Oh, and this has very little to do with anything, but over our various road trips, Shelly and I have discovered the joys of singing every single song ever recorded like Bob Dylan or (thanks to Lawrence) the B-52's. And there's no better way to annoy people than by singing "The Name Game" for an hour or more. (oORo-man, Ro-man, bo-Bo-man...Oo...mwahaha). :) Carey _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2001 08:02:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Sarah Withanh Subject: Re: alternate tunings All of these references make me think of Christine Lavin singing the word "Potato" to the tune of the Mexican Hat Dance.

I sing this song all the bloody time -- last time it found its way into my head, funnily enough, was at a Christine Lavin show. And yay for discovering Christine. She's one of those artists who really does it all -- funny songs, sad songs, baton twirling...and she's a totally sweet person to boot. Heehee: and if you get yourself a copy of Subway Series, you get to hear my friend Gordon "singing" on "Sensitive New Age Guys." :) Carey, who's become a posting fool lately...what's up with that? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2001 12:37:23 -0400 From: "Paul Parry" Subject: RE: alternate tunings Kristen Nelson said: >And the "ABC Song" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" are really the same >tune, when sung over and over and over and over. ..and they're both interchangable with Baa Baa Black Sheep, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and most nursery rhymes.

Apologies to anyone (like me) who'll never be able to read another of her poems without repeating "a three hour tour" after the first quatrain.
