Some people asked for the song I sang at the staff dinner, with Tyrrlin's wonderful accompaniment on Clarinet. The following lyrics are what I *meant* to sing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuyHKKrywns is what I *actually* sang. Try to pretend I sang the right lyrics instead of stumbling over things.

I haven't heard the accompaniment yet, but as I was reading it, I immediately tried to fit it to the tune of "Yakko's World." XD

It's to the tune of "The Elements" by Tom Lehrer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGM-wSKFBpo&feature=related

Mind *that* was based of The Major-General's Song from Gilbert & Sullivan.

Thus my apology in the last stanza. Let me repeat said apology!

That's been happening to me all the time. I think it has something to do with security settings, because you can double-click on the video which directs you to the Youtube home page for that video, and it should play fine. Does for me.

But for some reason, embedded videos won't play for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed the singing and felt very appreciated because of it. I would also like to thank Tyrrlin for all the practice she must have put in pre-con to play that song so well.

Indeed. Tyrrlin is a seasoned professional musician, who knew how to direct in our one rehearsal to get things right. I am quite grateful for her help in this. Next year it's her turn to sing, and I'll play the tromboon. Eye-wink

If you felt appreciated, then all our efforts are worth it. That's why it was done. Smiling

Hey, Chiaro. Did I ever tell you that Snowie plays the saxophone? She's probably going to hurt me for telling you though. We could almost start a registration band.
