Thursday Afternoon Diversion

Since "Hamster on a Piano" was such a hit on Tuesday, we're back with another inane YouTube-provided reason to avoid doing any sort of work for the rest of the day. It's Al Paradise! The 80's Italian variety show is known for its over-the-top choreography, but none of it is as awesomely ridiculous as "Fly To Paradise."

Bonus points for finding the scene where the guy in shiny red tights accidentally kicks the other guy in shiny red tights in the face.

Oh, and can anyone do that chicken dance?
