I smell candy when I listen to this.

@FerreThoughts Lucky You. All i smell when i hear this is the smell of the molding rotting costume dress when i was a little clown for this number in a production of the Nutcracker.

@ManfredDeJesus the man knew how to orchestrate--butalso to do it with emotion and drama--and here, fun. genius.

I love this version!! It's so slow! I am choreographing a number to this and I am wondering if you can tell me where you got it, or if you would be willing to send it to me via email? It would help SO much. I have only been able to find faster versions and that's hard for little feet to dance to. :)

@tusculum30 Same here!

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@Monica15N Agreed! ;)
