Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Hi Diane, I made quite a few suggestions last week. Thanks for using one of them (Thin Lizzy) today.
Can you refer back to that list or do you need me to copy it into this week’s messages? 😃
Speaking of great Irish bands, are you familiar with the Cranberries featuring the late great Dolores O'Riordan? They have a powerful song called Zombie, which touches on the IRA and Northern Ireland.
Look for the official video, it's quite sad, yet powerful and moving. It has 1.4B views
Please check out “Beauty and the Beast” by Stevie Nicks ❤
I have been a Thin Lizzy fan for decades. I was quite saddened by Phil's passing many years ago.
One hit wonder?! Live and Dangerous was double-platinum in the UK, and they had four other gold albums.
you tell em. Well said! all are hits from Thin Lizzy Imho
Said by an American notice. That's because they don't count the rest of the world as people! 😜
Thin Lizzy f'kin rules, best band ever!
@@_MjG_ who gives a fuck what the billboard top whatever says, they know music about as well as the Rock n roll Hall of fame...Thin Lizzy is the greatest rock n roll band ever with the greatest front man ever. Listen to the Black Rose, Fighting, Bad Reputation and Jailbreak albums. Every song is a hit on those albums. And I'm from Canada not Ireland so not coming from a nationalist view, just reality
Never made it here in the States and that is criminal!!!!
This is their most well-known song, but you must check out "Jailbreak", and my favorite, "The Cowboy Song".
Emerald, Still in love with you, rosaĺie,???
Phil Lynott is a freaking Legend for so many reasons more than the obvious
As a first-generation American, I learned many an Irish song from my mother. My mind was completely blown by TL's version of "Whiskey In The Jar". It's very, very different to the version you'll hear in pubs, yet super-catchy and rockin'!
Also... Covered by Metlica. Yes they covered the TL version, not the original, and gave credit to Phil Lynott/TL.
I was visiting Dublin once and a street musician on Grafton Street was playing Whiskey in the Jar on electric guitar (brilliantly, I might add). I will never forget that... such a purely Irish moment.
As an Englishman the Thin Lizzy version is the default and the one played in bars.
This song and a few others off the album is about a Manchester gang from the 60s a few get a mention in the songs and were known to Phil's mum.
Another occasional member of Thin Lizzy was Irish guitarist Gary Moore. Gary was an incredible guitarist who later shifted from hard rock into the blues. He and Phil collaborated on a number of songs, including Parisienne Walkways. There is an incredible live version with Phil on vocals and bass. Another big Gary Moore song is Still Got the Blues if you want to hear his later career, or the song "Over the Hills and Far Away" which featured Irish folk band The Chieftains. That song has spawned numerous covers.
One of the greatest rock bands of all time
If you like Thin Lizzy, check out their "cowboy song". I am from Wyoming, and we are the "Cowboy State". Rodeos, ranches, and wide open spaces, so this song really fits. Good times in the summer!
Love it.
Been to your state ( I`m a New Yorker) a couple of times when going west and it is friggin beautiful!!!! I am not a "city boy" but upstate N.Y., and there are acres and acres of farmland here,, but the sky out in the open spaces west are unbelievable!. When I am in Arizona I feel like I can reach and grab a handful of stars (or satellites) cuz the sky seems less remote as it does on the east coast. Cheers!
Cowboy song is a legendary song. Even Anthrax did a version.
th-cam.com/video/kCNNMkVNKf4/w-d-xo.html
Their "Live and Dangerous" album is incredible.Every song is great! Including " Johnny the Fox meets Jimmy the Weed".Its really funky.
I must have listened to it 1000 times. I never listened to "The Boys are Back" unless I listened to the lead-in "Cowboy Song". Then I'd play the two over and over while driving. Drove my wife crazy when we got married. She threatened to break the tape.
Fantastic live album and a great groovin' song. Another favorite of mine from the 'Johnny the Fox' album is "Borderline".
@@bookhouseboy280 Metallica recently covered 'Borderline' on an acoustic session. Is on TH-cam
I "grew up" with that live album. My English table tennis coach used to play it during training. Such an awsome album with the guitar duells.
Regards from the Netherlands!
That and "Strangers In The Night"
So much more to Thin Lizzy than the few hit songs, Phil was a brilliant song writer and the whole Lizzy catalogue should be listened to.
