[kissmechickenbreath]

this is Floyd?! it sonds 80sish, but then again floyd was ahead of their time and i know little about them

[badskroy71]

@kissmechickenbreath Song's from 73'

[HeyLookBunny]

Who agrees that it would be funnier if a little kid who doesn't know about value does this . but knows about numbers hehe. Instead of a bunch of middle or high schoolers who are obviously looking at the camera and play dumb. Just a thought

[musicbox193]

@HeyLookBunny well also this is done by a female and it says in this poem that it's a boy

[cmitch419]

eh.

[DevilsBackboneTavern]

I liked the video, but if Ole Blind Bates felt the girl up accidentally then gave a blind, pull down the glasses wink to the camera this video would have been awesome; im just sayin

[sspeck42]

god i love shel silverstein. and floyd.

[Marklonghairmogley]

Is the main character a boy or a girl???

[EmilyA1984]

It doesn't matter, she's brilliant!!! :)

[musicbox193]

@Marklonghairmogley well considering it says "I'm his smartest SON" it's a boy, but he's played by a girl in here

[sspeck42]

[badskroy71]

"Money" by Pink Floyd

[llama2399]

[priscg]

LOVE it... great video of a favorite Shel poem with one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs!

[brianheffronjr]

bah!

[777Levin]

Rock on! Ignor Brian and hfhfhf...repressed children. Sometimes less is more and more is less and coloring outside the box actually makes it work.

[hfhfhf71]

son?

[scheherazade66]

As a teacher, I love it when students apply their own interpretation to literature. Shell was a wonderful writer. I thank you for your post!

And I really love this song.

So kudos. Looks like a good time.

I like old man bates.

[Virgo719]

i cant type just as quickly without using short hand.

using short hand makes you sound like you're in the 3rd grade

[samjoe0]

[Austin110392]

i love the poem but this was kind of stupid. it was cool how you used pink floyd though.

[oliviabunde]

Good job!

[soxfan1919]

Hmmm...a young person that has actually read Shel Silverstein, and get's into Floyd?... Cool!

[badskroy71]

thanks :D !

[llama2399]

@soxfan1919 makes sence to me pink floyd is the shit

[MyLlamaDrama]

What was the music you used?

[badskroy71]

Pink Floyd's "Money" from their 1973 legendary album Dark Side of the Moon.

[MyLlamaDrama]

That high school looks familiar

[atomterrible]

Way too much dead time! Try using a tripod also.

[badskroy71]

lol I found monopods more flexible in this case. What dead time do you mean? A lot of the stuff is intentionally long, such as where "Hiram Coombs" is smiling and laughing after he gets the pennies, and when the cane is shown after the blind man croaks. It's suppose to be subtle humor.

[bwnorx]

great stuff, nice use of floyd as well :)

[badskroy71]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
