Meet Edward Reid: They Were Happy and They Clapped Their Hands

For those of you still marveling over Susan Boyle’s surprise performance in 2009, meet Edward Reid who took nursery rhymes to a new level on “Britain’s Got Talent” this weekend.

Reid, 35, is a drama teacher who combined “Old McDonald Had a Farm,” “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” and “Humpty Dumpty” and “If You’re Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands” to form a pop piece that, on creativity alone (in addition to a terrific voice), is pretty remarkable.

No great legal or political issues, here. Just a cool performance.
