I love Gene Kelly.



So this is very, very weird. But amazing.



From Adrants.com:



...the latest commercial for Volkswagen Golf gti features Gene Kelly singing and dancing in the rain. He doesn't just dance though, he breakdances like mad, pops and flips to a modern club mix ersion of singing in the rain. The song has been remastered by none other than Mint Royale and will be released in the charts. To get Gene in the ad, DDB London had to sweet talk Kelly's widow Patricia Ward Kelly and show her that this would be faithful to Gene and the original scene, just updated. Since Gene was a great dancer and approved of modern dance the idea works.



Go to COMMERCIALS, click on ol' Gene, then VIEW the clip.
