So I go to belly dance class tonight and we start the warmup. Apparently my teacher is in an interesting mood, because when she starts the second song, I hear _Put de lime in de coconut and drink it all up Put de lime in de coconut Called de doctor, woke 'im up…_ As for the third song? _I don’t know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain’t right…_ I just started laughing. Wow, board and RL synchronicity. 😃 ---

What confuses me is this: I have a 25-cd disk changer, and one afternoon I set it up to play random songs, then walked out of the room, leaving the door open. That song played, and it was over before I returned to the room. I don’t think I **have** a cd with that song on it, so it was sort of spooky… I suppose it could have been on a soundtrack, but I didn’t see it listed on any of them. ---

Am I the only one thinking of that little diddy Homer sang on his hammock? (to the same tune as that coconut thingy) something along the lines of: Homer: You pour the beer in the glass and you throw the can away(throws away can, hits Fladers) Flanders: Homer! Homer: You throw the can away! (repeats) Flanders: I said Homer! ---
