same time."
One of the things that makes the misery so acute for me is that I really *like* college students, and I know what they can do, so it disappoints me when they don't live up to those expectations.
By the way, didn't it seem like one of those "construction workers" was *much* more interested in the other construction worker than he was in the woman? Or is it just where I've heard this song most often that makes me think so?
This makes me want to be a student again.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I saw Cal dancing in there. Nice cameo.

I haven't watched it yet. For the love of God tell me Cal has his shirt on!