Was just listening to Them as I worked out in gym. Great motivational music!
It's missing the part where the chick got up and slapped Johnny's face and they just fell about the place.
If that chick don’t wanna go, forget ‘er.
Fun fact!! There's actually a Dinos bar and grill in Marlow a few yards down the road from the record shop where I first purchased "JailBreak" 😃
Right!? Arguably the best part!! 😆🤣
This song used to be on a mixtape in my parent's car and we'd always cycle through it on longer car trips. Thanks for the hit of nostalgia!
Aww 🥰 my mom’s “All Women” album does that for me
Can you make up your mind, either you're in a car or on a bicycle, now which one is it.
@@DianeJennings : yes, I remember your mom, we all did at the Rugby Club.
I have this one, "Cowboy Song", "Jailbreak", "Emerald", and "Don't Believe A Word" in my library, all good songs by Thin Lizzy. Phil had a unique voice that often sounded more like speaking than singing. One of the greats. RIP
Jailbreak was great, Blackrose was epic.
HUGE band during my H.S. days.
Love Phil, incredible frontman. Terribly underappreciated.
Couple of my favorite songs of theirs are Jailbreak and the Cowboy songs . The live version of Cowboy song / The Boys Are Back In Town is awesome . Great reaction .
'Don't Believe A Word' is fab' also 😊
7:35 Thin Lizzy version of Whiskey In The Jar (charted at 6 in UK) charted higher than The Boys Are Back In Town (charted at 8 in UK). Both where number 1s in Ireland.
I’m not surprised!
That’s why Whiskey was on my list last week. While it’s probably a song you hear regularly in Ireland’s pubs, it’s rare to your audience here.
Our local, classic rock radio station used to play that song for years. I always imagine singing to the original centuries ago in a Pub and what that would be like.
@@peterjamesfoote3964Peter, I'll bet more of us than you think remember it from when it cane out and was on...gasp!...the radio...🙃
@@DianeJenningsthe other reason it may be familiar to Americans is that it was used in a commercial for the restaurant chain Applebee's
"Dancing in the moonlight" always gets me. And "Romeo and Juliet" Thin Lizzy is fabulous.
I've always been a Thin Lizzy fan...he has a great voice! Thanks for the listen! Your friends from northeast Florida 🌅😎
A great story about Phil Lynnot. He was once asked by a reporter "what's it like to be black and Irish?" his answer was "like a pint of Guinness"
Diane…you made my day! The greatest band EVER! Funny story: when I was 16, I had tickets to see Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, Lizzy was opening. I knew nothing about Thin Lizzy. Didn’t know what they sounded like , looked like or where they were from. My buddy and I were hanging out where the buses were part, hoping to meet Blackmore. There was a tall, black guy talking to some girls and he had an Irish brogue. I went up to him and asked if he was from Ireland. He said yes and asked me who I was there to see. I replied Rainbow. He said “I’d keep me eye on the support band…I hear they’re cracken. When they introduced the opening band, I realized I met Phil Lynott! Wonderful memory . Long live Phil! Long Live Lizzy!!!! Love your channel!
😅
Thin Lizzy Boys are back in town are the only song I heard of the band on the classic rock radio stations. I enjoyed listening to the song with You as You discovered it on the music journey. Thanks for making Rock On Party On Wednesdays Very Joyful. 🎵🎸🎤
Rock on Wednesday 😂 I like that! Glad you enjoyed it Rickey
@@DianeJennings 😂Glad you like the phrase 🎉🍕
This is a party song, but I think your brother enjoyed it more than I ever did. I'd always wondered who the boys were and where they had been. Thanks Diane. Van Morrison is a big yes from me!
And he is in Reaction jail for at least the next 28 days… Blocked on first try
The boys had been in jail
The first song on the album is called jailbreak
After that the boys are back in town
thanks
The song was missing the part where he whispers, "the boys are back. The boys are back" and then it goes into a solo/bridge part. It's harmonizing guitar solos with a cool bass part under it and it is one of my favorite parts (my band used to cover this song back in the '80s).
Yep, single or radio edit.
And the bit in the live version
"The boys are back in town -
Get your knickers down"
It's changed up a lot from the album version. I'm guessing, since this appears to be for a TV show performance, that they had to make it fit the time allotted.
