Wish the video quality had been better.

I hope Ray Charles listened to this video.

I am torn - on the one hand it is fabulous, but on the other it is an example of "1%" being slightly ridiculous - I mean how many people can afford an 18 piece band. Should I be mean and wonder if the marriage is still happy???

[Fatso]

it is incredibly lame and dissapointinlgy bad
