Is there K3 on Mars?

Every time everybody gets worked up writing comments arguing about politics, my inclination is to post a K3 video. Not as punishment, even if you feel that way! 😉

The Belgians of French Wallonia and Dutch Flanders don’t get along, so it’s nice when Karen, Kristel and Kathleen do something that’s a bit Frenchy, as in this thoroughly delightful homage to Georges Méliès. This is one of their softer tunes. As you can see, Kristel was pregnant at the time. Watch this and fall in love with the three K’s. And if you don’t, well…. there’s just no hope for you! 🙁

K3 Hoes Down

Is there a K3 video that I don’t like? Yes! The one where they get pig noses.

Giving Karen, Kristel and Kathleen pig noses and ears is just too weird, and I prefer to listen to, but not see, “Biggetjes”.

Global Reach

A guilty pleasure of mine is looking through the Global Industrial catalog whenever it shows up at work. It has almost everything. Hasn’t everybody imagined decorating their living room like a doctor’s office reception area?

Reception Area Furniture

How about lockers for the mud room? And wouldn’t one of these magazine racks be great, assuming you still get magazines?

But what I really have my eye on is the pre-engineered mezzanine…

I want to get one for the backyard, so when K3 come to visit they can address the admiring throngs below, like they do in Belgium and the Netherlands. 😉

K3 in Holland

Like Yo’ Mama Sees You

K3 did three shows in the Netherlands on Friday! They’re doing three more on Saturday, and then again on Sunday! Lucky Dutchies. How about a couple of K3 tunes with “Mama” in the title?

I know, I know, almost sounds like a jingle for a commercial, but I still like it. Give the studio recording a listen.

K3 has a nifty tune called “Ye Mama Ziet Graag”, or “Like Your Mama Sees You”. I featured a live performance at this link, and here’s the video for it.

An alternate take was used for the video. The CD version goes easy on the Dixieland sound until the end.
