The Amoeba People with an interesting little ditty
about where you is and where you ain’t.
In conjunction with your sleeping arrangements of course.
Pay attention, there’s a test later…

The Coalition of Unified Men with a look at life.
In more ways than one.
Love is in the air…

James P Connolly is a pretty good stand-up comedian.
He has his moments, like all comics do, where he might
not be killing it, but overall he’s worth the time spent.
This is a short but funny piece about regret and doing
what’s right under pressure.
Or not…

A good parody is a wonderful thing indeed.
Admittedly there is nothing worse than a bad one.
This one falls into the former category.
The original song was by John Denver and it was a
classic, this is by the Barron Knights and it is not.
I first heard this tune many years ago and I still
cannot fathom eating runny eggs before boarding
a flight, a recipe for disaster for sure.
The Barron Knights started off as a serious pop
group in the late 50’s, known as the Knights of the
Round Table, they didn’t start to gain fame for their
mirth until they started doing parodies in the mid 60’s.
As a lot of serious artists have figured out, humor
can really enhance your chances in the world of
entertainment, some drop the serious part of the
equation completely…folks like Heywood Banks and
Henry Phillips come to mind.
These folks did, and are still doing, both pop and
comedy/novelty tunes to appreciative audiences.
This has been covered by a few artists but I prefer
this version best of all…

A real fan of Monty Python and The Holy Grail put
together the two segments of the flick that spotlights
the French Taunters scenes.
John Cleese absolutely shines in his roles, especially
as the snarky Frenchman on the parapet.
I’m still quoting this gem of a movie almost forty five
years after it was released, a rare thing indeed.
Some really funny lines here, classic in every way…
