Friday glee is performing "Taxi Driver" in Irish, I think

Climbing? Training? Locked down? Vaccinated? Paused? Volunteering? Dreaming of freedom?

Video: Moonwalking | Behind the scenes of Sean Villanueva’s solo Fitz Roy traverse

No footage of him actually climbing as he was alone on the traverse, but lots of excited shouting (and singing) from peaks, and some truly spectacular views.

Hah! Here's his goat song lyrics in English and Irish both, it's a pretty famous song. Also the "Are you talking to me?" is from "Yu Ming is Ainm Dom" (here's the scene), a pretty famous short video about a Chinese guy who, dissatisfied with his life, decides to move to Ireland... so he learns Irish, and arrives in Ireland speaking Chinese and Irish, but not English.

But the "Yu Ming is Ainm Dom" scene is him imitating the "Taxi Driver" scene, right?

Thanks for the references! Also apologies for referring to Gaelic in the post title when I meant "Irish"; as someone with a Scottish friend who's Duolingo-ing Gaelic (the Scottish one), I should know better. Now corrected.

It's some famous movie, but I've never seen "Taxi Driver", so, probably?

Thanks for the welcome and unexpected correction! (Nearly everyone who doesn't live in Ireland and doesn't speak Irish calls it Gaelic, which is as you say wrong, but I'm so used to it that I don't even bother to correct it most of the time. I am touched by your unexpected attention to detail!)
