Mash : Beyonce V Benny Hill - Single Ladies

Thought the original video was hilarious anyway, but this just adds that *little bit* more. Imagine having to learn that weird dance routine in the first place, it just doesn't make any sense, go anywhere and say anything, does it? Oh, apart from the bit where she flashes her ringless finger / hand in the chorus.

Yes, call me old, but those odd-middle-eight-dance-routines that Janet Jackson started in the late 80's have seemingly influenced everyone in that female-singer-but-look-I-can-dance genre, and they have always been shite, and Beyonce has extended that to a full length video of nonsense.

Without the timing of those poor dancers alongside the 'star', those professional dancers that have also spent hours learning these weird bobbins moves, a solo ' performer doing this sort of routine in a local disco would look like someone in need of restraint / help / a bit of a talking too, along the lines of 'can you please stop showing off' or 'have you taken your medication'.

Thanks to mrandrist on B3ta.com for sharing earlier today - yes it's a bit old, but I'd not seen it before.

International Space Station Tour

In her final days as Commander of the International Space Station, Sunita Williams of NASA recorded this extensive tour - its bit like an office farewell really, before her commute home - via the Soyuz Spacecraft.
