Be prepared to watch the best video you will ever see in your life.
Okay, maybe not THE best...but it is so freakin' sweet, I can't even begin to describe it to you.
I came across this video from 1986 of the show, Puttin' on the Kids which was the children's spin-off of the grownup version of the show Putting on the Hits. Both shows were talent competitions like American Idol, only for lip-syncers.
No real talent, but want to be on the tele? Come try out for the show!
I loved both of those horrible shows when I was a kid, however short lived. So when I stumbled across an 11-year-old contestant named Duffy Lucas doing his best "Sussudio," then I just had to share it.
I could watch this little pink lamb "sing" and dance over and over again, and still laugh like a mad man every time I see it.
Maybe it's the high kicks. Maybe it's the jazz hands. Maybe it the "Look at me, I'm on TV" expression on his little gay face. I don't know what it is. But it's pure magic!
P.S. I googled the kid's name, with the faintest hope that I'd find him in a few commercials or a small part in a movie or at least find a site for "Duffy Lucas Cheer Leading Camp" or a beauty salon or floral shoppe by the same name. But no such luck.
With scores as high as his, it's shocking he didn't go further in the biz.

aka. The Best Video Ever!
