    I love the creativity of this fandom!
    Chocolate Egg, I never would have thought of this song with S&H, but your choice of scenes and seamless timing make them perfect together. Thank you!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      No, thank YOU, MatSir. Now that I’ve figured out even the basics of vidding I’m going crazy with all the weird songs in my mind that I want to use.

      Thanks so much for your comment!

  2. Terri Meyer says:

    Ha! How clever! Amazing what will work with S&H right down to the safety pin. Enjoyed this and thank you for including the lyrics. Very effective!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      The safety pin blew my mind. I searched for it in the Compendium and was amazed when it turned up.
      It was Flamingo’s idea to add the lyrics. Mama Bird knows best!

      I appreciate your comment, Terri. You know I love your vids!

    Fantastic! “Annie” is super special to me, I did the German voice for one of the orphans back in the early 80’s. Loved Annie and her friends ever since. Now in combination with our boys I am over the moon!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      I’ve always loved this scene and the song sticks in the mind. How cool that you were an Annie orphan! Delighted I could send you into orbit. πŸ˜‰

  4. Dawn Rice says:

    This was so much fun! I love Annie ( well , all musicals, really). Perfect clips for the lyrics. I particularly liked k if we grow oe if we shrink” with Starsky and Hutch bobbing up and down.

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thanks, Dawn! I’m a fan of musicals myself. I saw it live when it first started touring. That clip comes from ‘Losing Streak’ which I had watched not long before making the vid so it was fresh in my mind. It’s fun to find something off the wall like that and make it work. So glad you liked it!

  5. Lapfordlass says:

    Would never have thought of this song but it was a great choice. Great fun!

  6. Lisa A says:

    Great job! Who would have thought of β€œAnnie” with Starsky and Hutch? Very creative, Chocolate Egg! Well done!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Lisa! I figure our guys have a hard knock life so why not set it to music. πŸ™‚ So glad you liked it!

  7. kat says:

    Now that was excellent work. Song, not for me but man, you hit every single line perfectly! I’m impressed! It’s such fun to see a light hearted vid and your timing is impeccable. I see more good things in your vidding future.

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you thank you, Kat! It was fun to make it work. The more vids I make the more I understand the software. I think I’ll keep at it. πŸ˜‰

  8. Pat says:

    That was sheer genius, ChocolateEgg! I’ve never seen ‘Annie,’ had never heard the song and yet every clip you used fit perfectly with the lyrics and was beautifully timed to the music. As others have said, I see a great vidding future for you. Thanks for this very creative summer gift!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Pat! ‘Perfect’ timing can be a challenge but it makes all the difference. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your ‘sheer genius’. <3 I do see me making more vids. πŸ˜‰

  9. Onnakarot says:

    Great vid and great choice. I think I saw Annie the movie one hundred years ago (not a musical lover Iβ€˜m afraid) and I don’t know the song but it works perfectly here. Well done. And yes please, make more vids!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Onna! I agree that the song makes sense for our guys. More vids, yes! I’m glad you enjoyed the vid! <3

  10. Lou says:

    That is hilarious! ? Thank you

  11. Bertha Trusdell says:

    Love it! Great job!

  12. Lauren says:

    Love the vid! I used to sing all the songs from Annie when I was a kid and hadn’t heard this one in years. Each of the clips was perfect for the lyrics!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Lauren! Annie was a favorite of mine too. And this song was my most favorite. I’m so glad you enjoyed the vid!

  13. Maria (MHE) Priest says:

    OMG! This was priceless! Perfect song perfectly matched with perfect images. I’ll watch this many times. Thanks for creating and sharing.

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Maria! I aim for perfection. lol Feel free to watch any time. πŸ˜‰ So glad you liked it. <3

  14. Nancy Roots says:

    Loved this!!!
    Amazing melding of the music and clips!
    Thank you, Chocolate Egg for this wonderful vid!
    KUDOS

  15. Mortmere says:

    I had no idea what the song was going to be (not familiar with the songs from “Annie” at all), so you took me by surprise there, and damn it was a delightful surprise! Laughed all the way. Brilliant choices of clips and great editing, too!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Mortmere! I’m glad it was a pleasant surprise. πŸ˜‰ And that it made you laugh. Thanks for commenting. <3

  16. Garrideb (Monica M) says:

    I was grinning through this entire vid! There were so many perfect clip-to-lyric matches that if I listed all the ones I especially liked this comment would be two pages long, but my favorites were the “Instead of kisses / we get kicked” with the giant guy kissing Starsky, and then Starsky’s little kick to Hutch’s rump. Oh, and right after that, you timed Starsky hitting the mat to a drumbeat perfectly! And I liked the soundbite you put at the beginning; it set the tone well!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Monica! I love that you mentioned a couple of your favorites. The soundbite was a bit tricky since it was the first time I edited an audio clip. Plus there was background noise. But I guess it worked out fine. πŸ˜‰ Thanks again!

  17. EdieCee says:

    This was soo fun! Great song and perfect timing. However did you find that one clip of Blackie Dammit wearing the safety pin? It was genius. Keep it up, I like the way you see things in your vids.

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Edie! I had no idea there was a safety pin anywhere in the series. So I searched the S&H Compendium and to my amazement, it turned up that clip. I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment.

  18. Keri says:

    I’m going to be humming this tune all morning! So creative and original. I never would have put Annie together with the guys! So glad you did. Thank you for a delightful treat.

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, Keri! One day it just popped into my head that this song would be close to perfect for our guys. And it was mostly fun putting it together. πŸ˜‰ So glad you liked it. <3

  19. hardboiledbaby says:

    *chef’s kiss* From concept to execution, brilliant work, CE!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you, HBB! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I must confess to a mild vidding addiction – I have 3 that I’m working on right now. πŸ™‚

  20. wightfaerie says:

    Looking forward to watching this. Will have the song in my head all night now lol.

  21. Elaine says:

    Loved it! and now the song is stuck in my head. Great timing in your vid!

  22. acmabry says:

    This is absolutely wonderful!! I love it! This is one of my favorite songs from Annie! And the way you matched the song to the clips was perfect, perfect, perfect. I laughed and smiled thru the whole thing. Great, great job!!!

    • ChocolateEgg says:

      Thank you so much, Arlene! Matching the clips was a bit of a challenge but it was also fun. So glad you enjoyed it! <3

  23. Amber Raine says:

    Make me laugh! And feel good, too. How you can turn their pain (punches, et al) into something fun makes it even more of a treat. ? I couldn’t stop grinning. I also just finished watching the blond in his performance as a wildlife warden in Flipper and couldn’t get that stupid theme song out of my head. Thank you for replacing it with this one: it comes with a lot more mental pictures I can fall back on. ?

  24. ChocolateEgg says:

    Thank you thank you, Amber! Their lives are so ‘hard’ that the song fit them well. πŸ˜‰

    David was so young and adorable in that ep. Glad to have replaced that annoying theme song for you. Uh oh, now it’s in my head. ‘They called him Flipper, Flipper, Flipper, Flipper . . .’ πŸ˜‰

  25. LauraY says:

    Kudos, Chocolate Egg! You nailed it! Such a great selection of clips. Not a big fan of the song, but love this video. You made it all come together and the timing of your clips is impeccable. I can’t imagine how many hours went into this. Thank you!
