Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers Fan Video

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing to Bathwater by No Doubt. This is my first fan video. Sorry for the crappy sound. Enjoy!

----4/1/08-------

I just wanted to briefly respond to people saying that this video is a "desecration", and a "disaster"or that because I chose a song that is not of the time period, doesn't work. I assure you, I was not "out of my mind". I am a very big fan of Astaire and Rogers. I've seen every one of the movies they did together and many that they did alone. I would also like to point out that I KNEW the sound quality was bad when I posted the video. It was a problem with my recording program and, short of using a different computer which I didn't have, there was honestly nothing I could do. I WILL agree that the song does not live up to Astaire/Rogers. However, this was one of the few songs I found whose beat matched the rhythms of most of Astaire and Rogers' songs together. And, rhythm aside, I agree that I can't think of any recent songs that would do justice to this team. I firmly believe that Sondheim writes the best songs these days, but no one can dance do them. I do, however, disagree that this means I disrespect Astaire or Rogers by any means! I hold both of them in the highest regards and I don't want you to think otherwise.

Great clips..........music SUCKS

[shermet]

Great film...utterly rubbish dubbed music!

[razorbeard50]

Nice clip of Classic Dancing, back in the days of musical films; however . . .

Why did you RUIN this film by putting in such a LOUSY audio track. The audio track should be in the TRASH CAN, not on YouTube.

@foamulator I´m agree. I prefer the original music!

[kevinastraw]

You call yourself a fan?

[elecomob67whip]

Awful music and an insult to the dancing......particularly to the unique Mr.Astaire.

[BOHEMIANMEX]

Maybe you can try with a video of Mae West and music of AC/DC

[HouyhnhnmsLand]

the music should be Sway!

[BlueQueen83]

Wonderful video :-) I love the clips, I love the music and the way you matched them! It's artistic. Don't mind the bitter comments. 77 people don't know how to appreciate someone's good work.

you lost me with Gwen Stefani, I loath her obnoxious voice. (no offense)

I watched an awful lot of AMC back in the 80s when I was little. My mom taped the majority of the Fred and Ginger films from there; I loved them! I'm curious though: why should the music in a fan video have to match the time period of the video clips? Not liking the song itself is one thing--I probably wouldn't if it stood alone--but I think it works well in context. The clips are well cut to take advantage of the rhythm and progression of the song. They create a sense of timelessness together.
