log drivers waltz pleases girls completely



i have very poignant memories of watching this canadian vignette in primary school. i think we watched it during recesses that were spent indoors due to inclement weather. it was always a treat. i loved thinking about floating down the river on a log.

for some reason this song popped into my head this morning, probably because of the drizzle. today is looking like it will be one long indoor recess.

  1. I wish my dance pleased girls completely...

    I have to jump in with a recommendation. This short and 100's of others are offered on the National Film Boards super-awesome-fuck-copyright-norms-website.

    Remember Paddle to the Sea
    everyone's favorite educational film about watersheds? Or the excellent animated short The Cat Came Back?

    Or how about checking out the forestry industry in T-Bay at the time of your birth? Look no further than the short doc The Forest in Crisis. Spoiler: Beardmore looks the same!
    Lots of modern stuff too. I recommend a browsing all then sorting by popularity...

    Yup.. Do people really pay for cable?

  4. I think they played it on YTV sometimes? Or maybe TVO? My grandad was actually a log-driver at one point, so I always loved this too!
