Princess Leia and the worms · 26 September 05
My buddy John Whytock just emailed me a link to the NY Times website. It is a travel article written by Carrie Fisher and in it she mentions not only listening to but singing along to a song by my friends The Arrogant Worms.
And in the van we listened to some trip-appropriate local music that I had discovered online. It was by a Canadian band called the Arrogant Worms. They have one song called “A Night in Dildo,” to which we sang along: “From Woody’s Point to Come by Chance, to good old Ferryland / Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead’s mighty grand / Don’t let their names deceive you. Newfoundland’s mighty fine / so spend a night in Dildo, if you think you’ve got the time!”
I admit not all of us knew all the words, but when it came to “so spend the night in Dildo, if you think you’ve got the time!” we all sang out clear and loud. Well, most of us sang out pretty clear. O.K., mostly I sang out clear and loud, and everyone else laughed at me – everyone but my daughter.
Pretty hilarious and kinda cool all at the same time.
