"Bye Bye Birdie"...

Your Farmer Ted LOVES Bollywood movies. To me they are corny, predictable, cliched, over-the-top, gaudy and probably the greatest entertainment you can experience. Bollywood have their own stars, starlets, and major studios. And with an audience of 1.1 BILLION that's a heck of fan base.

But when it comes to the movies, most importantly the dance numbers keep me riveted and my feet just'a tapping on the ol'porch.

And did you know they make videos out of the dance numbers? Just tune into Asian Variety Show (AVS) TV almost any time of the day on cable and you'll catch music videos made of the dance scenes from the latest movies."Desi Girl" from the movie Dostana is getting much airplay right now. And thanks to YouTube I can stream the dance version into my living room anytime I want.



Ah! Remember when Hollywood used to make movies like these? Like Bye Bye Birdie starring Paul Lynde, Ann-Margaret, and Dick Van Dyke? Yes, we do have to go back that far to find them in the US.

Ok, I may be showing my age, but I still got the moves!
