you might be surprised to hear …

That I really only have this to say about last night’s gymnastics competition:

Russian gymnast Anna Pavlova performs her floor exercise to a disco version of the theme from Exodus, that most syncopated of all movies.

Carry on.

  1. We sang the theme from Exodus when I was in 8th grade choir. Why 200 white Midwestern Christian kids were singing “This land is mine, God gave this land to me, this great and ancient land to me. . .” is beyond my ken.

  2. Maybe the Israelites were leaving Egypt for Xanadu?

    And on a related note, how much would you pay to invert this idea, and have a klezmer version of “Got to Believe We Are Magic”?

  3. Ha ha! I heard the opening measures and ran to the TV because I couldn’t believe it was true.

    Then again, somebody I work with visited Russia with his wife (who was born there) about two years ago and said they could use a couple of “Hot Topic” stores, so, why not?
