Chameleon (Tony Lavorgna and the St. Thomas Jazz Quartet)

Just heard this on KMHD and had to share it.

The Oompa Loompa Music Festival

I just watched “Wonka” and enjoyed it. The highlight, of course, was the Oompa Loompa. (There’s only one for most of the movie.) I thought you might like a sampling of the Oompa Loompa songs from all three movies.

The Oompa Loompas didn’t really sing the song they are known for in the 2005 movie, but there is a tiny snippet of it in the Chewing Song. See if you hear it.

You’re the One You Love (Wayne R. Flower)

A buddy of mine recently released a solo album. (Wayne also plays with the band, Treepeople, touring the Pacific NW.) He tells me the 12″ vinyl is coming soon.

My All (Kraak & Smaak and Turbotito)

This reminds me of The Alan Parsons Project.

Gravity (The Danish National Symphony Orchestra feat. Tuva Semmingsen & Christine Nonbo)

Another great film soundtrack adaptation by my favorite Danes.

Cracker Island (Gorillaz feat. Thundercat)

Two ways to enjoy this Weird Wednesday treat.

The Diva Dance from “The Fifth Element” (Elina Nechayeva)

This is a live performance.

There is at least one small error in the performance, but that makes it more impressive. No cinemagraphic tricks.