I’m sure you’ve heard of Rory Gallagher from Cork, and Gary Moore from Belfast who was once a member of Thin Lizzy, two Blues Rockers who were lost far too young. If you haven’t, check out Rory’s 1974 Irish tour and anything from Gary live at Montreaux Jazz festival. Loved your reaction!❤️ Cheers from the USA!
Also never forget Bernie Torme
Gary Moore just freaking Wow! SRV ONE of the best players of Fender Straocasters guitars and Gary Moore. one of the best players of Gibson Les Paul's! And From my home town of Gilroy( San Fransico Bay areaCal USA)close to FIGHTING OUT OF blues corner! HIS HOMETOWN OF Hayward California, Dave Meneketi( Yand T) His solo album "On the blue side" worth a listen. I promise you will not be disappointed!
@@Cyberfender1 Y ant T melts your face!! Been seeing them since the "Black Tiger" tour. Dave is just amother amazing player/ songwriter
Diane, it's so much fun watching your music journey. This one came out in 1976 when I was 16 and I always liked it. I didn't really know much about the band itself, so it was nice to learn more about them. Great reaction!
Was 14 then
One of my influences when I started out was Thin Lizzy. They had such a fantastic sound.
God I loved covering their songs on stage.
Oohh classic! The band had so much style in that video 😎 The 70's vibes are strong ✨
Tin Lizzie was a nickname in the US for the model T Ford automobile back in the day. That is probably where the name of the comic book character came from.
“We were throwing around ideas for a name after a rehearsal one night,” added Downey, “and Eric suggested Tin Lizzie, who was a character in [children’s comic magazine] ‘The Dandy.'”
The name eventually stuck, and Bell switched the spelling to Thin Lizzy, a playful reference to the local accent of their hometown of Dublin, Ireland, which would have pronounced “Thin” as “T’in.”
“We all laughed at that one,” he added. “But the next day, we were still trying to come up with a name, but nothing seemed right, so Eric again put forward Tin Lizzie. As we had nothing better, we thought why not. It was also Eric who changed the spelling to Thin Lizzy.”
I saw a great documentary about Phil Lynott, really good, kinda sad, the interviews with his mother are really heartbreaking but she was so relentlessly positive and supported her son completely. This song was on the radio in the U.S. constantly, still is on classic rock channels. Another great video. Diane likes long haired guitar players. 🤩 Btw, I think Nick Drake might be a good one to feature, his song Pink Moon from the album of the same name is great.
Not typically 😂 he caught my eye but not… like that
😆@@DianeJennings
I always wished they would play more than one song from this band on classic rock radio in the U.S. Sometimes they play Jailbreak, but Angel From The Coast, Emerald, Bad Reputation, Thunder and Lightning, Dancing In The Moonlight, Chinatown, and so much more is thereto choose.
@@wesleybush8646 all those and Fightin’.
@@DianeJenningsI don't remember him being a 70s sex symbol. But I was younger....
Hello Diane. Great to see your reaction to a great song. Thin Lizzy were huge, also a huge part of my early musical education. Yes, this is a really upbeat shout it from the rooftops anthem, but Lizzy could also be stunningly soulful in their ballads. You've got to check out the live version of "Still in love with you". The song just drips with heartfelt emotion and combined with Brian Robertson's magnificent guitar solo it just brings me to tears thinking about the girls that could have been the one. For me it's their best piece of work ever. Robertson (Robbo) was only 17 when he joined the band and he was shit hot even then. Check it out please.
I was 18 in '80 and a big rick fan. Lizzy were great rockers, but good lyrics and very melodic.
It is great watching your rock education, and it is greatly improving mine too, as although I know the songs from way back in the day, you bring so much more than I ever knew about the bands, the background of the songs and stories of the band members.
I learned a lot today about thin lizzy that I never knew about the song or band. Also cool you got meet a family member of the band.
always loved Thin Lizzy! Phil was amazing as well as the entire band!
I like your reactions! Also that last bit of info is great. Please keep them up, so many songs to choose from!
Many years ago, the Dallas Cowboys football team did use this song as the new season started one year.
Great Reaction! I like “Jailbreak” the song best of theirs. They Rocked!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Ken!
