I woke up with a musical fragment that prompted a song.
I loved the idea of a story starting out with diligent preparations for an adventure in worldwide exploration, dangerous treks across forbidding wilderness, and a hardy band of intrepid wayfarers all gathered together at their point of departure, where the leader strides up onto the high ground in order to deliver an inspirational speech, quieting the crowd, taking a deep breath, and declaring…
“Let’s all pee before we go!”
It takes them a while to wrangle all of these rugged individuals, and make sure that they have all peed. And then they are no sooner ready to start out than the leader says, “Ok, now have you all put on sunscreen?”
So they commence to pummel.
I thought that the song might be all the better if it turned out that the excursion was for relatively mundane shopping.
And this has a Suomipop flavor to it, so you’ll occasionally hear things like “noice” for “nice.”
Here are the lyrics.
