The Muties Song

[serpentstar]

We have no car stereo, as of Friday, due to the mechanics switching the battery off when they installed the new clutch (the old clutch was worn down to the rivets, which were themselves worn down), meaning we need a code because the stereo thinks it's been stolen. Thus my 4-hour drive to Suffolk on Friday was noiseless, other than occasional yells

There are ways, so many ways, around that. And AM radio. Why do you hate the BBC and freedom?

(I'll read the lyrics later when I have a contexty tune)

My options are:

Remove car stereo, acquire serial number, use serial number to get code (via internet or possibly phone call to Ford).

Remove car stereo, replace car stereo with another car stereo.

Acquire a music player of some sort that plugs in to the cig lighter and has either its own speakers or a set of headphones.

I didn't have time to do any of those things on Friday. I would probably have killed for the chance to listen to BBC Radio 4 for eight hours instead of my own croonings, so long as the victim deserved to die.

Hmmm. I'd have not driven. That much time in silence... often bad.

Not at all bad for filthy filk. :0)

My car has been without any form of sound system for about 2 years now. I can come out with some horrible noises and giiberish songs when driving alone, which some might see as a useful outlet.

oxfordgirl informed me on Friday that it's not filk 'cos it doesn't have a chorus for the appreciative audience to join in with. I am almost glad that despite having been *aware* of filk for at least two decades, I do not know enough about it to be sure of its rules.

Oh! Sorry. I may have been drunk by then. I could have sworn you actually said the words, "It's not filk because...".

Barnstormer are awesome. :)