An Irish rite of passage, indeed! In the U.S. when I grew up, this song was embraced by two or three generations. Those that came home after WWII or the Korean conflict and those that came home from the Viet Nam war. Warriors after conflict rely on each other to feel more normal after experiencing the horrors of war.
I was lucky enough to see Thin Lizzy on the tour for this song, Jailbreak Album when they opened for Queen at the LA Forum March 3 1977
Any day you learn something new is a good day! Your Reactions are a joy to me and Entertaining as well.Cheers From Chicago Illinois!!!
You should definitely listen to their version of Whiskey in the Jar. It's an interesting take with a rock sound, but the lyrics sung much slower than is traditionally done. It's always cool to hear irish bands try their own version of traditional songs that were likely their introduction to music. These guys were the right age to have heard some of those great old bands like the Dubliners on television and radio while growing up.
I have to say I think you're doing an amazing thing by checking out all these songs and widening your musical knowledge and you've had some absolute classics on so far
My first job was in a hire shop. In 1983 we had a call for two scaffold towers to the Ipswich Odeon. Thin Lizzy were playing that night and they needed extra stage for their huge PA. Passes were given and the gig was amazing.
I like watching your reaction to hearing new/ old songs. I also like that you let us hear the song, then hear your reaction
This song launched then into the limelight in the UK in the 70s but before this came their rework of the Irish folk song Whisky In The Jar and after it came the much better Lizzy penned songs Jailbreak, Don't Believe a Word and Dancing In The Moonlight. Also their cover of Rosalie is well worth a listen. All of these are gems from way back when and really there was nothing that sounded anything like Phil's part sing part spoken verses. Happy days.
Whiskey in a far was a traditional Irish folk song originally being spoken. Thin lizzy among others recorded it most recently being performed by Metallica on their Garage Inc. Album.this being my favorite version.
Thin lizzy created the rock version of this traditional song. Phil and Eric Bell are responsible for these arrangements. And it was this version that was covered by Metallica, because the first bassist was a fan of the band and this song.
Saw them live many times. Brilliant live band. Live and Dangerous album fantastic
Seen them in Cleveland in 79. Part of the world series of rock .
Diane, you are such a pro. You are making these videos seem effortless, which I'm sure they're not. You look comfortable and like you're having fun. They are certainly fun to watch. Good on you!
I will paraphrase an interview with Phil, who was once asked what it was like to “be Irish and Black”. Phil answered it’s “like Guinness - smooth.”
🍀🎸 (I wrote before finish of video!)
Thin Lizzy has been nominated for the Rock Hall of Fame, twice…after years of being eligible…they are not yet in. (I’ve voted in the fan vote, for each nomination) Lizzy should have been in the Rock Hall, years ago. 🙄🎸
I've heard this song since forever but never knew they were Irish. Thanks for sharing!
From the U.S., “The Boys are Back in Town” was the only Top 40 hit for Thin Lizzy in this country (so, the person writing what you are reading, Diane, is definitely writing that from perspective of the U.S. charts only). Although not hits here in the states, Thin Lizzy’s version of “ Whiskey In a Jar” (originally from The Dubliners) and the band’s “Jailbreak” (which you might want to do a video listen to) were staples of U.S. Album Rock stations, and continue to be staples of U.S. Classic Rock stations over 45 years after their release, & are now quite popular in this country. Another Irish band you might want to check out is the punk, later early new wave band, The Undertones, who were quite popular on many very late 70’s, and early 80’s U.S. alternative Rock stations. The Undertones were from Northern Ireland.
This band probably had more UK popularity in the day. This song was popular but not a big hit in the U.S. It deserved more attention. One of the great power ballads of the '80's.
One of the all time great bands. Such an incredible groove in all their songs.
Such an incredible band!
You know the only thing better than a killer guitar solo? A killer guitar duet!
I have been a fan of Thin Lizzy since I was in high school, I discovered them shortly after Lynott's death actually, and have been a huge fan ever since and I'm glad you've finally taken to them too. I definitely recommend giving Whiskey in the Jar a listen it is an iconic tune for them that though they remade it in their own way it has become the basis of so many modern renditions. And yes, in his day in the rock scene, Phil Lynott was a heartthrob despite being bi-racial.
Great Band! Diane, your channel is the perfect blend of listening to the song and commenting intra-song. Whiskey In A Jar, is required listening.
