I've been whistling a certain Monty Python tune for most of today, which is fine as Monty Python is great, however I'm afraid that I can't tell you which song it is as this is a family site and it's a rather rude song. Even the title is rather suggestive... however, what I shall do is share a song that I was humming earlier in this week... partly because it's a great song and partly because they'd played it a couple of times on the radio
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye."
And oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got the last laugh now?
Now I challange you to re-read that and do it to the tune of the song!!
And yes Yip, it was from Avenue Q... hmmm, you know me too well (which is from a slightly less well known musical from the 80's)
