Not bad. A bit passionless - even the singer herself looked quite bored in places. Still, it was alright. 6/10
Now this is one of my favourite pieces by one of my favourite singers - it never fails to move me:

"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Didn't do much for me but 4/10 for the accompaniment.
Here is another literature and song combination, with apologies to Thomas Wolfe.

"Je crois que beaucoup de gens sont dans cet état d’esprit: au fond, ils ne sentent pas concernés par l’Histoire. Mais pourtant, de temps à autre, l’Histoire pose sa main sur eux." Michel Houellebecq.
Unspeakably awful. 0/10
Julie London, doing what she did.
Just listened to Wossisface Ray - 0/10 seems a bit generous to me. Couldn't we award negative marks?Originally Posted by MarkBastable

Julie London wasn't bad so I'll give her 6/10, and I just know you'll enjoy this one.

I could enjoy singing along to this with the right company and atmosphere: 5/10!
Because it was readily available there:

It makes me wonder what the studio were thinking of assembling the unlikely cast of Vaughan, Montand, and Monroe. I believe it went down like the proverbial lead balloon.

I liked it. 7/10
How about some New order.

I love New Order, 8/10.

I really liked the first bit, and the rest of it was actually alright. 6.5/10

Lost for words. 2/10 for the animation.

Now I'm not necessarily saying there's a connection, but it is instructive that one of the adverts accompanying the video is for an Elephant Dung Collector.

I'mk rather ambivalent about it, to be honest. It sounds reasonable, but it doesn't do anything for me. 5/10.
This, on the other hand, always makes me smile:

Just bear in mind that she is an actress, not a singer!