"Cold Sweat" is one of my favs from this band.
Thanks Diane! I have heard this song before but had no idea that Thin Lizzy had an Irish background or that they were that old of a band. Always thought their music was from the 80's or 90's. Good to know!
We are learning stuff together. Hooray.🎉
@@DianeJenningsabsolutely!
Can't fault you for thinking that, Phil and Lizzy were ahead of their time. Metallica took their sound from Lizzy.
The first time I heard "Whiskey in a Jar", it was Metallica's version. I, later, heard the original, and finally Thin Lizzy's. I think they're all good in their own ways.
When I first heard they were Irish, many years ago, I was blown away. Catchy tune!
I was fortunate enough to do some vocals for Gary Moore in London many years back and got to know him fairly well over a few beers after the recording sessions on a number of occasions. Gary was an absolutely superb human being, humorous, humble, kind and very down to earth, He always spoke so highly of Phil Lynott. They are both sorely missed.
I love love love Thin Lizzy. (I suppose back in the 1970s, I was a meathead brother...) Hanging out at Dino's Bar & Grill and blasting out my favorite song on the jukebox is on my Rock 'n Roll bucket list. I assume it's entirely invented for the song, but surely since then someone has opened a place using the name.
As for the performance, either they are lip-synching to the studio record, or they are uncannily good at recreating it live. My guess is lip-synching for a TV appearance.
Yes, Lynott died young due to complications from a heroin addiction. Ah, you looked it up.
If you revisit Thin Lizzy in a future video, I suggest Cowboy Song (my favorite Thin Lizzy song, and one of my favorites by any artist), Jailbreak, Dancing in the Moonlight (NOTE: There is another song with the same title by King Harvest. They are both good, but are entirely different songs), or Whiskey In the Jar.
They count as a "one hit wonder" in the United States because they only had one song that broke the Top 40 here, although several of their songs have remained popular on classic rock radio. They had numerous hits in Ireland and the UK, though.
As far as suggesting songs for future reactions, I'm torn between songs that are very well known (for better TH-cam numbers) and maybe those that are a bit less mainstream, because some of those are very cool.
Suggest both! There’s no character limit… At least I haven’t been there to be one? Oh, that’s a good question is there a character limit on TH-cam?… I don’t know!
Happy Wednesday Diane! This Lizzy is definitely Not a one hit wonder. Highly recommend their songs Jailbreak, The Cowboy Song and Emerald. Dancing in the Moonlight is another good one too!
Ohhhh dancing in the Moonlight… Was that released as a cover by another band in the 2000s?
@@DianeJennings A band called Toploader did a cover of the 70s King Harvest song Dancing in the Moonlight which is a great song too! Also Elga Fox from Try/Facts does a great cover of Thin Lizzy's Dancing in the Moonlight.
Thank you Diane for taking us with you in your musical discovery tour. And please give Chewy some boops. He is a good boy.🐶❣😊
Finally you made it to Thin Lizzy. The band is named after the female robot in the Comic. And the robot is named after the Ford Model T (Nickname Tin Lizzy) which first appeared in 1908 and was the first mass produced car.
Actually, Oldsmobile had the first American mass produced car in 1901, the curved dash Oldsmobile. 425 units were built in the first year, and production lasted until 1907. However, Ford had the first affordable car, the Model T, which cost three months salary in 1908, with production lasting until 1927.
@@dougbrowning82OK, let's say the Tin Lizzy was the first mass produced car on an assembly line...🤓
Hi Diane! This is a great reaction. I can tell you love this song! I do too! ❤
I couldn’t help noticing that there was an entire verse missing. It has to do with one of the “Boys” trying to pick up a woman and being rejected. I don’t know if you did that or if this was just the version you listened to. Either way, in my opinion it shouldn’t be controversial. I still enjoyed what I saw, but I was disappointed at the end. I consider myself old fashioned. I don’t want to hear graphic lyrics or gross acts in a song, but I’m also not into the newer cancel culture censorship either. I think the song needs to be played as it was recorded at the time of its popularity.
I want to finish positively by saying I really like you and your channel. We’re all just people with different perspectives on things, and I’m just sharing some of mine.
Who ever said they were a one hit wonder is tone deaf!
