It's Groundhog Day, and that can only mean two things: the annual appearance of Punxsutawney Phil, and the singing of the Groundhog Day Song.
I composed this song when I was ten years old, and I have sung it (out loud!) every February 2nd for the past 25 years:
Let's hear it for groundhogs
'Cause they're really neat!
They're small and cute 'hogs,
And smell better than feet.
So if you like groundhogs,
Give a great big cheer! (YAY!)
Hip-hip-hooray,
Hip-hip-hooray,
Groundhog Day is here!
Hip-hip-hooray,
Hip-hip-hooray,
Groundhog Day is here!

PS: Phil sez six more weeks of winter. Foo.
I don't know if there's any place for this in the land of Ishbadiddle, but I did a radio interview last week with Gerald Casale of DEVO. Here's the transcript:

For anyone looking for some different perspectives on current events (including some news not reported in the US press), I highly recommend the excellent roundup of links being compiled by the fine folks at World Press Review magazine...
Thanks for the hilarious movie script rundown. I always knew I should have developed my own script idea, "There Goes the Neighborhood", which combined three of your five categories! Maybe it isn't too late...
Title: There Goes The Neighborhood
Log Line: When four little green men (literally) are rescued from their crashed spaceship, the US Government must hide them from the prying eyes of the media. Where better than the Federal Witness Relocation Program? The aliens are matched up with a notorious gangster and his moll, and the lot of them are shipped to Peoria to live as a family. Hilarity ensues.
[NB: If you steal this script idea, I know some small aliens who have become quite adept at breaking kneecaps. Got it?]
