Combination/synergy effects... - Feinan - 04-11-2006
Hey, Bob?
We know that one song can affect another, at least in the case of 'Play for You'. While there might be meta-songs that affect a wide variety of other songs, have you considered whether or not there are songs that affect only one other song, possibly granting it power that it might not usually have?
The reason that I'm asking is due to my mind being sick and twisted. Because my brain is absolutely INSISTING to me that playing THIS:
Amoeba Hop
Words and Music by Christine Lavin
Just a little puddle of muddy water
Left there after the rain
I got down on my knees
I looked close
I saw things I couldn't explain
There was all those itty bitty
Teeny weeny little tiny creatures
Swimmin' and sloshin' about
I put my ear down to that puddle
I could hear one of them shout
We're goin' to the Amoeba Hop
Everybody's gonna be there
Got my eye on a cute paramecium
You know the one with the wavy hair
Rockin' and rollin' shakin' our cells
and flappin' our flagella all over
Well the good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop
(That's what I heard... I mean it! I mean it!)
Then I spied a shy protozoan
Swingin' all by hisself
He was lookin' for a partner to shake a leg with
But everyone was dancin' with everybody else
So he was so lonely till Mother Nature
Showed him what to do
He boogied down he did a little binary fission
Split his-cellf in two (and now he's got a partner)
For the Amoeba Hop
Everybody gonna be there
My, oh my, of nucleoli
Have you ever seen such a perfect pair?
Rockin' and rollin' shakin' their cells
Slappin' their cilia all over
Well, the good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop
Good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop
Some folks that one-celled animals
Don't know how to swing
People who say that... are wrong
'Cause I saw a band of algae
Get up there and sing:
"When the red red robin comes
bob-bob-bobbin' along"
But to them it's a monster song!
Oooh the puddle was jumpin'
So was I
I guess I lost my head
In my excitement I splashed it dry
Oh my god I thought they was dead!
But no! They just come splashin' down
Right here into my hand
And sure enough I could still hear
That swingin' algae band Sayin'
We're going to the Amoeba Hop,
Everybody gonna be there,
Got my eye on a cute paramecium,
Look at the hair girls! Look at the hair!
Rockin' and rollin' shakin' our cells
Slappin' pseudopodia all over
Well the good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop
Good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop-hop hop bada
Good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop!
...followed by THIS:
When the Red, Red Robin comes Bob, Bob Bobbin' Along
written by Harry Woods
part of "The Jolson Story", and recorded by Al Jolson
has also been recorded by Mandy Patinkin
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along, along,
There'll be no more sobbing when he starts throbbing
His own sweet song.
Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head,
Get up, get up, get out of bed,
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red,
Live, love, laugh and be happy.
What if I've been blue,
Now I'm walking through fields of flowers,
Rain may glisten, but I still listen for hours and hours.
I'm just a kid again, doing what I did again, singing a song,
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along.
...yields a kaiju-class robin redbreast that might consider Mothra a healthy dinner, with leftovers.
Silly, I know, but I HAD to post it to get it out of my head. And I wanted to see if you had considered other song combinations like this before. Thoughts?
