Glad - Neatorama

(YouTube link)
Lex 10 created this joyful yet short video with the music of Cream.

I drive a 12 year old Pontiac convertible to my place of work, so I get quite the panoramic view. I was waiting for the light to change across from a storage complex, when I noticed how the end of Cream's "Glad" matched so beautifully with the tube man on top of the storage complex's roof as he waved his pneumatic arms and whipped his pneumatic head back in an unbridled expression of glee and air-filled pride.

I don't get how the "12-yr-old convertible" makes any difference.
Otherwise, a complete and utter waste of time.

Wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man! Wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man!

Cream is awesome.

I'm really not inclined to believe that this was filmed, on the spur of the moment, in a car while waiting at a red light in traffic. But the terrible camera angles and editing do make a strong case for amateur video.

Easier to see random things in a convertible. I drive an '87 325i. Way to go, old 'verts.

I just love the way the lyrics match the movement of the inflated tube.

andewdoane and cuimhne-- me too!! i was smiling the whole time.. i guess that was the point, right?

and fsmarch-- yea, word. why so serious, people? it's not like the intention of the video was to make you judge his credibility. it was to make you smile and be GLAD! and then think of family guy.

@Tara - I'm with you, those things disturb me! I always want to imagine that they're dancing and waving about with glee, but I can't ever seem to shake the impression that they're -really- writhing in agony ... *shudder*

How often do we get to share in a person's instantaneous, serendipitous joy? Thanks for this.

That was interesting to watch. But I still have some uncontrollable fear for Tube Men. Their unhindered movements, flailing arms, and their need to lash about makes it look like an object possessed. @_@
