Technically that’s the minimum number of words that the Navy stipulated when they paid for a propagandized version of “Crocodile Rock”, so the band can just play the rest as an instrumental.
Aaaaahh I love words that sound like they go together due to syllables and rhythm..
I wonder why we haven’t found more mummified walrus bodies in Egyptian tombs. What, too good for them? I’d like to see the Ammut even try to eat out a walrus heart. It’s wayyy in there.
Nah: Wildly different songs (this is from a song I wrote circa 2003), but if I’d known there was military funding to be had, yeah, “Crocodile Rock” parody incoming.
Cold: Wow, two croc-related posts in a row! The heart may be behind a whole lotta blubber, but the fat’s the best part of the brisket.
I’m still confused about why the mummy is being called Bastet when there clearly isn’t a cat head under those wrappings, but maybe Bastet was infamous for altering deals?
Uh… the intro and outro were in 3/4, with the bass playing the D string sorta like 10-0-0-12-0-0-14-0-0-12-0-0 or something like that, and the guitar was clean, sliding between whole notes high on the g and b strings, I think. Simple drum beat on the ride.
Then the verses were in 4/4, with a dumb, jumpy bass and the guitar playing high whole notes. Simple drums on the hat.
The chorus was 4/4 and bad.
Another verse had the lyrics: This song’s for Betty / You’re never ready / Throwing confetti / Play with your teddy

I really hope this series ends by looping back around to Equals walking into the restaurant.
Also, due to mentions of parodying Crocodile Rock, I am legally required to post this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR0gOEyK6Tg
Even if that was the plan, I’d have to change it now! C’mon, man, I can’t play to stated hopes or expectations!
(For the record, that wasn’t the plan. The plan was actually only for three episodes.)
Those first two panels are great, by the way.

What is a walrus if not a sea cat? They’ve got everything. Whiskers, laziness, fondness for fish, the ability to loaf…
“this is from a song I wrote circa 2003” I really want to see that song now. Even if it’s just the tabs, or just the lyrics, or whatever ya got.

That’s about all I can give you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I appreciate it! I had no use or reason for wanting more details about that song, but the curiosity was poignant, and it is sated.
