I love that, at the beginning of this number the people on the street are like "WTF is this guy doing singing and roller skating on our sidewalk. What a strange, funny man!" Okay, so maybe the point is that they're going "Look at this full grown man wandering the streets in roller skates, ha ha!" EITHER WAY, I like that the the crowd doesn't immediately fall into this man's musical, you know?

Gene Kelly (who is the coolest of the cool for a billion years running now) has several numbers like this (as I think about it, oh, Singing in the Rain for one) and I love it. I was the kind of person (was? am) who wished her life was a musical all the time and this sort of number kind of says that if you want your life to be a musical, go out there and sing and dance. Production numbers not required. (Though being an amazing singer and tap dancer might help you not get mocked off the sidewalk and you could put down a hat and profit from your happy if you so desire.)

I don't know, I just dig it.
