Relatedly there’s the wonderful* world of German schlager music. It’s got accordions, dirndls, polka rhythms, people in German folk attire dancing in conga lines, etc. Schlager is a mainstay of the Eurovision Song Contest and schlager rears its head in some Abba songs (e.g. “Chiquitita”).

It’s one of my favorites too. I re-watched that clip recently and was blown away all over again. Ann Wilson’s singing is so powerful and nuanced—and that big reveal near the end, when the backdrop curtain rises on the enormous gospel choir! Oh my!

Another Kennedy Center Honors favorite: Aretha Franklin singing “Natural Woman” for Carole King. I revisit this one from time to time too, it always gets me.

I don’t know much about bunnies, but I’m very sorry that the mommy bunny has decided to nest her young on Redford’s turf. That is an extremely poor parenting choice, mommy bunny.

Per this Reddit discussion: unfortunately it’s all but impossible to successfully relocate a rabbit nest, because if the kits (baby rabbits) are moved the mother will abandon them, but you could save the kits with the help of a rabbit rehabber (i.e. a Ross for rabbits).
