1/14/10 - Jim Rotondo

Another song celebrating the flu. I am planning on going back to work today though.

Jim Rotondo is what is called a manualist, better known as a hand farter. Check out the wikipedia page for Manualism to get a list of some nationally exposed manualist. Of course, the one missing from this list is the one probably best known by the Dementia community, 'Musical Mike' Kieffer, from his work with Weird Al on songs like Headline News and I Love Rocky Road.

Here, Jim "Jimi Handtrix" Rotondo is doing a parody of Elvis' song, "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" called, "I Can't Help Calling in Sick With the Flu." It's an interesting video. Enjoy:



You can find more about Jim Rotondo at his Youtube, his webpage, and his AmIRight List with links to a lot of his other works and parodies that he has penned.
