Hooray, hooray, it’s the first of May (NSFW!)

Almost forgot to post this year. The weather has been very crappy around here. Cold and damp all spring. No outdoor activity for us until it warms up a bit.

+Plus+ a terrible wind storm blew down a section of my backyard fence. We’d rather not give the neighbors a peep show.

Today is International Worker’s Day, frequently called May Day. Mayday is also a aero/nautical distress call. That’s how I remember my friend’s anniversary is today…cause if I was married to her, I’d be screaming “mayday, mayday, mayday!” :astonished:

And of course, as has been mentioned in a few previous threads, m’aidez is French for “Help Me!”.

I definitely lead a sheltered life. I didn’t encounter the couplet about outdoor sex (which I’m sure long predates Coulton’s song) until I read it in Allan Sherman’s 1973 book The Rape of the A.P.E.

But the idea has been expressed in terms more fitting for a General Audience. By Julie Andrews, no less.:

Another work of art / literature predating Coulton, which he covered, and which some might enjoy:

Personally, I prefer the live version from “Best.Concert.Ever,” but that’s just a matter of personal taste.

Some years ago, Coulton remixed the song with samples from the Beatles’, “Why Don’t We Do It In the Road,” and Prince’s, “Sexy M.F.,” and I think it may even be a little better than the original. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anyplace to link to it (including Coulton’s web site where he first posted it), I expect due to IP issues.
