Indeed Petra and thanks a million for putting them on......any more load them up for they are all great especially the ones of him with the cow and both having on party hats and then the one with chicken and Michael's expression I love plus that tiny, tiny wee party hat for the chicken....LOL

On "behind the scenes" video Sylvie and Robin what that is made up of is Michael standing at kitchen counter with mixing bowl in front of him and a supply of plenty of eggs.  All he keeps doing is attempting to crack eggs on side of mixing bowl but you can see what is going to happen with the very first one for he takes his arm back and then brings it down far too hard and he actually splits the whole egg shell in two on the side of the bowl ....OMG it is so funny for he looks more as though he is taking aim in a softball game.  It is, of course, Michael's expressions too for he can't believe he can't get it right for you can see that quite clearly and the chuckle is rising in him each time he tries and fails.  Then at end when it is the yolk and the egg shells that all end up in bowl together Michael is looking into bowl as though he can't believe it when he says: "they freaking all fell in"....I can't watch and listen to it yet without laughing so I'm maybe not picking up exactly what he says but all I know for sure it is hysterical and Michael's face when he is laughing at the end is absolutely gorgeous for I have never seen such a smile on his face for we talk about the wide, beautiful, infectious smile he has but that one just takes the biscuit !!!! :) 

Here is a picture of the thank you card you can send back once you get an ecard sent to you.  It shows Michael with the cow and both have on the party hats and Michael's is blue with a yellow pompom and the cow's is green with white spots and a purple pompom and the words on it say:  "Thanks for the GREATEST CARD of the year!"

Sylvia.  Your wee Scottish friend.

What a great idea! I wonder how long it took him to record all the different names! Great job, Michael!

Ok so I decided to go to MB's American Greetings page where you can send the e-card and guess what?!  My name is on the recipient list as a list of names to choose from WOOT!!!!!!  So I decided to input my name, bday, and picked a random message and just sat here and listened to it while I was taking a small break and eating my crackers and thought I was going to die LOL!!!!!!  If only he were singing that to me in person...... <3!

A little bit of information on the list of names and it is that yesterday, Michael was on twitter quite bit and our own Kathy LAFD asked him about the list and said if he actually sat and recorded them all then that must have been about as near to singing a telephone book as he had ever come and Michael replied and said that he believes there are at least 800 names on the list.  He did also say, in another tweet, that it took forever to make the video and I bet with all the recordings he had to do it must have seemed like forever but believe, can safely say, we are all grateful to him that he took the time to make such an absolutely, wonderful, fun filled ecard that we can send to everyone !!!! LOL

Thank you for the information, Sylvia! I have also read the Tweets.

Because I've wondered about the 800 names, I jokingly made the effort and counted all the names.

If I'm not mistaken, there are even 857 (!!!) names that Michael has sung!

A very great work! Thank you very much, Michael!!!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that the YouTube video has been removed, for those who have been too busy to check it out. The "Behind the scenes" one is still available though. Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada :D

Thanks for letting us know Sylvie......I did watch it and it was good to see something fresh and new from MB and it is so cute and humourous. I sometimes think that MB should have a late night talk and music show......now that would be the greatest thing to hit TV in years in my opinion. Hugs:)
