No kidding? I heard the song only once . . . and between the pop singer's tendency to mumble, and the implicit rhyme . . . I really thought I heard him sing as I have "cited."

[MN Dave]

No kidding?

Would I kid about that?   

[karlhenning]

You might; why not?

[MN Dave]

You might; why not?

This is DEVO we're talking about.  0:)

[karlhenning]

Yes, those lovable spuds from O-High-O!

[MN Dave]

Also coming soon: Rush and Squeeze.   

[MN Dave]

Hey, look at me! I have two ears and I'm putting music in them! Weeeee! Hooohaaaa!!!! Woweewoweewoooooowwww!!!

[Elgarian]

Remember those good old days, when we whinged about stubbed toes? We just don't seem to get into conversations like that any more. Sign of the times, I guess.

[MN Dave]

We can play Hide the Hedgehog.

And furthermore, blah.

[DavidW]

Hey that's a Kesha song.  Yeah it's not a good song, just a song.

You make a compelling case, Dave, and I for one am persuaded over to your point of view on this. I just wondered, though, whether your argument couldn't be improved by rethinking the bit I've highlighted in red? Just a thought.

We can play Hide the Hedgehog.

Hedgehog, hedgehog,
Burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
Hedgehog, hedgehog,
Can't you see?
You were always meant for me.
Who knows what I'm waiting for,
When I sit I feel quite sore,
Hedgehog, hedgehog, come with me,
Away, away to Innisfree.

[karlhenning]

I'll drink to that!

[Elgarian]

Hedgehog, hedgehog,
Burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
Hedgehog, hedgehog,
Can't you see?
You were always meant for me.
Who knows what I'm waiting for,
When I sit I feel quite sore,
Hedgehog, hedgehog, come with me,
Away, away to Innisfree.

That's not far short of genius. I've never encountered a finer piece of hedgehog verse, truly.

[karlhenning]

I haven't yet met the hedgehog capable of resisting such eloquence.

You guys are cracking me up...

[Elgarian]

I wandered lonely as a cloud,
For ages, over dales and hills;
Then all at once I sat down on
A host of golden hedgehog quills.
I jumped right up and cried out loud,
This isn't my idea of thrills!
So no more hedgehogs please, for me;
I think I'll stick with daffodils.

[karlhenning]

Your sad pavans put the hurt on my hedgehog.
