I hadn’t ever heard that before. Interesting video and packed with good advice.

I won’t lie, using sunscreen is one of the things I struggle with, despite the fact that I have been bitten so many times by NOT using sunscreen. I just need to break down and buy a few bottles and keep them in the car, assuming this can be done safely…

Malaysia does have it’s fair share of sun

I first heard this song before YouTube, it was mailed to my by a friend and I just loved it. I think that this is one of the best images-put-to-music version of the song that I have seen.

This is really something. As much I apply sunscreen nearly everyday (thanks to a Sunny country I’m living in) but never I see it this way. Very inspirational video, oh I’m sharing this out alright. SU and tweet I’ll do it. Apply sunscreen, everyone!

From Wiki:
Schmich’s June 1, 1997 column began with the injunction to wear sunscreen, and continued with discursive advice for living without regret. In her introduction to the column, she described it as the commencement address she would give if she were asked to give one. The column was circulated around the Internet, with an erroneous claim that it was a commencement address by Kurt Vonnegut, usually at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the misattribution became a news item when Vonnegut was contacted by reporters to comment. He told the New York Times, “What she wrote was funny, wise and charming, so I would have been proud had the words been mine.”[1]

In 1998, Schmich published the column as a book, Wear Sunscreen. In 1999, Baz Luhrmann released a song called “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)” in which this column is read word for word as written by Schmich, who gave permission and receives royalties. This song was a number one hit in several countries.

This show played many stations in the United States. In Portland, Oregon – where ‘Modern Mix’ played on KNRK — listeners began the requesting the track. KNRK Program Director Mark Hamilton edited the song for time and began playing it regularly. He distributed the song to other PDs that he networked with and the song exploded in the US.[

The song was largely obscure until Aaron Scofield, a producer in Phoenix, Arizona, edited the original 12″ version into a segment of a syndicated radio show called ‘Modern Mix’.

The song features a spoken-word track set over a mellow backing track. The “Wear Sunscreen” speech is narrated by Australian voice actor Lee Perry.[4] The backing is the choral version of “Everybody’s Free (To Feel Good)”, a 1991 song by Rozalla, used in the film William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet. The chorus, also from “Everybody’s Free”, is sung by Quindon Tarver.

Luhrmann explains that Anton Monsted, Josh Abrahams and he were working on the remix when Monsted received an email with the supposed Vonnegut speech. They decided to use it but were doubtful of getting through to Vonnegut for permission before their deadline, which was only one or two days away. While searching the internet for contact information they came upon the “Sunscreen Controversy” and discovered that Schmich was the actual author. They emailed her and, with her permission, recorded the song the next day
