Hey, Remember Len?

[sodamntired]

yeah...the steal my sunshine band from Toronto

 

 

aaaannnnnyyyywwwaaayyyy......they have released a new album, believe it or not.

 

it has a song called Kookoo Docks...and its like Dr. Seuss on crack.

 

i love it, and everyone I play it for loves it to

 

 

now, i'm not guaranteeing you would love it to, but if you like offbeat music, you'll dig it...

 

here's the lyrics:

 

Len - Kookoo Docks

 

all aboard to the kookoo docks

where all the wonky kookoos flock

where kookoo birds hide from the fox

in colored wooden kookoo clocks

 

yes, all aboard to the kookoo docks

where fizzled pots wear purple smocks

and ozzelets wear striped socks

and the sky is filled with polka dots

 

we'll sail down to the pixie creek

where all the dew drop pixies sit

what really makes the pixies sick

is when you feed them pixie sticks

 

we'll go where wimbles make their wine

with rotting grapes and turpentine

and all the slimy serpents climb

and intertwine with violent minds

 

we'll travel to the spiral sands

where whatsits live in caravans

and old giraffe with staff in hand

makes spiral symbols in the sand

 

dance with us at fire bay

where all the rubber tires stay

and broken tricycles are laid

beneath the sky thats green is gray

 

then we'll drift to lily cove

where willy tode i'm told once dove

but being such a silly lad

he landed on a lilly pad

 

come aboard and sink with us

here's some tea to drink with us

close one eye and wink with us

close them both and blink with us

 

keep them closed now think with us

hold your breath and shrink with us

now walk into the keyhole latch

into the giant flower patch

 

quick hop aboard, anchors away

come on, we haven't got all day

there's songs to sing and things to say

there's corn to pop and horns to play

 

and if you really want it so

we'll go to where once fast is slow

where everything hot is cold

and up is down or so i'm told

 

oh no, what's that doffle sound?

i think this ship is going down

we're too far at sea to be found

all of us are going to drown

 

we've seen the last of kookoo docks

our hats will wash up on the rocks

our faces will all be forgot

we've got to give it all we've got

 

fill the bucketsm close the hatch

man the lifeboat, spin the wheel

grab the ropes, turn the mast

hooray the storm has gone at last

 

onward bound to kookoo docks

where all the wonky kookoos flock

where kookoo birds hide from the fox

in colored wooden kookoo clocks

 

 

now...pretty zany, isn't it?

 

 

give it a listen here

 

now, i expect a few "its not that great" posts but i say, take it for what it is...complete randomness

 

 

good night and good luck

[Crusader]

[Kumquat]

Steal my sunshine?

 

...Fuck yeeeuh.

[no yu begin wher i end]

The brother and sister were a bit...touchy-feely?

[garsk]

well, i will be sure to pass it over on the record store.

[Dan #2]

i liked the single after Steal My Sunshine, though i can't remember what it was called.

[Crusader]

I was lying on the grass one Sunday morning of last week... indulging in my self esteem.

[Dan #2]

hahaha that's it. Still can't remember the name though.

[Crusader]

Wasn't that just steal my sunshine?

[Dan #2]

Wait maybe it was. There were two and i don't know the difference.

[Seanathon]

It was the video where they were in school, I think. Can't remember what it was called though.
