The Hills are Alive...
You thought that Adin having a dog was big news.
You thought Lincoln finally acknowledging that he is running for state office was big news (he's been campaigning since I met him).
You thought there was nothing left of creativity in BLD land.
You were wrong.
I warn you: the enclosed video will make Adin's dog act like the Harry from "Harry and the Lady Next Door." This video may single-handedly keep Lincoln out of office. This video may make you laugh and cry... but not in a good way.
Without further ado, in musical form, I express my feelings for the BLD.
Extra credit if you listen enough times to figure out the lyrics.

Dan Mazzucco: [admiring his torture video] Beautiful isn't it? It took me half a lifetime to invent it. I'm sure you've discovered my deep and abiding interest in pain. Presently I'm writing the definitive work on the subject, so I want you to be totally honest with me on how the video makes you feel. This being our first try, I'll use the lowest setting.

Dan Mazzucco: [calmly] As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. Really that's all this is except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking life. I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you. So, let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity so be honest. How do you feel?
[Josh cries and moans in pain]
Dan Mazzucco: Interesting.
Josh had to look up his account information to comment on your post, Dan. He must have felt very strongly about it.
Umm...did anyone else hear the first chords on the piano and all of a sudden have a strange New-Jesery-by-the-way-of-Atlanta version of "Proud Mary" start overwhelming their faculties?
Dan...I'd say that you're voice has gotten better over the years...but...well...Rob?
(Your piano playing is better than your guitar playing though.)
Ok...true confessions. I actually tried to watch it again to get more of the lyrics (which I'm sure is the true genius of the song) but couldn't hear a thing over my uncontrollable laughter, body spasms and gasping for air.
And God Bless you Betsy for filming that. How could you bear it?
Here are the lyrics, for those who have survived the initial pain of listening to this masterpiece:
"Lincoln and Laura and Shannon and Kevin
Josh & Jill Papsdorf and Merrill and Devon.
Adin Kawate and Coo Mo Dee
These are a few of the Bee-ee LD.
'Manda and Jason and Jay and Kay Porter.
Doug & Ann Doucet, the Slacks and Jess Ellsworth.
Jonathan, Hillary, Betsy, and me.
These are a few of the Bee-ee L Dee.
When the boys fight - Eliie can't sleep, when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember the BLD, and then I don't feel... so... bad."
Julie Andrews is rolling over in her grave. And she isn't even dead.
It says the video is not currently available! Please create a remix and post same.
Actually I just got it to play. No need for remix. That was excellent...songwriting.
:)
Simply spectacular. I think you should video yourself singing "Pants on the Ground" and post that too.
