Lean Ong Mee

Pretty much the best version of "Lean On Me" you're going to see today. [Yes, it's an ad, in honor of International Children's Day.] [SLYT]

Super cute, and here's to Sophia Ong, the hardest working woman in showbiz.

Might be an ad, but tasteful - I would say it has some artistic merit and..., oh damn I was chopping onions in the kitchen again...

I watched this twice before realizing the kids are probably wearing clothing from the company. Such welcome understatement! Fantastic ad.

There have been so many cover versions of that song, some good, some not so good, that I was quite relieved that they used Bill Withers' original. Bill Withers is one of my all-time favorite singer/songwriters and I could listen to that song along with "Ain't No Sunshine", "Use Me", "Lovely Day" and "Just the Two of Us" on repeat for hours. He was everything that was good of '70s pop.
