Theresa, thanks so much. This reminded me of my misspent youth so much. I loved that album to death and played it so often my parents almost kick me out of our house because of that! Ah, good times!
When I worked at a pet store right after college, we had a c*ckatiel that we taught to whistle the first bit of the Imperial March from Star Wars. It was hilarious watching people react to him!
Baking like potatas, baking in the sun! I LOVE the B-52s and I just made a mix CD for my 4 years old niece-Rock Lobster is now her favourite song. They played a free show here in Montreal last summer, they are still so amazing!
I could never understand the lyrics to RL, what with the combination of southern US accents and camp, and now I can see through the magic of the Web and CO, they’re even sillier than I imagined.
Those birds are a hoot. My mom has one named Bobby. He wolf whistles, meows like a cat and then says ‘here kitty kity kitty”. If you do something he doesn’t like, he says “stop, dont do that’…he learned after having sat on my moms shoulder while she was on the treadmil and he would pick at a mole on he neck, and she would say ‘stop that, don’t do that’. He uses God’s name…nicely mind you. He calls out “Barry” my mom’s husbands name. He says other stuff too, but I can’t remember.
They are funny, funny, creatures.
BANG BANG on the door, baby!!!

Excellent! I’m just going to have to go into a state of denial about that video being made 32 years ago . . . . . . gad.
*LA LA LA I CAN”T HEAR YOU LA LA LA”
Sorry, Fird Birfle! The date on that video is certainly a typo. No doubt about it.
harrumph. That’s more like it.

Still Pouting, but Adorably.
CO doesn’t usually make me feel so old.
BTW, fantastic bird!

Yes, I really wanted a ‘ROCK LOBSTAH!!” to follow.
I know. I was waiting for that.
It’s a BIKINI WHALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAW!
Hop in my Chrysler, it’s as big as a whale, and about to set sail.

He definitely has the ‘do, even if it’s feathers and not hair.

Thanks again, CO. THIS is why I come here EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. For the laffs.
OH and I swear I heard a mockingbird singing the Wal-Mart alarm the other day. There’s no accounting for taste, I suppose.
