This is adorable! I love the idea of pairing this song with Lucy!!

I'm glad that you liked it!

Awesome! So full of movement and fun - just watched it before setting off on a multihour international trip and now feel able to handle everything! :D

When the show wasn't mired in patriarchal bs, Lucy really was a wonder woman who could do *anything*.

This was so fun! I watched a lot of ILL reruns when I was a kid, and it was great to see the show set to an unexpected song. You reminded me that Lucy was actually pretty badass in her way. :)

[jetpack_monkey]

She is a complete badass.

I really loved this! You just make me want to stare at Lucille Ball's amazing face all day.

[jetpack_monkey]

One of the joys of making this vid was just that. :D

This is fantastic and hilarious and just so great! Thank you so much.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you for the comment!

I've never seen this show vidded before and what a spectacular first I Love Lucy vid this was! I loved all of the fun and motion and I don't know that I would've immediately thought of Nicki Minaj = Lucy but it works SO well! :D *applause*

Great work, I enjoyed it a ton! :D ♥♥♥

Honestly, there was never a point in making this vid where it wasn't going to be Nicki Minaj. I just couldn't see another voice that had the same level of, well, "va va voom" that so perfectly synced with Lucy's.

Supercute! I love how the vid showcases Lucy's zaniness and heart and the show's energy and charm!

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Eeee, thank you!

This is so much fun. Who knew Lucy was so visually arresting? Well, Lucy! And you! I feel I must recommend this to anyone who will listen to me. And a few people who are rapidly walking away. What I so love about VividCon...is that we see things we don't see every single day in vidding. This ticks my boxes for excellent vidding.

Seriously, Lucille Ball was a gift while I was making this vid. A GIFT. She is so goddamn expressive. Also, I was surprised by how much the camera moved in this show. We think of sitcoms as being static and old sitcoms particularly. There is some of that here, but more motion than you'd think.

I love this so much!
Damn, this makes me really miss "I Love Lucy."

Well, it's still around! Hulu Plus has "select episodes" available for viewing and there's always DVD.

Your timing is a thing of beauty.

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The source helped!

[silver-venus42.livejournal.com]

Fabulous!

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Wow, this is pure fun. Thank you!
