    I don't know why, but when the guy starts waving his hands at 1:20 I can't help but smile. It's strangely comedic. I know he's cueing the "orchestra" to come in, but something about the noises, the beat, the hand waving all at once is just... it's something all right. Also, the singer actually is quite good, just wanted to point that out. They fit this style well.