Diane, you just crack me up in many ways, Cheers girl
Such a fun song Diane. Don't think of this journey in terms of how little you know. Think of it as how much there is to discover. Each new to you song opens a wonderful world of new experiences to treasure.
Good video, and say hi to Editor Diane for me. She's an Irish national treasure.
As for a band recommendation, Steely Dan is amazing. My favorite song is FM. But their most popular is either Reelin' in the Years, or Do It Again. Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong.
I was a young guy "from back in the day" and yes, the girls loved Phil!
In Russia, rock live under you.
Be that as it may, I love how we always learn about all those bands together. :)
😂😂😂 Russia sounds a lot like Yoda! I’m so glad when people take these videos the right way. I enjoy learning about them with you guys.
I've been a fan of Thin Lizzy since mid-70s and my mother who was born in Galway instilled in me a great love for anything Irish including the melancholy memories because of her off always loved Irish musicians and bands if you haven't ever heard or reacted to Rory Gallagher I'd love to see your reaction to him
Happy Wednesday Diane! I have never heard of Tin Lizzie but this particular song I have heard over the end credits of the film "The Expendables". You look like you were having fun with the reaction. 👋😎
One of my favorite bands out of the 70s. It broke my heart when Phil died.
Such a great band, I'm glad you got to finally check them out for the first time. They do a great rendition of Whiskey in the Jar, and had so many great songs.
Another great Irish band to check out is Stiff Little Fingers, their Inflammable Material LP is one of the all-time great punk rock records
As is Nobody's heroes.
Thanks for playing Thin Lizzy Diane.
love thin lizzy. born in the 60S and have loved this band for a very long time.
They were a great band and great live, they have so many cool songs, "Johnny the Fox..." is awesome
Awesome! Im swedish and was brought up on Lizzy. They were always big over here among us "hard rockers". It will always be my No1 band. I got to see them in Gothenburg 1983 on their farewell tour. Lynott was such a great songwriter. He died way too soon.
I remenber the day when I listen Dedication for the first time. My mind blowed! The very best band around the world!
A real Golden Oldie. Very popular back in the day. Thanks for sharing. 😊🎉❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues (Live) ... This song has been my ringtone for years. From one of the top all time great guitarist and vocals . Gary Moore (4 April 1952 - 6 February 2011) was a Northern Irish musician. He was also in Thin Lizzy from 1974 to 1979
This song is was always playing in the background when I first started riding my motorcycle to several bbq and beer festivals around the start of warmer weather.
HUGE fan! So lucky I saw them back in the day. Phil was one of a kind.
One of my all time favorite bands , have all their albums. Yes , I getting old !
Tin Lizzie was also a popular name for the Ford Model T automobile of 1908.
Nice video 😊
In fact when my football team, Brøndby IF, is in another town to play, we often use the song, when us fans are arriving 😊
Seen them twice; first time in Lund, Sweden 1979 on their Black Rose tour and second time in 1989. R.I.P. Phil Lynott!❤
I like your dancing moves to the boys are back in town lyrics, Rock On! 🤘🎸🎵
Thanks for reacting to it Diane!
No problem 😊
Warm early summer nights, when the bar kept it's doors open, the sound of Harleys rolling in . The music playing from the jukebox, smokey air and being young in the 70's. Yeah lived it all was freaking awesome
I spent 20 years in the Navy. I think every ship I was on played that song when we returned to our home port after a cruise. I spent a night drinking pints in Dublin once as well! Good Time...
ah man you're in for a real treat! You've been missing out!
Luv ur reaction 😊
I remember being stationed in Germany back in the late 70s, and a close fiend of mine loved Thin Lizzy. He would always blast this particular song in his van when we were heading to our favorite hangout. Good times. 😊
The Boys of Summer, in Don Henley's song, were baseball players. So, I always thought that the song saying it's almost summer, and the boys are back in town referred to ball players. I guess in England, footballers would be more common than baseball players.
Thin Lizzy had many hits and so many bands have covered them. Even Metallica has a great cover of Whiskey in the Jar.
Great video, Diane.
Saw Thin Lizzy live twice back in the late 1970’s. Still rate them as one of the top bands I’ve ever seen.
I like that you listen to the entire song without pausing. So many people ruin the experience by talking and reviewing the song before they've listened to it all.
while watching a great reaction video to a fun song, imagined Editor Diane and Chewie dancing to the music.
