Rat: Where you off to, Pig? Pig: Going to see this guy perform. Today will be his swan song. Goat: Awww. That's too bad. Is he retiring? Man: I like swans. They are great. I like swans. Goat: Never mind. Pig: Why would he retire? Man: Want to hear my cow song?

What Pig says, he means. What This Guy sings, he shouldn’t.
Ambydextrous over 11 years ago
At least he’s not singing about Magna Carta Holy Grails

Wow. This guy’s lyrics are amazing. This song has so many interpretations. So full of different meanings. I wonder how long it took him to write this song.

I wish I knew want the music sounded like.If this song had a catchy beat I would like it more. Some sungs with unispired lyrics are favorites. “You an’t nothing but a Hound Dog.”“Old Man River”

I just wonder if we’re going to get another Sunday Pun-day strip tomorrow. Stephan usually follows up a Saturday pun with one of his drawn-out groaners on Sunday that I can usually see coming from a couple of light-years away.

Sums up todays “talent” quite well, I’d say. Glorified karaoke singing is all it is.
foxsinger Premium Member over 11 years ago
He was just winging it on those swan songs…
codedaddy over 11 years ago
And that, readers, is today’s joke.

Next he’ll sing eight bars on soap, and finish off with a really dirty song—on mud.
seismic-2 Premium Member over 11 years ago
Next, the giraffe song. Sung by one.
Logical Duck over 11 years ago
When showing off his level of sheer singing talent he stops at nothing.
Jeff0811 over 11 years ago
Forgive me, I didn’t read all the posts. I bet his sheep song would be just as baaa-d. Thank ewe.
Logical Duck over 11 years ago
Any theater would be lucky to get him to please their audiences.
