-I don't want no one minute yam
-Touch the hand of the yam
-Just a yam, with a yam's courage
-Gimme gimme gimme a yam after midnight
-I am an innocent yam
-In just 7 days I can make you a yam
-Ain't no other yam
-What a yam what a yam what a mighty fine yam
etc etc. I was half watching spinal tap, and cooking me up some sweet sweet yams. I was distracted from the film, I find it difficult to watch or enjoy things I have seen before, except thins with a Queen soundtrack, but I made sure I saw the bit with the dwarves dancing round a miniature stone henge; brilliant. If only they had done a song about root vegetables.
in the meantime, how about suggesting some more appropriate alternate lyrics. I can't devote too much time to it, I have to get to bed early and plot my working day tomorrow. Alas no sleep in; wish me luck getting down the hill safely because its cold out there. Or maybe it is not so bad, after all, the cat chose to be out there.
What is the attraction? Probably nothing much, she is pretty easily amused.
On TV at the moment is a documentary on Malcolm X. It reminds me of wandering into that hiphop bar (Route 66?). I was just so damned white, and deep down I knew I did not have the funk. I conformed to my racial stereotype by not being able to dance. That, of course, threw the gender stereotype, but I can still draw lessons from the situation.
