Cancan!

[Mahaf]

Alright, played a flash game called Musical Lanterns, and got hooked on Vanessa Mae's "Cancan" remix. I listen to it all the time, though I've never listened to music of the kind before. It follows me wherever I go. It's in my head at all times. I love it. That is all. O_o






Anyone else listen to this or just heard of her? ... Don't look at me like that, foo'. :grr:

[Poison]

Of course, Vanessa Mae, the Asian violin player. Remixes classical music in a rock kind of way. Known her for years.

This thread made me think of Moulin Rouge, the scene where Ziggler shouts "EVERYBODY CANCAN!" And then they all do.

Good times.

[Randomus]

I'm one of like five people who actually liked Moulin Rouge.

[Stalking Shadow]

That makes me another one of five people who liked that movie. :P

[MikeKAY]

I liked that movie, not sure what everyone was bitching about it for. :notme:

[Mahaf]

As did I.... I'm definitely weird, though... So guess what you guys are? :chuckle:

[Randomus]

Cool. I thought everyone loathed it for being too "silly". Most of the people I know RL hate it.

[Stalking Shadow]

I've gotten that reply from people too.

It must be a Bay Area/Canuck thing.

[Alumette]

I loved that movie too! One of my favorites!

[Tarkenchi]

Wow... 5 out of the 5 people that like the movie are here! We are so fancy!... so, flash game... linkey?:P

[Rottweiler]

Shoot... I thought I liked Moulin Rouge, but there's 5 people already. :grr:

[Stalking Shadow]

You should have jumped into the band-sedan sooner.

[TroubleWolf]

Oh, I loved Moulin Rouge, don't get me wrong. The music was brilliantly used to enhance the story. I loved it from the moment Ewan McGregor broke into "THE HILLS ARE ALIIIIIIVE!"

In fact, I need to get the karaoke disc with "The Elephant Medley" on it, and find a girl to do Nicole Kidman's part... that would be awesome at karaoke.
