One of the better things about having small kids is that you get exposed to some good kids' music and shows. And good kids shows have catchy songs with easy-to-sing lyrics...I sometimes get frustrated with hard-to-sing pop songs.
Yesterday morning, the Veggie Tales song "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps" (youtube) was in my head:
There lived a man so long ago, his memory's but faint
Was not admired (did not inspire) like president or saint
But people came from far and near with their afflicted pets
For a special cure (they knew for sure)
wouldn't come from other vets
(rest of the lyrics here)
Veggie Tales shows are vaguely religious. But they have a saving grace, their unrepentantly nonsensical Silly Songs, and this is one of them.
Veggie Tales is fun, even for a secular humanist like me, but his name is LARRY THE CUCUMBER!
ReplyDeleteHe's always IN a pickle, though.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's true. I think he has to be orthodox to be pickled, though. I'm a little unclear on the rules.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was pretty clear that he's unorthodox. Have you ever even watched the show?
