A hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards
A hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards
A hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards
Oh my word! Have you heard? Hummingbird. Backwards.
They need a lot of nectar to fuel all this flapping
They need a lot of nectar to fuel all this flapping
They need a lot of nectar to fuel all this flapping
Sugary solution to keep them from flagging
Did you know a
Hummingbird
Flaps three thousand times a minute
So fast you cannot see it
Way too fast to see it

Flaps three thousand times a minute
So fast you cannot see it
Way too fast to see it
A hummingbird’s heart is precision engineering
A hummingbird’s heart is precision engineering
A hummingbird’s heart is precision engineering
Streamlined shape really is truly endearing
Imagine the level of coordination
Imagine the level of coordination
Imagine the level of coordination
To manage that BPM with double circulation
Did you know a
Hummingbird
Flaps three thousand times a minute
So fast you cannot see it
Way too fast to see it
Whoa, whoa

Flaps three thousand times a minute
So fast you cannot see it
Way too fast to see it
Oh yeah!

The God-fearing folks of Salem
Ain’t feeling too well
They’re coughing and convulsing
As if at the gates of Hell
Something isn’t right
Salem has gone foul
The clouds are closing in
And the wind begins to HOWL
There are witches here amongst us
Something must be done
To rid the town of Salem
Of the Infernal One
First we’ll lock them up
Make sure they can’t get loose
Then we’ll lead these ladies
To the hangman’s noose
If you don’t believe in witches
Then you don’t believe in God
Must get them to the gallows
To hang for being odd
She’s as odd as two left legs
She’s as odd as a duck called Dave
I’ve seen her casting spells
Her soul cannot be saved!
The Devil is amongst us
Poisoning our flock
Must get her to the court and
We’ll stand her in the dock.
She says she’s innocent
But we’ll make her repent
There’s only one concern
That hanging’s too good-
So let the witch BURN
So bind their arms behind them
‘Cos the time is nigh
The time is for justice
Bring the noose nice and high!
She’s starting to pray
But it’s all an act
She’ll go back to Satan
With whom she made a pact
If you don’t believe in witches
Then you don’t believe in God
Must get them to the gallows
To hang for being odd
She’s as odd as two left legs
She’s as odd as a duck called Dave
I’ve seen her casting spells
Her soul cannot be saved!
They’ve kicked away the ladder
And she’s tearing at the rope
Fair play, she’s got fight
Never giving up hope
Now life is draining out
She’s death-bound no doubt
Her rocking, swollen head
Is well and truly Faaaaahahahhhh!
The witch is truly dead
But some still afflictions
So we’ve brought in a priest
To give them benedictions
The curses still remain
Oh, here we go again
So grab the next recluse
Her neck needs a noose
If you don’t believe in witches
Then you don’t believe in God
Must get them to the gallows
To hang for being odd
She’s as odd as two left legs
She’s as odd as a duck called Dave
I’ve seen her casting spells
Her soul cannot be saved!
If you don’t believe in witches
Then you don’t believe in God
Must get them to the gallows
To hang for being odd
She’s as odd as two left legs
She’s as odd as a duck called Dave
I’ve seen her casting spells
Her soul cannot be saved!

Ode To Evolution

It’s the real reason
It’s the real real reason
It’s the real reason
It’s the real real reason
It’s the real reason
It’s the real real reason
It’s the real reason we breathe air
So you’re swimming in the sea
But you wanna be like me
Your oxygen’s dissolved
Because you’re not evolved
Chromosomal lottery
Genetic delivery
Whom survives can procreate
It’s all chance, not fate
It’s all chance, not fate
Your great-great-great-great
Great-great-great-great
Great-great-great grandmother
Was a fish
Your great-great-great-great
Great-great-great-great
Great-great-great grandfather
Was a fish
I know I might have missed a few greats
But this is important so wait-
It’s beyond my c-c-c-computation
That a single little g-g-gene mutation
Is the real reason that we breathe air
It’s beyond my c-c-c-computation
That a single little g-g-gene mutation
Is the real reason that we breathe air
Those extinct have paid the price
Darwin threw dem dice
Lungfish flapping on that fin
He’s so clever, does more than swim
The boldest fish to take the dare
And the first to breathe the air
He’s crawling on the land
Is that a fin or is that a hand
Is that fin or hand?
Your great-great-great-great
Great-great-great-great
Great-great-great grandmother
Was a fish
Your great-great-great-great
Great-great-great-great
Great-great-great grandfather
Was a fish
I know I might have missed a few greats
But this is important so wait-
It’s beyond my c-c-c-computation
That a single little g-g-gene mutation
Is the real reason that we breathe air
It’s beyond my c-c-c-computation
That a single little g-g-gene mutation
Is the real reason that we breathe air
Any fin is possible
Don’t trout yourself
Oh Kerri, that sax is krillin’ me
Hey Al, play those scales!
Your great-great-great-great
Great-great-great-great
Great-great-great grandmother
Was a fish
Your great-great-great-great
Great-great-great-great
Great-great-great grandfather
Was a fish
I know I might have missed a few greats
But this is important so wait-
It’s beyond my c-c-c-computation
That a single little g-g-gene mutation
Is the real reason that we breathe air
It’s beyond my c-c-c-computation
That a single little g-g-gene mutation
Is the real reason that we breathe air
Is the real reason that we breathe air
Is the real reason that we breathe air
Is the real reason that we breathe air

