Is it bad that...

[cadhla]

...I want Lady Mondegreen to cover that world-famous Rockapella hit, 'Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiago?'? I mean, really? Because I think it would be almost infinitely cool to do so, and it's hard to get such ideas out of one's head after they've managed to take root.

But can't you just hear it? We need more skat

Isn’t that an early cosmological model? The world is a flat layer of comic books, supported on the backs of penguins?

I didn't get enough sleep last night either. I don't think batyatoon did either.

Did you have bad dreams?

Not even touching the 'Carmen Sandiago' suggestion, are ya?

[ladymondegreen]

Actually, I'm just tired. I don't mind more scat, but I'm going to have to learn the words to the Carmen Sandiago theme.

I am rocking round like a record baby, round round. And it would be funny as hell to pop off with this in the middle of one of our serious phases, since it involves a) scat, b) geography puns, and c) primal scream therapy.

Now, *there* is the reminder ... :) Always forgot to ask you about the "Troy" lyrics ...! *pretty pleeeassse with a cherry on top?*

I *adore* Lady Mondegreen. Wish I could hear you gals at OVFF. But since I won't make it this year, you have to make sure someone records it, ja?

[cadhla]

I'll send the lyrics to you straight away, oh my dear. And I'm sure we'll be recorded, because that's just what happens; I'll negotiate with the girls about some sort of MP3s for you.

(We're a big enough group to require negotiation. So very, very bizarre.)

[allisona]

which is a perfect opportunity to ask:

Could I possibly get the lyrics for "Galadriel's Lament"? And if an MP3 for that song was ever available I would be extremely happy.

I'm presently collecting up Tolkien songs for UT to sing at "The Gathering of The Fellowship" in December and I would love to work up an arrangement of that song.

[cadhla]

I've sent you the lyrics, and I'll check with Eloise to see whether she got an MP3 of us performing 'Galadriel' at Concertino. If she did, I'll send it to you; if she didn't, I'll record one and just try to explain the layering at the end.

(It's not that complex, but I always get flummoxed when I try to layer with myself. And then my head explodes.)

Penguins!

[penguinzero]

She'll go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!

Well she’ll ransack Pakistan & run a scam in Scandinavia.
Then she’ll stick ‘em up Down Under & go pick-pocket Perth
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

It's been years since I saw the show, but the theme still sometimes gets stuck in my head (especially that bit). Don't believe I've ever heard Lady Mondegreen's singing, but anything that increases the general supply of amusing music is a good thing...
