Behind the Transition: Sunshine de yah, a-time fi di bus ride.

February 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

A fun part about doing shows is making the oft well thought out “transition” CD adding some of our favorite songs which, at times, function as an added joke to a previous scene or serves as a precursor for the comedy scene you are about to witness. Other times, it’s just a damn good song.

The song we are going to look at today has been in and out of our transition CD’s for about 6 months now. Quite popular, in fact. It’s Leo Sayer’s “The Show Must Go On.” Fitting. The song started out, in Lola’s transitional world, as a shout out to our dear friend Todd D’Addario after a long listen to one of his ever popular Monthly Mixtapes. From time to time we tend to do this. The old, “we know you’re out there friend.” So, for Todd, Leo, CD’s, and see dee’s nuts, we give you… Mr. Leo Sayer.

Or, if you’d like a more family friendly version.

Little Big League.

This one was passed along by our good friend Erik Bowie.

I should probably file this one under “I Am Legend,” however, I’m not quite sure who is legendary in this scenario. Romeo, the tiniest body builder in the world, or the Erik Bowie tiny hands responsible for making this little outfit?

This “story” comes from the Daily Mail and profiles Aditya ‘Romeo’ Dev who, as mentioned, is the world’s smallest bodybuilder.

Romeo said: “I’ve been training as a bodybuilder for the last two years and by now I think I must be the strongest dwarf in the world.

Oh? Really? Bradley is none to happy about that!

His trainer Ranjeet Pal spents hours helping his 19-year-old protege build his small muscles to perfection.

“Because of his small size, I don’t assign him hard exercises. But Romeo trains more or less the same as anyone else and he’s much more determined.

Yeah. Great. This guy lifts my remote control and he’s weightlifting. I lift it and I am “just sitting there getting fatter by the hour.”

I think it’s great what you’re doing, Ranjeet. I also think it’s pretty neat having instant weights around at all time.

Similar to our tipster, Erik Bowie, Romeo here has a dream to one day perform on stage with a flashy pop star.

“My dream is to travel a lot – I want to perform in London with my idol, Jazzy-B.”

Jazzy B’s camp had “nah comment, boi.” Come on, man. Give the little guy a hand. Hell, put him in your hand!

So, this goes to show that anyone can be anything. In fact, today, I am claiming the fine distinction of being the heaviest blogger on this site. You want it? Come and get it, Hill.
