It has been raining for over a week almost non-stop here in Ventura County, but today, Christmas Eve Eve, we have a reprieve (well maybe for a couple days). The sunshing brings to mind these five sunny day songs that are tops on my list. My kids' personal favorite is Johnny Nash's original 1972 hit "I Can See Clearly Now." The Beatles are awesome but John Denver's "Sunshine on My Shoulder" gets my personal nod.

PAC-MAN has been all the rage today on its 30th Birthday, with the Google home page turning into a miniature PAC-MAN game. Well, the Annoying Orange makes an appearance here, swapping places with PAC-MAN. I was amused by this so I hope you are too.
You've gotta watch this amazing performance...particularly the acrobatics and contortionism after the first 55 seconds of singing. Amazing!! The Ross Sisters performed this in 1944 and perhaps were the inspiration for Art Clokey's creation of Gumby in the early 1950s!!

The other day I posted the hilarious I Love Lucy chocolate factory episode which brings a smile to face every time I see it. But this scene from the 1952 "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" episode is probably the most popular I Love Lucy segment of all time. In this episode, Lucy insists on doing a commercial on a TV show Ricky is working on. Long story short, she finally gets the job of promoting health tonic "Vitameatavegamin" but after repeated rehearsals the 23% alcohol tonic gets her drunk. Lucille Ball was a comic genius.
Another neat music video, this one for the upcoming holiday. Martina McBride was about 42 years old when this digital duet was released in 2008. Elvis would would have been 73.
