This one is from Australia. It's new and it's quirky. Listen for the narrative and the wordplay. There aren't many songs that start about gardening and end in an ambulance. The idiosyncratic-ness and the slightly noisy underside have won me over . . . .
Hear the song on Youtube.

The Beards "Got Me A Beard"
It's itchy. It's getting so long that the mustache part is interfering with eating. It's about to go from "Hey, that guy looks like he's not really taking care of himself" to looking like "Hey, get ready to dial 911, that guy looks crazy."
But The World Series starts tonight, and I'm not shaving my beard.
For those of you who aren't into baseball . . . The Red Sox are in the World Series. And many of the players on the team have grown these long, wild, I'm-In-Fleet-Foxes style beards. "Fear The Beard" has become a meme.
I don't know who the Sox have lined up to sing the National Anthem, but let me suggest that they embrace the beard, and fly in Australia's The Beards.
The band is know for not only having great beards, they write songs about beards with titles like "Got Me A Beard," "You Should Consider Having Sex With A Bearded Man" "The Beard Accessory Store" and "If Your Dad Doesn't Have A Beard, You Have 2 Moms."
Beard Up! Go Sox!

Cat Empire "Sly"
Here's another Weekend
Post:
Well, I've officially been doing this so long, that I think songs from the early 2000s qualify for weekend posts, as throw-back tunes you (and I) may have forgotten about.
I was thinking about this song in relation to Thursday's post about good segues. For whatever reason, I remember this as a song that was really hard to put into the mix. Wherever I played it, it seemed to stick out like a sore thumb in the MVY mix. Even though it was a hit within the Triple A world, it didn't last on our playlist.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Rhett & Link "Rub Some Bacon On It"
Last year, I had some extra tickets to a concert, that I was happy to just give away. So I posted on Facebook, to all my friends and family, "If you want these tickets, just let me know."
My cousin, Rick, who lives half a world away, in Australia, saw the post.
He called my Uncle/his Dad, who lives just a few miles from me. And I met my Uncle the next morning, to give him the tickets.
It's an amazing time we live in, where information can travel across hemispheres, to be returned right down the street.
When Rick posted this video on his Facebook page, I expected that this was another Down Under comedy sensation. But Rhett And Link are Americans.
Thank goodness we have Facebook (and cousins with a great sense of humor) to let us know what's going on in our own backyard.
