Hello again, Berni ... and thanks for hosting! I hope this song will count. It comes from Melanie's 1970 album, "Candles in the Rain," but is a poem by A. A. Milne, which she set to music. (I LIKE A. A. Milne!)

So sorry to hear that you and your Family are having such a difficult time, Berni! I hope this week will provide some distraction for you; it's a great theme and phew .... we don't necessarily HAVE to write an original!

Hello, Sabine ... and thanks for hosting! I have to admit that, daft though it is, this was the first song that came to mind when I saw your theme this week. Co-starring "Baudelaire Bunny," herewith ....

This is an intriguing theme, Sabine! Since it seems to have caused some controversy regarding the actual meaning of "crackers" - and, being a Brit, I am obviously thinking first and foremost of good old "Jacob's Cream Crackers" - are we allowed to use any regional interpretation of the word in...

Hello again, John! I had assumed that this song would be on The Move's 1969 "Live at the Fillmore" album, and, having already recorded it, I was rather panicked to see that it did not actually appear on there. However, after extensive research, I found that The New Seekers had recorded it on...

This has nothing much to do with anything, but I just wanted to apologise for having been rather "absent" the last couple of weeks. As I explained on John's thread, I have suddenly been beset by French bureaucracy ... and have also changed the car, with all that that involved; so I have been...

Greetings, John ... and thanks for hosting! I have been somewhat absent of late, owing to the fact that French bureaucracy seems to have finally caught up with me and I have had to do a whole lot of "grown up" stuff. Having spent most of yesterday filling in an application to change my UK...

This sounds like 30 minutes past midnight my time ... hmmm!

Hello, Joo ... and thanks for hosting! This is exceedingly short, but then, so is the advertising jingle, beloved by millions for generations in the UK. (It comes with sounds of running water and washing up!)

Hello again, Christopher ... I am abiding by the rules this time! I think this must be about the third time that I've attempted this song, but I DO love it and it is sung here from the female perspective ...

And with Sabine's two very classy entries, it is my sad duty to declare Season 575 at a close. We are up to 70 videos on the Playlist ... very many thanks to you All!!! The wrap will be posted in the next few days, meanwhile, forget the waltzes, it's time to indulge in some "Dirty Dancing"...

EVERYONE'S SEEN "DIRTY DANCING" ... how did you manage to avoid it???

Oh ... and whoops! Do you want me to take it down? I have a feeling that there is a scene in the film where Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey are practising outside in the rain and getting spectacularly wet and muddy ... I suppose I could relate it to that, if pushed!

Hello, Christopher ... and thanks for hosting! I know that, by rights, I shouldn't be here, but my "hosting duties" are up to date and when I saw your theme I had a really daft idea. This may be the "filthiest" song you hear all week!

And it's time to leave you again; but not before I bring you a treat! Here, again, are the totally irresistible "Wiggles," with yet another dance; please feel free to join in ....

STOP PRESS: It has just started snowing here .... SNOWING!!! Good morning (which it obviously isn't!) Dear Seasonistas! Just to say that we are up to 50 videos on the Playlist - thank you All! Berni actually DANCES in his ... well done, that man! Please let me know if I have inadvertently...

And it's bedtime here again! I leave you with this, please feel free to copy Mr. Grooves' example ...

Time for bed again over here. I leave you with this; an example of fine terpsichory from the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain ...

And, yet again, it is time to sign off for the evening here in deepest France. There have been several superb terpsichorean contributions to add to the Playlist today - thank you All! - but if you are still in need of inspiration, have a look at this splendid example singing, dancing and uke...
