Today’s music video

In which Michael Winslow (the once and always Officer Sound Effects from the “Police Academy” movies) almost singlehandedly replicates Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love,” complete with rip-roaring guitar solo, solely with his mouth.

Doug Hackney, who alerted me to this, asked in an email, “Can you explain this?” To which I replied:

“Yes. Here is the explanation: He is phenomenal. Phenomenal meaning ‘of or pertaining to phenomena.’ See: burning bush; modern rain of frogs; and other inexplicable vagaries. Thanks for sending this. It’s always good to be reminded that jaw-dropping accomplishments and seeming impossibilities walk alongside us every day.”

(Even with all this, though, I wouldn’t want to see any more “Police Academy” movies.)
