I already linked to it on the side, but here it is again:
The badger mushroom snake song
It reminds me of David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest. In that book, among all the tennis, recovering alcoholics and 200+ pages of endnotes, there is a plot thread about a mysterious videotape that as soon as someone starts watching it, they’re unable to stop. They just keep watching it over and over again until they die with the VCR remote in their hands, dead of exhaustion or starvation.[1] That’s what I imagine happens with this song… they’re just going to find my skeleton in front of the computer.
Pat says, “It’s the new ‘Where’d the cheese go?’”.

Update: The Accordion Guy has finally found the love!
1 I don’t actually know if you ever find out what’s on the tape…. I got to about page 800 of 1100(!) and threw up my hands and quit.
