Songbird

That's funny. Hopefully they didnt get the joke in that last song.

Good morning! For today's shanty, I got you a song with a punchline!

Great Big Sea - The Mermaid - YouTube

(I can't remember if I've ever shown you this one, but even if I have, it's okay - it's that good)

(BTW: and I know I'm pushing the definition of "shanty" a bit... I don't care. )

It sounds like you didn't like it. Hopefully you'll find the rest of the sea shanties to your liking.

That's right: sea shanties. Arr.

thanks for the frube and the applause ! (made me blush)

Thanks for the encouraging words. I never have as much time here as I would like, and can never get to all issues I see posted on the threads. I've noticed your posts on gender issues...lately the crazy threads this martin guy keeps posting up. I agree with your points, and I'd like to follow up on some of this stuff also, because a lot of these guys need to get the message from their own side that they're out of line. It's similar to whats happening in race and immigration issues. There is a noticable increase in propaganda from the right that's intended to appeal to the sense of loss of privilege that a lot of white, middle aged men feel. And in tough economic times, these things only get worse.

It's the 21st! New day, new theme! Can you figure out what it is?

Seeing how it's so cold out, I figured I should take you somewhere warm:

South Australia - YouTube

Okay - you're getting today's video on time! It's after midnight here, so it counts.

I don't have anything to say about this except... just watch it.

Dope Zebra - YouTube

Oh... in case you're as behind on your memes as I am, this should explain who that guy is near the end of the video:

Official Ojai Valley Taxidermy TV Commercial - YouTube

I think this qualifies as weird.

Yeah, "lovable"...

Btw, did I show you my new tazer?

I edited out "And Quagmires to put things in his mouth when he's asleep..."

He's a tricky little devil. Did you see what he did to my sig?

And you believed him?

Thirteen more whats to go where?

BTW - you know what it means to be two thirds of the way through your January, right? New third, new theme! Only one more day of weird songs! What will the new theme be? You'll have to wait until Saturday to see!

I'm getting later by the day. That's no good.

But to make up for it, here's the weirdest mashup I've ever heard:

Go Home Productions - Smells Like Rockin' Robin (Nirvana vs Michael Jackson) - YouTube

And as your bonus... I don't think any collection of weirdness can be complete without a little Christopher Walken:

Weapon Of Choice - Fatboy Slim - YouTube

BTW: at precisely 4:00 pm this Saturday, you will be two thirds through your January!

Sorry - I woke up late, and then I ran out of time at lunch, and I can't do YouTube links on my phone.

Tell you what: when I get home, I'll get you *two* songs!

The Zerp that can be spoken of is not the eternal zerp.

It's a zerp. It's in it's own category.

Zerp!!

There, I found a new one.

Sorry for the lateness! The north pole got dumped on us last night and I had to drive through it this morning.

Your song of the day! I think it's only mildly weird, but still weird enough to qualify... but I picked it mainly because I like it:

Leaving On A Jet Plane - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - YouTube

There should be more punk (and ska and bluegrass) covers of pop songs. :yes:

Good morning!

I'm off my chemistry kick and I'm onto math now. Your morning weird song:

The Pi Song - YouTube

BTW - I forgot to say it yesterday when it happened, but you are more than halfway through your January!
