If I Knew You Were Coming I’d’ve Baked a Cake

For all the people who came to visit my site. 🙂

What a delightful little ditty! And one with a double contraction at that! I mean, how many double contraction songs do you know of?

But as delightful as Eileen Barton’s version of the song might be, what might be even MORE delightful is this 1969 Sesame Street skit of the song with Ernie and Cookie Monster…

Be an Occupy Protester for Hallowe’en!

It’s Hallowe’en! Not ready but need a costume? Here’s a simple one!

Just throw on your worst laundry, don’t wash or shower, and down a bottle of Buckley’s cough syrup if you’re not bitter enough about the world.

Then complain about anything you can think of anytime you see anybody.

And voilà!

An original, cheap, last minute Hallowe’en costume that will get you into lots of Hallowe’en parties in major cities in North America where protests are being held.

It’s the last part, which distinguishes this song from other songs about fine bodies, because the skin colour obviously makes a difference to add a racy tinge to a sexy song.
