LazyTown
This song appears to derive from the the Icelandic kids show LAZYTOWN. Man, those are some creepy characters.

Wraygunn
The Portuguese band called Wraygunn is my new favorite. How can you beat the brilliance of a lyric like "Go-go dancer, maybe my big sister"...?

I don't think any language barriers will affect your amazement at this Itallian video about the chewing-gum sculptures of Maurizio Savini.

Two-Way Stretch
As we all know, Chuck has a recurring theme about how the Brits coddle their prisoners. Apparently, this motif goes back at least as far as 1960, the year that the Peter Sellers film TWO-WAY STRETCH premiered. In this film, Sellers and gang receive deliveries from the milkman and newsboy, keep a cat, steal the warden's ciggies, and generally make their stay quite enjoyable. Until the tough-guy guard known as "Sourkraut" shows up. See some moments below.
