My husband showed this video to my six year old this weekend and he must of watched it 100 times… Enjoy! Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. Rules are simple. Leave ONLY the actual post [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/the-mystic-knights-of-the-oingo-boing-on-the-gong-show-1976/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/the-mystic-knights-of-the-oingo-boing-on-the-gong-show-1976/#comments Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:24:03 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=2322 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/the-mystic-knights-of-the-oingo-boing-on-the-gong-show-1976/feed/ 4 One of the first albums I ever bought (it was actually a cassette tape) was Dead Man’s Party by Oingo Boingo in 1985. I was 13 years old at the time and thought that Danny Elfman  (the lead singer of Oingo Boingo) and his crew were the most amazing and “creepiest” band ever (in the [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/music/memoryhouse-lately/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/music/memoryhouse-lately/#comments Mon, 31 May 2010 22:58:58 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=2264 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/music/memoryhouse-lately/feed/ 2 I recently saw this video on another blog- unfortunately even when tracing my steps I couldn’t find the blog or I would post their link and a comment to thank them for posting this ethereal video clip… I’m not familiar with Memoryhouse or their music, and in general don’t watch music videos because they seem [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/the-a-team-2010/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/the-a-team-2010/#comments Sun, 30 May 2010 00:33:21 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=2241 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/the-a-team-2010/feed/ 9 I recently heard that a new A-Team movie is coming out in June.  June 11th to be exact, but you won’t see me there at opening day or even at the theater at all. In fact- I doubt I will see it when it comes out on DVD at the Redbox for a dollar. I [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/movies/dead-end-a-1937-thriller-starring-humphrey-bogart/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/movies/dead-end-a-1937-thriller-starring-humphrey-bogart/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:18:04 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=2134 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/movies/dead-end-a-1937-thriller-starring-humphrey-bogart/feed/ 9 It occurred to me a couple weeks ago while browsing through the film selections at my library- that I haven’t seen a Humphrey Bogart film in some time. It had been a long time since I saw Casablanca or The Maltese Falcon which were readily available for check out. However instead of watching them again, [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/#comments Wed, 17 Feb 2010 03:32:59 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=2027 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/feed/ 8 I am sure there are a few people out there who don’t like the actor Cary Grant, but I have never met them. As of  last week, I could honestly say I had never seen a Cary Grant movie I didn’t like, that was until I watched the 1952 comedy Monkey Business starring Cary Grant, [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/movies/almost-vintage-the-movies-of-1990/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/movies/almost-vintage-the-movies-of-1990/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:43:08 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1948 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/movies/almost-vintage-the-movies-of-1990/feed/ 10 Before I started this post on movies that came out twenty years ago, I tried to guess what movies came out that year without peeking on the internet. To do so, I thought of where I was in 1990 and what I might have seen at the movie theaters. In 1990 I would have graduated [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/almost-vintage-looking-back-at-1990/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/almost-vintage-looking-back-at-1990/#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:03:30 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1937 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/almost-vintage-looking-back-at-1990/feed/ 6 Happy New Year to you all. I hope you a great holiday season and a fabulous New Year. It still sort of blows my mind that we are already into the second decade of the new millennium. For those of you who are really into vintage like I am- that means that “stuff” from the [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/music/the-christmas-song-as-sung-by-nat-king-cole/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/music/the-christmas-song-as-sung-by-nat-king-cole/#comments Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:23:52 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1927 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/music/the-christmas-song-as-sung-by-nat-king-cole/feed/ 5 Here some quick facts about The Christmas Song. The Christmas Song is commonly known as “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire“ or “Merry Christmas to You” which are lines from the song. In fact up until today I had no idea this song was actually called The Christmas Song. It was written by Mel Torme [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/santa-in-animal-land-1948-christmas-puppet-show/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/santa-in-animal-land-1948-christmas-puppet-show/#comments Sat, 19 Dec 2009 22:28:18 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1923 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/santa-in-animal-land-1948-christmas-puppet-show/feed/ 4 A strange little video that shows how Kitty Kat becomes the first animal Santa Claus. This video is a little disturbing, as Harvey the dog gives Kitty Kat a live mouse as a present… however, Kitty Kat Santa says, “Oh no Harvey- not on Christmas.” Apparently, cats eat mice every day of the year but [...]
