Thursday treat with pants

Thanks to bedeviant.com for the recommendation. This is the silliest song and I love it. Apparently it's availalbe as a ringtone. That sounds like a very good idea!

Errant Dog

Great song by Ben Folds, "Errant Dog." Some of the material may offend sensitive ears. If you are such an individual, or if you are in a cube, give it a pass.

Laika

Another beautiful ditty from Rather Good, the creator of the Fearsome Stomping Kittens and Looking for My Leopard.

In honor of Laika, the first dog in space.

So bad, yet so good

I couldn't find a clip of this on YouTube so I'll explain this Saturday Night Live sketch. I haven't heard or seen this in more than 15 years. Even so, the song will pop into my head and linger as an Ohrwurm.

Garrett Morris plays a guy before the parole board. He's wearing the grey and white striped uniform and hat. He is a model prisoner. He vows that he's reformed, will be a model citizen, can re-enter society, etc. The parole board is very pleased. They are about to grant him parole and he tells them he'd like to sing a song. He launches into this:

I'm gonna get me a shot gun and kill all the whiteys I see
I'm gonna get me a shot gun and kill all the whiteys I see
[can't remember this bit] ... whitey he won't bother me
I'm gonna get me a shot gun and kill all the whiteys I see

I'm gonna find me a chick in a navy blue sweater
I'm gonna find me a chick in a navy blue sweater

At this point in the song he is hauled off by the prison guards.
