When I was poor, I used to go to their rehearsals. It was cheap, sometimes the guy at the door would let us in for free (that was a long time ago). For the most part, those musicians were so professional that Maestro Fiedler never had to stop and correct them. If they had a singer or an accompanist, they'd sometimes stop to articulate their requirements, but for the most part those rehearsals were the same as the performances, except the orchestra wasn't dressed up.

Postmodern Jukebox covers songs in the "wrong" genre, usually a jazz style although they did do, "Blurred Lines," in a kind of country/bluegrass style which was good because there was no Robin Thicke, Pharrell, or ripping off Marvin Gaye.

Should also look at the 3 videos done with Puddles the Clown - a 6'8" sad clown with the golden voice.

the song and a group of adorable toddlers who are dancing to the song.

I can't recall loving a commercial before, but I love that one.
