Brian Hyland – Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
A evening pause: From the Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show, July 16, 1960. True, it is lip-sync’d, but the silly innocence of this bygone time makes it absolutely worthwhile. And I think this really does make a good lead-in to Valentine’s Day.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
Friday Songs – Listen to the Music!
An evening pause: As noted at the youtube webpage, “a feel-good tribute to the Doobie Brothers hit.” It appears this guy produces a new cover song each Friday “to celebrate the best day of the week.”

An evening pause: About a minute into this I was thinking, this is exactly the kind of bicycle tricks that teenage boys began doing in the 1980s. And that’s about when she really got started.

Candide Thovex – quattro 2
An evening pause: This guy sure knows how to find some beautiful spots.
