Brand new bag



Gentleman known as The Badpiper plays AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" — or some semblance thereof — on a flaming bagpipe, although I think maybe this guy sets the musical standard. And yes, he's available for weddings.

Leg up



Girls suit up in dichromatic Siamese leotards and whip out a trippy Rockettes impression to some popular(?) German polka-rock tune in the Black and White Tights Dance. Not sure what more one could ask for.
