A long time ago, I watched the great Mel Brooks movie “The Producers“. I recall my favorite character being Lorenzo St. DuBois as portrayed by the late, great Dick Shawn. I recently ran across a video clip of Lorenzo’s audition for Springtime for Hitler. This scene always makes me laugh. Shawn’s rendition of the song is funny enough, but coupled with his groovy dancing, the hip high boots, and the Campbell’s soup can hanging around his neck, and it’s just over the top. The song starts off lighthearted and lovely, but quickly devolves into a rant against society. I can relate. LOL.
I’m not sure, but I think the chick in the background with the guitar might’ve gone on to become one of the Robert Palmer girls.
And while I’m posting, I think I’ll play blog tag and challenge my friends to post an amusing video clip, some light-hearted musing, or something outrageously funny.
