I finally had half an hour (No, seriously. This week has been all doctors. GAH) to upload the first clanker song. There’s two more to deal with.
Also the Little Pickle (Younger DIL) had her add taken down from face book for…. selling weapons. It’s candy sprinkle pocket knives. I had a more dangerous one by 8 and I still have all my arms and fingers and eyes, and keep in mind that I’m nature’s own klutz. So she’s very down hearted. Give her some love. Like her business page on FB or Instagram, or of course, buy something sharp from: Shiny, Sharp, and Stylish… Welcome! To Morrigan’s Mercantile!
This is number 18 in the sound track of No Man’s Land. If you’ve read the book, you know exactly when.
According To Hoyt 
…now I need to write lyrics for “The Clankerman” and run them through Suno.
“Give us a song, you’re the Clankerman
Give us a song right now…”

You quote that song (sorta, heh) right on the heels of my brother telling me about the popular theory that Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” is written about the only straight man in a gay bar, who has NO IDEA. So now I’m giggling for about four different reasons.

I mean, you can make that theory work, ish, but Billy literally wrote it about his time playing piano in a bar. And I doubt he was ever that naive.

As often happens to me, Weird Al’s parody has become the “canonical” version of the lyrics in my head.
“Sling us a web, you’re the Spider-Man
Sling us a web, tonight…”

Never heard that one. In high school, a friend and I did lyrics for “The Leper Man,” though.
“He said, ‘Bill, I believe this is killing me,’
As a smile dropped away from his face…”

It’s just chock-full of masterful lines. It’s billed as a parody of Billy Joel’s song, but what it’s really parodying is Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man movie (the 2002 film). I mean, look at lines like this:
” ‘With great power comes great responsibility’ —
That’s the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben.
If you missed it, don’t worry: they’ll say the line
Again and again and again.”
Or this from the last verse:
“Oh and M.J. is all hot for Peter now.
Ah, but Peter he just shuts her down.
Mary Jane, don’t you cry, you can give it a try
Again when the sequel comes ’round.”
It’s just brilliant on many levels. And it doesn’t hurt that “Piano Man” is one of the best tunes ever written.

BTW, that “as a smile dropped away from his face” line is awful. Have an “angry like”. :-D

Leprosy!
Bits and pieces falling off of me.
Now I’m half the man I used to be.
I believe — it’s leprosy.

We did a bunch of Leprosy songs, but all Billy Joel based.
“Leprosy! Is such a lonely word!
Everyone is so uncool!”

I have never seen a single ep of Game of Thrones, so I’d never heard its theme music until I saw South Park’s parody of it. Now I know the tune …with lyrics. (IYKYK)

Sigh… I bought my new kitchen knife set on Amazon. I think that, unless I am up against someone who is extremely skilled, my 14″ chef’s knife is rather more dangerous than those pocket knives.
