The Carrot Song - saga continues!

I am so inadequate that I actually looked up the words for the Carrot Song.

They are as follows:

My Girl

Do you miss me? It's carrot!
Do you love me? It's carrot!
I love you. You love me.
Carrot! Carrot! Carrot!

Do you tink of me? It's carrot.
Do you love me? It's carrot.
I love you, You love me.
Carrot! Carrot!

...Does that mean the song is euphemistically pornographic?

*confused*

[tree_and_leaf]

Or mayne someone misunderstood "Diamonds are a girl's best friend"?

[dolorous_ett]

On the face of it it seems unlikely, but at this stage I don't think it's a good idea to rule anything out!

[dolorous_ett]

I don't know. Can you find a Winchester in a cage there? ;)

[dolorous_ett]

I've just been reading that. An impressive peice of sporking, but I can't believe being exposed to so much poison is good for you. Do take care!

And yes - what's the betting that they are illegal immigrant liberal dole-scrounging Chinese slashers? I like them already!

[ignipes]

Bet you a dollar somebody somewhere on line has written fanfic about that.

[aerama]

That's...wow.

It reminds me of finding out that the extremely lovely song called Sukiyaki was about strips of beef, or something. Unless of course the friend that told me that was LYING.

Though, still, with very little work, that could still be a Pigg song. Reggie really does love his carrots.

Funnily, I came to it from the opposite perspective - I thought it was a song to teach children to take more than one helping of vegetables, and was a little underwhelmed when I realised it was about that tired old chestnut, Love...

Not that it makes much of a difference from a Pigg perspective, I suppose...

[aerama]

as per your icon, this line: "Do you love me? It's carrot." is disquieting. Or, rather, just WEIRD. Like there should be another word in there, or something.
BTW I didn't actually get a chance to SEE the video until last night, as it turned out - hence the icons - but I would have thought it was just about carrots and for carrots and carrots carrots carrots too. Well, carrots have family, I guess.

I'm Back

[aerama]

So I had to take screenshots for icons
you know
just in case

Yay!

[dolorous_ett]

Icon love! I've changed the title icon for this entry accordingly...

Thank you so much - I'm rubbish at making icons, and really appreciate people who are good at it!

Re: Yay!

[aerama]

It looks even better now!

I can't take too much credit for fabulousness this time - I just hovered over my keyboard with one finger on the Alt and the other on the Printscreen, trying to quick-capture the scenes I liked. Had to do it a few times. Then I just cropped!!

Now, when I get back...I _might_ be able to do an animated shot with my handy-dandy program. That is, unless by then you are thoroughly sick of carrots talking about carrots (which I have decided this song is about, no human factor At All)

Re: Yay!

[dolorous_ett]

Well, I think they are fantastic - and at my technological level - I've never yet worked out how to make an icon move...

I think you're right - it's about carrots loving carrots - and we should cast off our human-centric perpective and see this love as the beautiful thing it is! Theirloveissocarrot!

[st_aurafina]

But... But we eat them! *is confused* I don't understand why the food is happy to be eaten.

[dolorous_ett]

I know - like several other things about the song, it's really puzzling. Perhaps Aerama's right - the carrots are just talking to each other and it's got nothing to do with being eaten at all?

[aerama]

I have noticed that it is an odd property of food that it can be happy to be eaten.
"Pick me!" says the perfectly-ripe banana in the market.

[dolorous_ett]

Or the last delicious slice of cake on the plate...
