This is an attempt at embedding a video that’s not from YouTube. One of my own. Let’s try the opening credits from Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder, because it happens to be handy and it’s short.

I helped teach this guy how to drive, and I took him to see The Blues Brothers. What was I thinking??
Chicken Fat Attack
When I was kid, along with perhaps millions of kids in gym classes across America, I was forced to exercise to a song called “Chickenfat”. I always assumed the song was done by nobody in particular, but how wrong I was. “Chickenfat” was written by Meredith Willson and sung by Robert Preston, who had some slight success with something called The Music Man.
Isn’t this just great? Robert Preston was a one-of-a-kind talent. It isn’t so much the nostalgic kick of hearing this again that I appreciate, as it is Preston’s enthusiasm.
