What does it say about me that I prefer this version (via Neil Gaiman's Journal):
I'm in love with that kid's voice.

Along with introducing The Captain and The Nipper to the Clash and Joy Division, it's important to me that they both have a healthy dose of folk music and protest songs. So this past couple of weeks have been Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Peter Paul and Mary, and yes, even some Joan Baez. So we were watching some videos tonight before bed ("If I Had a Hammer" has been one of the nightly songs for the last two weeks), and we watched the following version of that same song. As the video began, The Nipper, who usually only has eyes full of watching, points his still-chubby pointy-finger at the screen and says: "Hey look! They're singing in cheese!"
I just thought that was pretty awesome, and I figured you'd want to share the awesome. So here you have it: Peter, Paul, and Mary with "If I Had A Hammer" in a cheese:
And no, that does not mean the music is cheesy. It means they don't make stage props like they used to.

The last few posts have begun with doubleyou.
to the tune of "Greensleeves":
What guy is this who deigns to doze
upon my couch is resting
whom children greet with cheers and shrieks
and cats are plainly ignoring?
This, This is cenobyte's Da,
whom cats ignore; the kids' Papa.
This, this is cenobyte's Da
upon the couch is sleeping.
to the tune of "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen"
The cat is in the turkey
my husband's in the rye!
Kids have been viewing kung fu shows
since seven-thirty-five!
The tree's lopsided; the sink's a mess, and the laundry isn't dry!
Oh-oh tie things like ribbon 'round my neck, 'round my neck! Oh-oh tie things like ribbons 'round my neck!
to the tune of "Silent Night"
Eggnog and rum, Cola and rum,
Seven and rum! Juice and rum!
Shots of whiskey; shots of rye.
shots of vodka and glasses of wine.
Sleep in hazy peace;
Sleep in drunken peace.
Merry Christmas everyone. I made some songs for you.
