All I do the whole night through is dream of you. And with the dawn, I still go on dreamin' of you.

You're every thought,
you're every thing,
you're every song I ever sing,
summer, winter, autumn and spring.

I'm not even watching "Singing in the Rain" right now.
Check it out:
A Night at the Opera

I think the Marx Brothers are one of the most under-appreciated groups of comedians these days. Their brand of humor is just so unique, so classic, so witty. They're just one more of those wonderful things my dad exposed me to when I was young.

I'm watching "A Night At The Opera" right now, which is what that above link is from. I used to watch these movies when I was like seven years old and tell my dad how I wanted to play the piano just like Chico Marx. He would laugh at me and tell me I'd never learn how to do that from a piano teacher and that I'd have to just do it myself.

And now I play the horn. Le sigh. Goodbye, old dreams. Hello, new dreams.

I'm going to post a lot of these, so if you watch any of them, watch this one: A Day at the Races
I feel that this is really what his piano routines come down to. There is obvious talent, but it's exhibited in a way that leaves you feeling giggly. I love how he just slams his hands down on the keys and somehow music comes out. He's the only one who can actually pull it off. I think the orchestra helps out with the theatrical aspect of the music as well. I also apologize for the corny beginning and end of that video.

Monkey Business

At the Circus

Go West

Horse Feathers

One of my favorite things about Chico is how I watch him and feel the chemistry he has with the piano. That's one of the many things I love about being an instrumentalist, really. I feel that, through music, I can have a relationship with this inanimate object that would otherwise be meaningless.

I think everyone should watch a Marx Brothers movie as soon as they get the chance so the world can remember what real comedy feels like. Not the raunchy, sexy, unsettling comedy that everyone loves so much these days. I'm guilty of that too. I'm a more-than-frequent watcher of Family Guy, a big Will Ferrell fan, and I've even been known to laugh at South Park whenever I watch it (perhaps my deepest point of shame). But when it comes down to it, this kind of humor is what got everything started. It's really the foundation for everything that came afterward.

I guess you could say that about anything. But everything about the Marx Brothers feels so pure and robust, and I feel no shame in laughing at it, because it's clean and it's funny.

I think I should watch old movies more often. They make me feel better about humanity.

I'm done with this post. I know I said I would write about important things, and maybe this isn't important because of its depth.

I think it's important because we would be bored without music, and we would all die without laughter.

END.
