I wonder how that rates against using a Mobile Phone while driving.

I can only imagine that they were interpretors, in order to hear & understand the music / lyric.

(incidentally - the embedding requires you to delete the 's' from 'https').

I enjoyed this Valerie, thanks, BUT, I wish the background landscape was pre-recorded & they were sitting in a non-moving vehicle. Not safe taking one's hands off the wheel & diverting attention at a high rate of speed.

They were really delightful, however!

I know, the hands off the wheel bothered me, too. He wasn't even driving with his knees like

I've known some people to do.

I don't know when the removing the 's' bit came up, but thanks to whomever fixed it, and I'll

likely just not bother in future and just do the link, more trouble than it's worth to me. Or

post it somewhere else!

It is not that difficult.

When you copy the URL of the video, and click the "Insert Video" icon, then paste the link into the window, before clicking the "OK", just edit the link in that window so that it begins with "http://..." instead of "https://..." Then, click the "OK" button.

Sorry but I think I need an explanation.

These people are obviously not deaf, but they are signing along to a song.

So the performance is meant for those that are deaf ?

She is a sign language interpreter.

Oh, I got it Lars, it's just I never had to do that before, so it's a mild irritant

I won't bother myself with, that's all. Ho-hum, limit time online and all.

My take on it is they have already read the lyrics, and often times 'deaf'

is a matter of degree, and besides which, they often can feel beat through

the floor, car seat, whatever.

Yes I see what you mean, but I looked at another video, the ones that come up at the end, I didn't watch much, but he did talk.

Your version is the.......most endearing.

My Cousin's (ex) wife is totally deaf, and has been from birth. However when my Father remarried (less than a year after the passing of my Mother) she was able to dance to the music, as my Father was the type who was into Heavy Metal, with everything turned up to the limits, and she could feel the vibration hitting her (as could I from down the street - I can't handle noise).

That is so cute!

I took sign language and for our final we had to "sing" a song. Mine was "How Great Thou Art" and we had to sing it with feeling. For one test we all went to the Waffle House ( for all non Americans, it's a diner that is open 24/7) to eat supper and we could not talk. We signed to the waitress and to each other. That was fun!

That is a wonderful story! I'm wondering, though, do non Americans know what a diner is?

I found an American-style diner in Harrogate, some years back. There are probably a few of them around Europe.

I always thought it would be interesting to start a Waffle House Franchise in Europe.

Though a true Diner is a very American thing.

Was it called a Diner? That's what I meant.

It's 'cos Americans can't spell Dinner.

No, actually, it was called "The Damn Yankee"

But I hear there are a number of diners cropping up in London and Manchester, these days.

I may have work up a diner tour on my next trip over.
