Crooning Chameleon Curmudgeons

by Meg on January 2, 2007

[Piano playing in the background]

Big green lizard: "Boy, the way Glen Miller played… Songs that made the hit parade.Guys like us, we had it made.

Together: "Those were the days."

Little grey lizard: And you know who you were theeeeeen!"

Big green lizard: "girls were girls and men were men."

Together: "Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover agaaaain"

Big green lizard: "Didn’t need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight.Gee, our old LaSalle ran great."

Together: "Those weerrre the daaaaaaaaaaaaaaays."

Hee hee! The big green guy is DEFINITELY singin’ I love how a creature usually seen as unattractive can be transformed to “cute” by a witty caption. Well done, Meg! (Special mention to Archie & Edith Bunker) ;-)

Oh golly! I hope he doesn’t sneeze and fling the little guy off into the distance!

omg, cute little green nubblies and a study in greys! Can anybody explain this fascinating behaviour? Is the small ‘meleon the child of big greenie?

Heyyy I didn’t *know* I could click my ‘back arrow’ so fast!
Aaahhhhh! I’m gone, as in, gone.

6 Esther 01.02.07 at 4:56 pm

Green Guy reminds me of George Burns telling a joke, and that’s Gracie on top. George Burns & Gracie Allen CHRISTMAS #2 (you Tube)

Your commentary is hilarious! It made my first day back at work after the New Year a little less painful. The picture is great, too.

I love them! Soooo adorable!

18 sharon 01.02.07 at 6:32 pm

Too funny…all the show’s catch phrases are flooding back. “Stifle yourself”…”Dingbat”…
“Meathead”…*sigh* now I’m gonna have to check the TVLand listings.

Awesome captioning.

19 NebraskaErin 01.02.07 at 6:33 pm

How can something so crusty-looking look so cute?

Oh yeah, Rule #7.

20 Mam Adar 01.02.07 at 6:44 pm

Kudos, Meg, for getting all the lyrics right! What a marvelous shot that is–lizard feet like that fascinate me.

LOL, Meg!
Goils were goils and men were men! (Now I have an earworm.)
I like the green dude’s button eye.

26 Susan R. 01.02.07 at 7:05 pm

OMG! Don’t they also look like Jim Henson muppets? I can just see them on a “Muppet Show” episode with the Swedish Chef.

27 chacha 01.02.07 at 9:48 pm

32 emily somone 01.03.07 at 1:47 am

33 Jenn 01.03.07 at 2:26 am

Uhm. Cute, yes.

But why do I think that sticky ol’tongue is about to fly out and NAB that youngster?

I don’t think chameleons are noted for their childcare…

34 laserone 01.03.07 at 8:20 am

I think the funniest thing is the the singing! You’re hillarious! LOL

37 housecat 01.04.07 at 3:25 am

Oh, this made my day – the pic and the caption!

I was in a horrible mood but it put the biggest smile on my face.

I especially like the part where bebe chameleon sings like Edith Bunker. Hee.

Get in my belly!

39 alia 01.05.07 at 4:24 pm

eeeeeeee chameleon-face! :D Chams are so awesome. I love to see them doing their leaf-walking dance as they decide where they’re going to put their mitten-feet. :)
