Furry Old Lobster Video

Cody sends in this delightful video for Furry Old Lobster. I think this might be the only way anyone will ever get the joke about smashing open clams on their bellies with stones.

JoCoPro – Curl

A video for Curl from Holger, Flickr-style. As Kerrin of JoCoPro says, if you don’t like photo montages that literally interpret the lyrics, you won’t like this one. Though I myself enjoyed the many photos of babies, rocks and houses…

VTAW – I’m Your Moon

Len told me this one would be “a little late” which in Len speak means “24 hours after the song was posted.” It’s taken me longer to get it online here than it did for Len to actually do the work. I salute him!

Thing a Week 47 – I’m Your Moon

A few people suggested I do a song about Pluto, and I thought it was a fine idea. It was turning around in my head last week when the first line of the chorus came to me, as if from deep space.

As you certainly know by now, Pluto is not a planet anymore. Just yesterday the International Astronomical Union made it official by redefining “planet.” Pluto is a now considered a dwarf planet, along with a few other small, icy spherical things out there. Obviously very upsetting to Pluto. As you are also no doubt aware, Pluto’s moon Charon is kind of unusual: it’s about half the size of Pluto, which is pretty large for a moon. And it doesn’t orbit around Pluto, they actually orbit around each other, faces locked, like dancers. You wouldn’t be crazy to think of them as a double dwarf planet.

What I’m getting to is this: Charon sings this song to Pluto.
