    I can't seem to find the link. But then, I am near sighted. Could you help a brother out?

    No sound at my daytime (work) computer, so I'll have to continue later. So far, all I have is suspense! I want to see the puppet that John Daker is singing through. I mean, c'mon! The guy doesn't even move his lips!

    ... which, I suppose, is the whole point. :P

    The funniest darned video I've seen in a long time. I watch it over and over, and it always cracks me up. :razz:

    Has anybody ever thought of putting together a "John Daker Conveys an Emotion" website, (see: "emotioneric.com"), using various screenshots of Daker? Because I noticed that you can pause it at any time during his "performance" and he seems to display a different emotion every time, even from frame to frame. You could have, "Happy," and show the shot of him attempting a smile; "Surly," which he appears to be at several points; "Scowling," which he looks like he's doing to somebody towards the end of "Amore"; etc. I think this would be teh funny.

    "Thats.... you're in LLOOOVVE "(john daker eyebrow raise)


    How the hell did he have to confidence to try and improvise at that point? He had already severely screwed up and had been humming the previous verses!

    This guy is so weird. you wonder how he ends up opening the show. then he says his name when the song is supposed to start. did they rehearse this at all? I strongly doubt that he "nailed it" in the rehearsal. the guy doesnt know any of the words and they open the show with him. unbelievable. is the piano player drunk?

    i want to interview that guy. what the hell was he trying to do later in the show? lipsynch? he looked like ashlee simpson

    I remember taping this show when it originally aired in Peoria...my wife called me in and we frantically found and tape and pushed record...I haven't seen his best segment though...he does a great Woody Woodpecker rendition...I'll have to transfer it to digital and upload...
