Great video and a lot of intersting background infos, that only a real music-geek like the one and only @roused can provide. I'm really happy, that you're able to share such quality stuff for the fun of it.
P.S.: Some time ago I realized, that art always fits with art, so I wouldn't wonder, if this Fred Astaire dance-moves would fit with lots of other different kinds of music.
That's an important realization that art fits with art. In a similar vein, contrasts and unexpected surprises make for good comedy and music -- art too? I suspect so.
I'm fearful this new proposed EU content law will make the showcasing of clips like this disappear. First the assault street art photography, and now this...
But on a positive note, you're right, lots of different music would work with Fred Astaire. I suspect he would have loved experiencing how that fact (and YouTube) allowed his art to live on.
I sometimes compare art with the negatively charged ions that can be found, for example, in high concentrations near a waterfall. Due to their negative charge, they are able to combine with exhaust gases and other substances and thus neutralize them. If art is able to connect with its environment, it has a similar purifying effect.
These upload filters are really terrible and encourage censorship and surveillance. Fortunately, they are eventually only used on large platforms. I think the government rather trusts AI networks, than any Phillipine censorship-agencies. In fact these upload filters are already in use on Youtube...
As sad as it sounds, these upload filters can even be good for the growth of Steemit and other censorship-resistant networks.
I've noticed a change on YouTube, lots of copyright holders now allow the use of their property, but then they claim the right to monetize it with ads. That seems like a win-win compromise to me.
I suspect politicians will eventually use the new EU law to prevent independent news sites from exposing hypocrisy, abuse of power, and deceit -- they will no longer be able to show clips of what they once said, vs what they later did.
I liked the waterfall example, the currents and vortexes are powerful!

Sorry for being a bit „off the grid“ this week. I’m preparing for a huge birthday party for my wife, who just entered a new decade ;-)
Great find :-) I didn‘t know that. Wished the party had been a bit more like this, but we had fun anyways.
Be safe ;-)
Lol :-) Luckily nothing like this happened. There was only a horde of kids, that stole all the bathroom keys. Still missing...
