The Little Girl Giant
The Little Girl Giant woke up in her deckchair at Horseguards Parade after another good nights sleep, took a shower from the Sultans Elephant, got dressed, and wandered off for a play in St James' Park.

Re: The Little Girl Giant
Looked to me to be at least six puppeteers operating that beast.

Very nice clip, BTW. Even though an obvious marionette, there were a couple of moments where the flight of fancy almost made me believe.

Re: The Little Girl Giant
What is this music? Must get it... what is it?

I can't see the video, something wrong with my Quicktime. Can I download a copy of girlparkplay500H264.mov somewhere?

Re: The Little Girl Giant
Thought much the same thing. A bit of googling the lyrics found this:
It Amazes Me - Cy Coleman / Carolyn Leigh

Re: The Little Girl Giant
Howdy there. Thought I'd help out with the music.

It's from the new Album 'Jules Verne Impact' by 'Les Balayeurs du Desert', a French band that was an integral part of the event in a little float accompanying everything.

They hit some good reggae beats in the sun too, but I think this is the best song on the album, and it suits the girl perfectly.

Re: The Little Girl Giant
That really sounds like Blossom Dearie singing, but I don't know about the remix.

Re: The Little Girl Giant
I did a check, and found the music; you are correct: It is Blossom Dearie singing "It Amazes Me". Well done on that call.
