02/26/08 Update: Wow. What was expected to be a short movie that would circulate within a small circle of friends has turned into something much more very quickly. I'm thrilled that so many people have enjoyed this video but also somewhat mortified that I added this without my daughter's knowledge or consent. Maybe someday she will find some humor in it.
Comments: Have been disabled. I think they have run their course. To those who have sent positive comments, thank you very much. You've made us appreciate what we have even more than we already do. To those of you who've said you've changed your mind about having children, well, have at it. :)
Business inquiries/agents: Thanks for your interest. At the current time we have no intention of exposing our little one to the destroyer of youth that is the entertainment industry (with the exception of Star Wars, heh). Hopefully if she chooses to follow this path on her own someday she will find a door still open for her.
Other things:
She has never seen Pokemon so I don't think she's making a reference to the ball on that show. I think she just means pokey ball as in "a ball that is pokey." (And yes, I know what the pokey balls really are! Stop emailing :) )
Three year olds can't read. I'm sure there are exceptions to that rule.
-------------------------------------
Here is my daughter, age 3, explaining the plot of Star Wars Episode IV.
She explained the whole movie to me in much greater detail but unfortunately I didn't have the camera going. When I finally caught her talking about the movie again she delivered this truncated, but still funny, version.
Edit: Thank you all for the nice comments. Maybe I will print them out for her and someday and when she's all growed up she'll get to read them herself.
A little more about the video: She wasn't coached to say anything, nor was she forced to make the video. She rarely stops talking. Those of you with children understand this: sometimes it's harder to turn the faucet off than to turn the faucet on.
Believe it or not, she has the seem the movie only once, and I spread it out over 3 days so it wouldn't be too much all at once for her.
The video was edited to make it shorter, more cohesive and hopefully funnier. I did move some of the lines around so it would make more sense.

From my personal favorite concert in Central Park, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing Old Friends. The vocals are just amazing.
Someone requested the lyrics, so here they are:
OLD FRIENDS LYRICS:
Old friends,
Old friends
Sat on their park bench
Like bookends.
A newspaper blown though the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends.
Old friends,
Winter companions,
The old men
Lost in their overcoats,
Waiting for the sunset.
The sounds of the city,
Sifting through trees,
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends.
Can you imagine us
Years from today,
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy.
Old friends,
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears
BOOKENDS LYRICS:
Time it was and what a time it was it was,
A time of innocence a time of confidences.
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, theyre all thats left you
59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG (FEELIN' GROOVY) LYRICS:
Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.
Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy.
Hello lamp-post,
What cha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy.
I've got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.

(Great Drum Solo by a seven year old 'Jacob Armen' big band style)
For more info/tracks:
http://www.myspace.com/jacobarmen
(announcer voice)
This kid could count in the tonight show band as if it was his own, At only seven years old, a young Jacob Armen plays with the speed and taste of drummers up to 8.88 times his age!
Witness the young child drummer prodigy,
'Jacob Armen' as he performed way back when on the Johny Carson show.
At only 7 years old (then) its mind blowing how advanced he is.
He is like a young buddy rich or some thing, a must see if your a drummer, or musician.
For more video evidence be sure to see some of Jacobs other historic solos and TV appearances at the following:

For some reason at about 3 mins the audio starts getting out of sync. I use Pinnacle Studio 9.3. The captured MPG was in sync, just the rendered mpg is out of sync. So if you know anything that I can do to fix it please let me know.

All this album is great but this song is special. I think that Chuck Levell himself can present this song:
"But, when we rehearsed it, he didn't like it. He said, "No, I don't want to do that." So, OK, we go on and we rehearse other songs. We learn all the songs. Comes time to do the show. We do the performance [and it is] very successful. And when we are finished there are no more songs to play, but the audience wants more. So Eric [said], "What can we do? What can we do?" He turned to me and he said, "What can we do?" And I said, "Do 'Old Love'." And [it was] a very special moment for me, because that was the first time I had a strong solo with Eric. It was a very special moment for me."
