Now one begins to come alive after a hard week in the sign of music. Tons of sweet rythms have been flushed through the ear canal, musical madness and other fun stuff, All this we will go through, starting from tomorrow, when one is human again. :-)

Today we will take a little quiet and listen to some great music, found a really cool video that fits well into today.

The promotional music video for "Lonely Boy" features actor/musician/part-time security guard Derrick T. Tuggle dancing to the song in the lobby of a motel. The video, shot in a single take, went viral and garnered more than 400,000 views on YouTube within 24 hours. According to Tuggle, who was cast as an extra, the video was originally supposed to have six or seven other people appear, along with the Black Keys who were set to hand the keys to their motel room to Tuggle. However, his improvised dancing on the set inspired a change to the video. He said, "The director just sort of noticed me dancing and asked me, 'Can you perform?' I said, 'I can dance, anybody can dance,' so I took some moves from everybody: John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction, the Carlton Banks dance from The Fresh Prince and a little bit of Michael Jackson, so it was a smorgasbord of everybody in there." He added, "It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. My acting teacher Mark McPherson, he has us do this thing before we start class called 'Song and Dance,' where he'll have us sing one of our favorite songs, and then while we're singing it, he'll have us do a crazy dance, or a sexy dance, and I guess it spawned from that."
