Gah. It's a "YouTube is blocked" day at work today. Gonna have to wait until I get home to listen, because I also forgot to bring my cellphone to work. (For the first time in, like, forever.)
Going in another direction entirely, I think the various songs written by Mercedes Lackey deserve consideration. Not just the various songs from/about Velgarth, but songs like "
Eumenides", "
Jirel of Jorey", and "
Signy Mallory". "
Of Cabbages" deserves special mention as well ("I grow the best damn cabbages you ever hope to see, and once upon a moonstruck night I watched the dancing Sidhe.").
EDIT: Forgot to mention "
Minus Ten and Counting", the lyrics of which were also written by Lackey.
(blows dust off thread)
Maybe Usagi can find a few of the sillier parody songs on the iPod, and try to sing them all the way through without giggling at them. (As to "which parody songs", well... somebody in the multiverse must have recorded
this one by now, and getting the rights couldn't be easier.
)
Simply for the sake of including Flail Snails in Doug's list of simulacra, I must approve of this plan.
Because somebody actually requested this song on the radio today...
"Ooooh! Here's a song called 'Chocolate Candy'!"
"I don't think that was about candy."
Man, Ricky Martin was really young there.
My sister was a fan of Menudo, still has the records.
