In the meantime, here are four corkers almost guaranteed to make you smile ? or get your feet tapping. Stand By Me ? around the worldA collection of street buskers around the world singing Stand By Me. Cheesy? Well, yes, but the perfect pick-me-up if you're stuck in a dreary office on this sunny day.Rio Carnival in miniatureFilms using the tilt-shift technique ? which make scenes appear toy-like ? are two-a-penny these days, but this video of the Rio carnival is a particularly inspired use of the effect, reducing one of the world's most spectcular shows to a miniature version of itself. Somehow seeing it on this scale emphasises the monumental effort that goes into creating the mind-bogglingly elaborate floats, from troupes of ghosts to a man-eating shark in a real pool.A wedding video you actually want to watch, IndiaMost of us would find an good excuse to avoid sitting through a friend's wedding DVD, but this film of an Indian/French couple who marry in Pune, near Mumbai, manages to be both watchable and uplifting.Music on the move in Mexico cityThe flat wooden boats that ply the canals of Xochimilco in Mexico City have a long been used as floating stages by mariachi and marimba bands. Here The Plastics Revolution follow the tradition, performing their song, Light of Day, as they are punted along the waterways, for the Take Away Shows series by Black XS and Blogotheque, who travel round the world filming local bands.Rio de JaneiroIndiaMexico Cityguardian.co.uk © 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
