Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 23, 2010

Dill, that didn’t sound too sincere….

But look, his lip is trembling … I think he was really touched.

I think I just wet my pants.

He’s gonna weep at Chopsticks…

She plays with such intensity, if only she hadn’t left Julliard to teach at Cul de Sac Elementary.

What a great song! A little Googling suggests it isn’t real, but it should be! Richard Thompson and a decent song-writer could have the makings of a children’s classic for generations to come.

I can already sense Raffi picking this one up!

I agree, Richard–this needs to be a real song (with even more verses!)

A girl chewing gum, A cud chewing cow. What is the difference? Oh I can see now. Tis the look of intelligence, on the cud chewing cow.

Guess whose parents never bought me Bazooka Joe?

i see a duet in the classroom on the horizon

miss bliss and tommy fretwork

ahhhh the sounds, the lyrics

move over America’s got talent

Miss Bliss lets out her inner Keith Emerson.

Alice is contemplating how many pieces of chewing gum she would need to disappear with a (BLAM!).

Richard, I love the song! Now I won’t be able to get it out of my head all day…

I sense an instant classic around the house, and less gum to clean up.

My grandkids would love this song! And the BLAM!! part – wow, perfect for percussion accompaniment!

The bubble gum companies are going to love this.

Hmmmmm……..shes definitely no Jo Ann Castle on that piano!!

I think Dill got frightened by the Blam.

Alice just don’t give a ****.

Kinda scary.
