This is sort of on/off topic, but seeing that at least Terry is from Canada I was wondering if anyone has heard the Moxy Früvous song, "My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors"? It made me laugh, cuz I am definitely a "story loving baby".

Sure have!

I saw Moxy Fruvous in one of their very very first public performances at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada. That song was actually one of their first, along with 'Green Eggs and Ham'. I've also bumped into Moxy Fruvous at various other events, including a mixed concert in Ottawa, and a street show in Toronto.

They truly have some funny stuff, although their second album "Wood" sucked. They tried to stray from their funny lyric/harmonization deal, and ended up making a depressing sounding album. Their new stuff is better though.

Terry!

Well you should see my story reading baby, you should hear the things that she says,
She says "Hon, drop dead, I'd rather go to bed with Gabriel Garcia Marquez."

(Mike in funny voice)
Uhh-huh!

(Dave)
Cuddle up with William S. Burrows, leave on the light for Bell Hooks,
I've been flirtin' with Pierre Burton 'cause he's so smart in his books

(All)
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
My heart's so broke and bleedin'
(Dave)
Baby's just sitting there
(Murray)
doing some reading

(Dave)
So I started watching some TV, played my new cd player too,
She said: "Turn it off or I'll call the cops and I'll throw the book at you."
All this arguing made me get dizzy, called my doctor to come have a look
I said: "Doctor hurry!" He said:
(Murray)
"Don't worry, I'll be over when I finish my book"

(All)
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We've been livin in hovels
(Dave)
Spendin' all our money on
(Murray)
brand new novels

(Dave)
So I got myself on a streetcar and it drove right into someone,
You know the driver said:

(Jian in grizzly voice)
"I was lookin' straight ahead!"

(Dave)
But he was reading the Toronto Sun

(Jian)
"So?"

(Dave)
So my honey and me go to a counsellor to help figure out what we need
She said: "We'll get your love growing,

(Mike, in funny Dr. Ruth voice)
but before we get going, here's some books I'd like you to read."

(All)
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
Lately we've had some fricton
(Dave)
'Cause my baby's hooked on
(Murray)
short works of fiction

(Dave)
So we split and went to a party, some friends my girl said she knew
But what a sight 'cause it's authors night and the place looks like a who's who

(Dave)
Now I'm pounding the ouzo

(rest)

(Dave)
Who's a funny fella?

(rest)
W.P. Kinsella

(Dave)
Who brought the cat?

(rest)
Would Margeret Atwood?

(Dave)
Who needs a shave?

(rest)
He's Robertson Davies!

(Dave)
Ondaatje started a food fight, salmon mousse all over the scene

(All)
Spilled some dressing on Doris Lessing, these writer types are a scream!

(All)
I like to go out dancing,
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We'll be together for ages
(Dave)
Eatin' and Sleepin' and
(Jian in grizzly voice)
Eatin' and Sleepin' and
(Mike in funny Dr. Ruth voice)
Eating und Sleeping und
(Murray)
Turnin' pages.

(All)
Yeah!

I guess you do know it! I only have two of there cds, "Bargainville" and "You Will Go To The Moon". I like the latter one best. They were gifts from a wonderful man in Toronto. Nobody I know here in the States knows of them, which is a shame. They performed near here last summer, and I unfortunately couldn't go. I am hoping they come back, cuz I would love to see them.
