Alyssa's Thoughts

Any theme CD that Chris and I do usually involves bonus tracks---songs that are funny, relevant sound bytes from TV shows or movies, and the occasional "in-joke" between Chris and me. Well, I feel like my animal CD basically consists of a lot of bonus tracks. Many of these songs are just all very silly in and of themselves and so this ended up just being a very silly CD.

As for the Alyssa challenge, I like the two tracks I put on by the Beatles and the Police. They seem very apropos for this CD. And TMBG's "Dinner Bell" is one of my all-time favorite tracks by them. I just love the polyphony of the song. It reminds me of a song that was a round with three parts that my roommate Kim and I used to sing sometimes while walking to school. One verse goes:

One bottle of pop,
Two bottle of pop,
Three bottle of pop,
Four bottle of pop,
Five bottle of pop,
Six bottle of pop,
Seven bottle, bottle of pop.

Another verse goes:

Don't dump your drink in my backyard, my backyard, my backyard.
Don't dump your drink in my backyard.
My backyard's full.

The last part goes:

Fish and chips and vinegar, vinegar, vinegar.
Fish and chips and vinegar.
Pepper, pepper, pepper, salt.

Come to think of it, that song would have been perfect for this CD, eh?

Well, while I'm strolling down memory lane, the final track of my CD (Sesame Street's "Captain Vegetable") also makes me think of Kim. If you haven't figured it out yet, she and I used to sing together a lot. Anyhow, one time we were singing "Captain Vegetable" really loudly as we were walking up to her apartment. And then we get to her door and she swings it open singing, "My name is Eddie, I eat spaghetti---OOPS!" We had walked in right as her roommates were praying over their meal. Tee hee!
