Waiting backstage at Pridefest Milwaukee 2008 while the thunderstorms and tornado winds subsided, musician Ben Lerman and YouTube star Britney Houston jammed up this classic hit, off the cuff. Magic happens.
–Thanks to Rick Ailello for capturing this magic moment on the video camera!

June 12, 2008 at 04:40GOD that was THE BEST moment of the entire weekend. I had just turned on the camera and was getting my feel for it when all of a sudden– magic. I don’t even think Ben knew I had the camera on when he grabbed the ukulele. And then Britney! She just joined right in and it was an out and out jam session. It was just so organic and wonderful. Up until then I think we all feared the weekend was going to be a bust, but that moment just turned it all around. I’m so glad I was there with all of you guys!!!

June 12, 2008 at 17:41Great video from Rocketman! I knew Rick was a great photographer from his Flickr page but he does excellent video too. It was nice to see an everyday behind the scenes moment turn into an all out classic gay jam session.

June 15, 2008 at 17:20I was so dreading starting my work on this lovely Sunday afternoon. Thanks so much for allowing me to procrastinate for just a few minutes more. This video is so brilliant. It makes me want to hear a whole album of Smell Your Dick covers while watching Alexyss Tyler shake her bootie on the dancefloor. Keep it coming rock stars.
Cliff Dix says:
June 16, 2008 at 07:17Sorry Fausto. I didn’t realize. Great job to all involved. And Marc if you want to see Alexyss, come on down, Glen and I will put you up and take you to her.
