Marie Osmond Covers Hugo Ball
Hugo Ball: Co-founder of the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich; led the Dada movement and is widely credited with naming the movement “Dada.” In 1916, the year that he wrote the Dada Manifesto, he penned the poem “Karawane” from nonsensical words, and Dada history was made.
Marie Osmond: Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; recorded the album Goin’ Coconuts with her brother Donny; appeared on the cover of Designs in Machine Embroidery.
Marie Osmond reciting Hugo Ball’s Karawane (from memory, no less).

I loved learning about the Dada movement in my art history class I took last spring. Remind me to ask you about how you feel about Man Ray on Monday. I absolutley adore his work.

So, I went to YouTube, of course, looking for more Dada and found “Le Retour A La Raison,” and then this on UBUWEB; http://www.ubu.com/historical/sound/ball.html
