Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go...

I have nothing against the Ramones. Listening to them on a sunny-day road trip is the perfect way to feel happily innocent and kinda cool at the same time, like you're hanging out with the missing link between the Beach Boys and Green Day.

Of course their lyrical depth is not the main draw, but hey, sometimes the phrase "rock 'n roll high school" repeated nine consecutive times just hits the spot.

And then, last week at my in-laws', I came across this video which managed to unleash something of noteworthy depth.

"Oh how adorable!"

We laughed our guts out.

But wait a minute. These are not first-graders putting on a nativity pageant, tripping around in pastel robes and twine, making a weighty message cute and inane by their lack of understanding.

Somehow, this is the opposite -- here are some of the most seasoned humans around, infusing something as trite as a Ramones song with loads of substance, just by virtue of their life stage.

Hmmm...
