They are perfect for serious silliness!; Sunday, January 20, 2008

Candygirlflies said...: Hi Mrinz-- I've loved "Ying Tong" for years, too... My kids now enjoy it, and can't believe that it's sung by grown-ups (although they're pretty sure the last part is actually two guinea pigs...)

Hiya, PM-- brings a whole new meaning to "the brightest and the best", non? I'm glad I'm in such good company...

And Nan-- Whatwhatwhatwhatwhat??? There are actually people out there who are NOT Goon Fanatics??? Anyone who "looks on with concern" is worth being concerned about...
