This is cute and fun and made me smile (all those cute weird looking guys didn’t hurt either).😉

From the Daily What:

> Videographer Teddy Saunders hit the playa at Burning Man 2011 and captured an ensemble of Burners performing Dr. Seuss’s masterpiece, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!

It’s Burning Man so it may not be quite safe for work. It’s 7m10s

That was kind of delightful. I want to save that video and show it to my (future) kids.

Wow! Wish I could show that to the kids; since I can’t, as they’re 11 and 13 and I’m just not ready to explain to them how a woman can dress as Freddy Mercury and both nail it and make it awesome…I’m going to have to find the actual book, I think. Or some kid-friendly version, because I’d never heard of it and it’s quite inspiring!

I just watched it and was coming back to question where the kid un-friendly part was. Then I realized my kid censor is set for a 5-6 year old girl. I don’t think she’d even noticed anything off about the Freddy Mercury girl. If she even realized that it wasn’t a guy I don’t think she’d catch that she was topless (same goes for the pantless girl running away from the camera).

If my daughter was familiar with the book, I’d have her watch video since it’s kinda fun. Since I don’t think she knows it, it’s not likely she’d even pay attention.

Thanks for sharing this. It’s been all over my Facebook news, but I haven’t actually watched it until just now. Makes me kinda want to go, but I can’t fathom camping without trees…

Here is another, using the song _Home_ with a reworked bridge. There are lots of scantily clad women, including one in naught but panties and paint so the two click rule is evoked:[Home](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQPQn9TLpPY&feature=player_embedded)
