Oops,...If yer gonna make a goof; make it a "Herculean" goof!!  
Yeah, I believe Steve Reeves starred in "Hercules" and I think I know how I made this monumental oopsie!
It goes from George Reeves, to Steve Reeves to Christopher Reeves along the "Super Heroic" movie progression, and I simply forgot to leave out the "Middle Man"
I wonder if "Hercules" had a knock-out sound track!?
Never even saw the flick
A side note to "Somewhere in time"
I really enjoyed the soundtrack, but the location of the movie was at Macinac Island which is a resort destination at the straits between the Southern and Northern peninsulas of Michigan. There are no vehicles allowed on the island less two emergency vehicles. The primary forms of traffic are bicycles and horses. A primary sales item is locally produced and sold fudge where they quite often pump the odors from the fudge shops out onto the streets to get the passersbys' attention. The streets are kept fairly clean but you can note that horses have in fact reciently been in the area.
On a sunny day the smells of fudge and horses mingle into a lasting impression!
Now,...what's for breakfast?

It is definitely the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini that is so beautiful. I knew it was based on a classical theme, I just didn't know the name of the piece or who composed it.

After seeing this video, I bought the song. It is in French. I don't care.

Speaking of French music, Plastic Bertrand's punk/pop song from 1977, "Ca Plane Pour Moi" (translates roughly to "It's going well for me"), is pretty cool. Here's an iTunes link.

I'm TOTALLY missing the guilty gene. I had a superhero dress-up party this weekend . . . 20 adults dressed as comic book heroes - just a blast! And when I cranked out the Footloose soundtrack, you couldn't get a spot on the dance floor. Fun is as fun does - Macarena, Electric Slide, or even a little Mambo Number 5 . . .

JohnK, I'd read somewhere that this disc was better. If anyone would know, it's you. I'd like to pick up one of them. Which one is better?

Reading both your latest posts gave me goosebumps.

The obvious question is - who did you go dressed as?
