My brother David has had his iPhone for a little while, and seems to have quickly mastered all its various quirks. Earlier this afternoon, he took the phone out and played a video of a Baskin Robbins TV commercial-- you might know the one I'm talking about: it features deliberately bad stop-motion animation of various human and monster dolls dancing around while the following lyrics are barked:
ice cream and cake and cake!
ice cream and cake and cake!
ice cream and cake, do da' ice cream and cake!
ice cream and cake, do da' ice cream and cake!
(etc.)
(Video here. It turns out the lyrics are from the song "Ice Cream and Cake" by the Buckwheat Boyz, whoever they are.)
David showed the video to Mom, and as he and I bopped to the painfully corny tune, Mom smiled and started gently bopping along with us. Hee hee.
Cancer might not be contagious, but if Mom's little performance was any indication, music and dance are.
