Shaquille O'Neall Conduct The Boston Pops
Shaquille O'Neal has done a lot of wacky things throughout his career, from attempting to rap to starring in the abomination known as Kazaam.
But Shaq, the music conductor? You betcha.
Last night at Boston's Symphony Hall, the Boston Celtic donned his finest black and white tuxedo and made his "conducting debut."
O'Neal led the Boston Pops Orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in "Sleigh Ride" at the Holiday Pops Concert.
I gotta admit, this was much better than anything we saw when Shaq played a genie.
You can tell he's about 0.03 seconds from busting out laughing while he's conducting the orchestra.

1000 Japanese singing - U Boj
This very popular tune was brought to Japan by Croatian mariners (then within Austrian-Hungarian army), immediately after the end of the WWI. Namely, while retreating from the Russian Far East front, a taifoon carried their ship to Japanese coast near Kobe. The Japanese liked very much "U BOJ" sung by Croatian mariners, and since then it became very popular throughout Japan.