Sunglasses and suit, check
And a parachute, check
Elan and grace, check
And a bomb in a suit-suit-suit-suit-suit-suitcase
1971
Dan Cooper had a bomb
Ticket obtained
Now he’s gonna board the plane
Bourbon soda and ice
Time is right to start the heist
Takes his seat at the back
Pulls the luggage onto his lap
Flips open the case
Looks the attendant in the face
This is my demand:
Two hundred grand
DB Cooper
DB Cooper
Hijack parachuter
Jumped from that plane
Never seen again
DB Cooper
DB Cooper
Dan Cooper explains his plan
Tell the pilot when you can
We’ll land in Seattle
Get the money and refuel
Another drink would be really swell
Make it a double, what the hell
When tyres hit the tarmac
Dan gets the chute for his back
Passengers off, cash in
Fill the tanks with kerosine
As the engines begin to spin
Cooper risks a grin
DB Cooper
DB Cooper
Hijack parachuter
Jumped from that plane
Never seen again
DB Cooper
DB Cooper
The plane climbs into the night
Ten thousand feet in height
Dan dons the parachute
Stuffs the cash into his suit
He stops for a moment and takes a breath
Time for fortune or death
Door opens in the tail
In the plane it blows a gale
Wipes some sweat from his brow
Too late to turn back now
Dan Cooper leaves the flight
And he jumps into the night
DB Cooper
DB Cooper
Hijack parachuter
Jumped from that plane
Never seen again

Curve of Your Spine
02:44
|

Please take my hand
And we’ll dance in the sand
If only for old time’s sake
You understand
When I hear our song
I don’t sing along
And I don’t really mind
If someone else gets it wrong
I get by just fine
And I don’t remember the curve of your spine
I don’t recall your hand in mine
At least most of the time
Most of the time, and I mean
Most of the time
I don’t really miss you, yes
I get on fine
I don’t want you back
No I don’t want you back
I’m getting pretty good, you know
At telling myself that
I get by just fine
And I don’t remember the curve of your spine
I don’t recall your hand in mine
At least most of the time
Please take my hand
And we’ll dance in the sand
If only for old time’s sake
You understand
When I hear our song
I don’t sing along
And I don’t really mind
If someone else gets it wrong
Oh I get by just fine
And I don’t remember the curve of your spine
I don’t recall your hand in mine
At least most of the time
I don’t recall your hand in mine
At least most of the time
At least most of the time
At least most of the time

Come on tribe
Let’s take a ride
To Londinium
They’re gonna go back where
They came from
Those Romans have roamed to far
For their punishment
I’ll make them subservient
Bou-bou-bou-
Boudicca, Britannia is mine
Boudicca, my empire is divine I said now
Boudicca, call me Queen B
Boudicca, all must worship me
Let’s turn around
Now we’ve burned the town
To the ground
It’s time to go
With our minions in tow
They’ll be kept alive
I’ve got a use for them
I am a fatal femme
And I’ll crush these men
Bou-bou-bou-
Boudicca, Britannia is mine
Boudicca, my empire is divine I said now
Boudicca, call me Queen B
Boudicca, all must worship me
Now hear what I say
You will be locked away
Until I want some fun
Your my minion
So get on the floor
And worship me some more
Here no one can hear your screams
I’m the woman of your dreams
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Boudicca, Britannia is mine
Booty ha, my booty is divine I tell ya
Boudicca, call me Queen B
Boudicca, all must worship me yeah
Boudicca, Britannia is mine
Booty ha, my booty is divine I tell ya
Boudicca, call me Queen B
Boudicca, all must worship me
