Smile...this is music...Do Re Mi.. Give it a chance to load..please..Flash Mob it is called..

You won't be the first to watch it..but it made me smile..happy...from a play..Sound of Music..and a movie..too...


The Sound of Music.... Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein...a famous team... wrote the music and the words to this song...



The Sound of Music, Rodgers and Hammerstein's last work together, told the story of the von Trapp family. Starring Mary Martin as Maria and Theodore Bikel as Captain von Trapp, it opened on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on November 16, 1959, garnering much praise and numerous awards. It has been frequently revived ever since. The show was made into a film in 1965 starring Julie Andrews as Maria and Christopher Plummer as the Captain. It won five Oscars, including best picture and best director, Robert Wise. Hammerstein died in August 1960, before the film was made, so when Rodgers wrote two extra songs for the film, he wrote the lyrics as well. The Sound of Music probably contains more hit songs than any other Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, likely because of the phenomenal success of the film version, which was the most financially successful film adaptation of a Broadway musical ever made. It also contained many memorable songs, including the title song, "Do-Re-Mi", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" "So Long, Farewell", "Sixteen Going on Seventeen", and "Edelweiss".

I do believe I recognized a bit of a dance from my favorite Michael Jackson video.
