Seen Your Video: "Surprise, Surprise," Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band

Ok, I admit, I wasn't knocked out by Springsteen and the E Street Band's Working on a Dream (the lyrics in "Queen of the Supermarket" alone made my stomach kinda turn). But there were one or two on a hefty repeat for awhile (The Wrestler being one...it just killed me with its minimalist beauty). Another was "Surprise, Surprise." Poppy in the vein of The Raspberries (who are, coincidentally, a big Springsteen influence), it's a song that could force a smile out of even the crankiest of souls.

Someone took the song and ran with it, creating this video. It's awful yes, but I promise you'll chuckle...the kid's enthusiasm is infectious. And if you watch the "proper" version below it, you'll see the parody isn't that far off.

Parody...
