Tragic in any language

“There is no life without humor. It can make the wonderful moments of life truly glorious and it can make tragic moments bearable.” – Rufus Wainwright

I promised you some tragic goodness from karaoke at the fair... so here you go.

Um, ok… first of all, I hate Celine Dion… with her waif self, old creepy husband, strange son with long hair… and her songs. For the love of God, would that woman just shut up already?

But while I don’t like Celine Dion, what I do like is hearing Tico men sing the theme song to Titanic…somehow it sounds so much better coming from them. So much so that I had to get it on video. I have warned you, the Ticos love karaoke.

There is also video here of a woman dancing. Please, when you watch this video, know that the Latin people (in general) have an amazing sense of rhythm and can move faster and more smoothly than you would believe… this woman is clearly the exception to the rule… and should have stopped drinking about 4 hours before she started doing this.

There are a lot of funny things I could say about these videos, but I will let them speak for themselves.

Watch and enjoy.
