Would you like to swing on a star with Bruce Willis?

You may grow up to be a mule....or would you rather be a fish?

I had to share this 1990's moment with you.

I was watching Netflix and stumbled across the film Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis. Well I love Bruce Willis so I had to indulge myself and watch at least some of the film. Of course once I had started I just couldn’t put it down. The film starts quite slowly but gets sillier and sillier. This clip is my favourite moment. Hudson Hawk played by Bruce Willis is a skilled thief, a safe cracker who has literally just come out of prison. His partner in crime persuades him to do a job in a museum….They use songs to keep the job on track, both of them singing whilst completing their part of the plan and finally meeting up at the end when the job is done. I just loved the idea and the way the scene was choreographed.

Let me know what you think. The words to the song are just below and you can do the gap fill activity too; ( All the monkeys aren't in the zoo....)
