I google-cheated. Wouldn't have got there in a million years - didn't even realise there was a female member in that particular band.

[kinboshi]

Great band - didn't recognise her at all.

[Tal]

Crash Test Dummies?

Don't remember her name if it is her. Don't remember if if it isn't, come to think of it.

The great Weird Al parody:



"He found that Mr Happy was missing..." gets me every time.

Meanwhile, I found this:



Happy Sunday.

(Really hope that is the girl from the Crash Test Dummies now!)

We got there - Ellen Reid, of Crash Test Dummies.

The lead singer, Brad Roberts, had a very odd voice. He had a bad car accident, which means he can no longer play guitar, but I believe they Toured as recently as 2011.

I still cant upload You Tube Videos properly, but see Miss Reid in all her pomp & prime here......the track, "God shuffled his feet" has extraordinary lyrics, imo.

After seven days
He was quite tired so God said:
"Let there be a day
Just for picnics, with wine and bread"
He gathered up some people he had made
Created blankets and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

So he said:"Once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out into the warm air
He thought of how his friends would come to see;
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him: "I beg your pardon:
I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke
Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

Afternoons and Coffeespoons is my favourite.



Brad Roberts has an incredible voice.

[Tal]

Funny that. I really did think they had one hit.

Learning is fun.

Good grief!

I thought paradies were a recent thing.

Love that band.

Afternoons and Coffeespoons is my favourite.

Yes, another very good one by CTD.

I was not so keen on mm mmm mmm, but terrific lyrics & I loved the video, which was a huge favourite on MTV.

Ellen features in it nicely, too. Ooohhh.

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

I like choosing Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm as a song question in games of hangman. Its quite high variance.

Eh? How that work?

What question(s) do you ask?
