Cole Porter: Night and Day - Ozmoroid wanks it

Cole Porter was one of the all-time great songwriters. He brought so much grace, beauty and, well, gayness (in the "happy" sense of the word) into the world. He wrote my favorite song: Night and Day. Here I take a shot at playing it (disclosure: I don't play the flute, that's a midi keyboard). I hope it honors him in some small way.

Anyway, Cole Porter was also gay (in the men-who-love-men sense)... and married. See gay people have always been able to get married, just not to each other. That's the only thing that would change if marriage equality were the norm. So what's the big deal?

Just classic !!!

Geez, whattaya gay or something? And by that I mean happy gay, not fah-laming gay.

Good stuff, not enough people here appreciate the classics and ol' timey music and especially to use it to make valid points.

Upon hearing a Cole Porter tune I instantly turn gay.

Some very chill bossa nova there. I'm in the process of learning midi myself.

Also, very interesting points about Cole Porter and tying it to current events.

It's the one with the rollerscating vicar and pixie hats.

Hahaha ... I didn't see that Monty Python skit, or at least don't remember it.
