THIS JUST IN: The Nine Cutest Things That Ever Happened

OK, who in the world is Gordon Hamilton and how does he and his Australian Voices choir know so much ABOUT THE CUTE!? Check them sing about the top 9 Cutest things—they picked some damn good ones.

    I’m overwhelmed by cute, and now I’m almost dead (luckily there wasn’t 10 cutest things that ever happened).

    This is fantastic! I counted 7 of the 9 showing up on CO, and I’m going to ask my choir director if we can do this song next year.

    Has anyone been following the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee lately? http://www.theittybittykittycommittee.com Those Tiptons will be in this song next time! And Laurie, the IBKC chief kitteh wrangler, is going to be writing a book! Maybe she can help us with NTMTOM’s coffee table book!

    Why shouldn’t Aussies know about the cute?? They have wallabies, wombats, possums, koalas, bandicoots, sugar gliders, little penguins, Tasmanian devils, cockatoos, galahs, fairy wrens, kangaroos, kookaburras, bettongs, echidnas, platypi, potoroos, quokkas, quolls, and numbats!!!

      I can’t believe everyone held it together so well without even messing yourselves up by smiling too much, haha. BTW, you guys were *amazing.* (I’m a former choirperson myself, though not in anything quite so cute/impressive :)

    That is the most excellent thing ever. No, that’s not hyperbole. You simply cannot top a cute montage paired with choral music. Nope, can’t be done.

  11. pookie says:

    What a great choral sound! Bravo!

  12. Bonz says:

    Music just makes me all *emotional*, ya’ll!! [reaches for tissue] That was just so, so, so beautiful! [sniff]

    We’ve got ourselves a Cute Down Under Overload. It’s a very G’day for the Australians, serving us our bums in a billycan.

    At first glance, I thought the video would tell me where Bea is. But it turned out to be awesome sauce, with even better imagery. Looking forward to an encore or follow up from this group.

  15. Sue says:

    Just. Fabulous.

  16. Kar says:

    that kitten in a shopping cart was lethal but that huge dog being carried into the vet’s? finishing coup de grace.

    • gryt says:

      I thought I was hardened to the Qte (not really :) ), but the doggy-woggy at the vet being carried like a child got me!

      • sabrina rose says:

        I got the impression that the doggy jumped right into his person’s arms as soon as he realized he was at the vet. His expression reminded me of a little kid finding out he was taken to the doctor to get a SHOT!

  17. Bunny says:

    This is so cute. I think they should be sent calendars in appreciation of the time and effort they put into this.

  18. Mary (the first) says:

    I’m a little misty here.. it was all lovely but that elephump at the end frolicking in the waves.. sigh. SO cute!!

  19. Judith says:

    This makes me soooo proud to be an Aussie! Long live cute, you beauuuuty! (What…no echidna puggle?)

  20. rach3 says:

    Love, love, love the a capella!!! (But no kitten hug??!!)

  21. Rachael says:

    Best. Video. Ever!!! This is the sort of thing that could ultimately bring about world peace.

  22. ceejoe says:

    Love eet! :) Great way to start the day! :)

  23. Tlynnclemmons says:

    I wanna know what kind of monkey that is……. it absolutely IS the cutest one I’ve ever seen I think.

  24. goddessoftransitory says:

    Awww, the definition of Cutie Patootie.

    Plus, Gordon Hamilton def belongs in the Men of… calender! He can direct my choir any day (If you know what I mean and I think you do)

    ((Meant in an entirely lighthearted and nonstalkery way and all due respects to any partners of Mr. Hamilton))

    (((But seriously–how adorable is he with the directing?)))

  25. Kitt B. says:

    Well, this was awesome, and I am forwarding it posthaste to my friend the President and lead alto of Cascadian Chorale!!

  26. tibbymstie says:

    Wow – that’s a LOT of cute,, but NO MARU?? How can you have the “Cutest” things without him? My advice? Less dogs, more Maru. ; )
