Tonight’s Tips music selection is one of those magic songs that almost makes you fall in love, or at least brings back the feeling, just for a moment, of what it was like. From 1946, here’s Jo Stafford’s exquisitely beautiful rendition of Moonlight in Vermont.

In tonight’s Tips music, dedicated to swashbuckling Liberal dreamboat Justin Trudeau, monochromatic chanteuse Gale Garnett, who is perhaps most famous for being just another notch in Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s bedpost, trudges her way through Where Do You Go To Go Away?
I believe she’s referring to a sovereign Quebec, but I’m not completely sure about that.

Years ago my brother and I were riding in the back seat of our dad’s car listening to a local radio station when a comedy routine about a pitch-and-tempo-challenged singer giving it the old college try made us laugh ourselves sick. It wasn’t until years later that we realized that what we’d thought was a world-class piece of comedic satire was in fact an actual hit song, recorded by a reluctant and insecure young non-singer who had been plucked off the streets of Philadelphia and thrust into the spotlight by talent scouts searching for an attractive teen idol, vocal talent be damned. Here it is, for your weekend listening pleasure: Fabian’s 1959 smash hit Turn Me Loose.
I know, it’s not that bad, but it still makes me laugh.

Tonight we present a couple of video amusements forwarded by SDA readers: first, via Adrian, place your bets on the success or catastrophic failure of the not-so-little Vodka Burner That Could. I say “not a chance.” And via Dave S., it’s man versus table saw, as an intrepid gentleman puts one of his wee body parts on the line in an attempt to prove that his remarkable new safety device actually works as advertised. Yikes.

In 1997 Long Island public television station WLIW debuted Visions, a unique documentary series featuring high definition aerial footage of various world destinations. The voice-over narration is occasionally cliché, or delivered in a cloying, fake-sounding accent, but it’s mostly intermittent and unobtrusive, and at least somewhat informative; the real pleasure, in any case, lies in the almost ethereal birds-eye perspective that provides a unique sense of the lay of the land and allows viewers to survey significant landmarks, churches, and ruins in their historic and geographical context. Tonight, for your viewing pleasure, here’s the visually gorgeous Visions Of Sicily.

In tonight’s Tips music old-time country warbler Kitty Wells asks her no-good, cheating, soon-to-be-divorced husband the solemn question, “Will Your Lawyer Talk To God?”

Since 1895 London has been home to an annual series of summer concerts, spread out over the course of eight weeks from July to September, called the Proms. Originally staged in public spaces (promenades) with the intention of educating English commoners about the pleasures of classical music, the Proms have since become a more widespread cultural tradition. In tonight’s selection, from the 2009 edition of the most popular concert in the series, the traditionally looser, almost giddy annual finale known as The Last Night of the Proms, throngs of jolly pink revelers join the rather impressively attired Sarah Connolly in a rousing performance of Rule Britannia.
