See, this is how something goes viral. I saw this video HERE, and while the connection to heroes may be un poquito tenuous, novels and heroes and publishing are actually mentioned in the first verse, so there is a connection. It’s creative, and there’s a naked hero or two (or three) in it, and so it’s quite apropos, don’t you think?
Happy Tuesday, all you Naked Hero lovers!

Hold Your Horses! 70 Million lyrics
And it hardly looked like a novel at all,
I hardly look like a hero at all
And I’m sorry, you didn’t publish this
And you were white as snow; I was white as a sheetWhen you came down in this black dress
In your mom’s black maternity dress
And so,
Though it hardly looked like a novel at all,
And the city treats me, it treats me to you
And a cup of coffee for you
I should learn it’s language and speak it to youAnd 70 million should be in the know
And 70 million don’t go out at all
And 70 million wouldn’t walk this street
And 70 million would run to a hole
And 70 million would be wrong wrong wrong
And 70 million never see it at all
And 70 million haven’t tasted snowAnd we dance dance dance like the children dance
Imply thought are we taking the chance?
With the light still on, and will we ever reach the towerAnd after you came down in this black dress
I don’t know what took so very long
And this,
And this isn’t a war, we don’t have to ration
Now wave white flag, and you kept it at home
And words I wrote from a foreign land
You’re holding my no longer foreign handAnd 70 million should be in the know
And 70 million don’t go out at all
And 70 million wouldn’t walk this street
And 70 million would run to a hole
And 70 million would be wrong wrong wrong
And 70 million never see it at all
And 70 million haven’t tasted snow
Your Herculean Task:
How many paintings did you actually recognize in the video? (My first time through, I counted maybe 8 but I’m on a mission now!)

I think I counted around 32, since the Andy Warhol I counted as six, but some were twice and I didn’t count them twice. This was fun!!! And I liked the video. Since I was a art history major my freshman year in college, I actually recognized some of the artist too..I’ve still got it!!!!
[Reply]
WOW!!!! I love that! I could not keep up w/the paintings but there were a bunch!

That was fun. What a catchy tune.

That was fun! I recognized most of the paintings. I’ll have to watch it again to catch the ones I missed.

Loved the catchy tune and the splashes of color. Always
loved the “masters.” NH needs a littler ditty to hum
around the house…like I’ll be doing this afternoon. How
about …
When you come down, in your white flowing gown
He’ll be waiting at the gate with a frown upside down
And this,
And this I can tell, we don’t have a clue
Where this will lead, but this is for true
Leave the candle lit and hold on tight
To your NAKED HERO and dance all night
Then 70 million will be in the know
And 70 million will come back for mo
Thanks Misa for such a jaunty surprise!
