    The storytelling in this song is Phenomenal !!! Reels you in like a movie, by the time it gets to the cheering... no matter how many times I listen, I'm rooting for him and practically cheering myself. Such a beautifully writen song, someone needs to bring back story telling through music like this.

      I always believe it’s better for people to changed for the better rather than people telling them that their life is ruined for the rest of their life and let them continue being bad. It’s better to changed so that no future life get hurt too. That’s just my opinion. But I like when they given chance to change and changed for goos

      Mr. Orlando was on an episode of Gilbert Gottfried's (RIP) Amazing Colossal Podcast a few year back.
      I listened to it. Better than average episode! (And he SURVIVED Gilbert with his humor intact! LOL)
      He had some interesting stories to tell that included experiences with Jackie Gleason. The experience with Mr. Gleason was initially negative but it ended positively because Mr. Gleason corrected himself without being a diva about it. The story made me respect both Orlando and Gleason more...

    Throughout my childhood I remember seeing on my dad’s night stand a toy music box/statue of two children playing dentist in a dentist chair. The music box played this song. Being a dentist his entire life, he must have received it as a gift at some point. I never knew what tune it was until recently. I hadn’t heard this tune for 20 years until right now. The nostalgia is palpable. You’re not even gone yet and I miss you already, dad.

This music reminds me of it a lot. And I love it. What gorgeous music, I'm truly rediscovering the whole decade! :)

I’ve replayed this video like 5 times. Such. A. Good song ;)
