Bin Can Can

Dancing bins. Shot in a raw home-video style, Bin Can Can follows the increasingly elaborate antics of a group of suburban "wheely bins". Their awkward but meticulously choreographed dance is synchronized with Offenbach's familiar soundtrack.

On my list -

I've outlived Bill Haley by almost a month. He was a rock 'n' roll legend who broke barriers with "Rock Around the Clock" (1955). He died of a heart attack on February 9, 1981, when I was 27 years old.

I've outlived Pedro Menéndez de Avilés by more than a month. He was a Spanish conquistador who founded the town of St. Augustine in Florida. He died of injuries sustained in battle on September 17, 1574, 380 years before I was born.

Claude Debussy was more than a month younger than me when he died of colon cancer on March 25, 1918. He was a rule-breaking French orchestral composer and founder of musical Impressionism. He died 36 years before I was born.

King Henry VIII of England was more than a month younger than me when he died on January 28, 1547. He was the King of England (1509-47) famed for marrying six times and rejecting papal authority. He died 407 years before I was born.

I've lived 20,336 days.
