Mysticetes Don't Floss

Zeus and I managed to write several songs during HARC. We were planning on producing our first album, but never got around to it. We even came up with the name “Mysticetes Don’t Floss”. I’m sure if they could they would though with all of the krill and fish bits that inevitably get stuck in their mustaches. Below are the lyrics to one my favorites from the almost album. It was written to the music of “Land Down Under” by Men At Work, so in order to get the full effect you have to play the song while reading the lyrics. Tonight is our last night, so there’s potential for us getting drunk and recording some of the songs. If so I will email those who want to hear them (which should be all of you).


“Whale Down Under”

Tagging off the coast of Noosa
On a humpback tail, we shouldn’t lose her
We met a strange whale, we hadn’t seen yet
He threw his fluke and got the boat wet
And he sang

Do you come from a land down under
Where whales blow and Bec chunders
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run you better take cover.

Off the bow, a pod of whales
First tag attempt Beluga fails
Mindi used inappropriate language
Rob just laughed and ate his Vegemite sandwich
And he sang

I come from a land down under
Where I tag and Dave blunders
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run you better take cover.
Trying to tag a pod that’s restful
With the small pole, she’s not successful
Rob said to Dave, “Your approach is all wrong
My massive pole gets the D-tag on”
And he sang,

Oh do you come from a land down under
Where whales blow and Bec chunders
Can you see, can you see Dave blunder?
The bear’s mad, you better take cover.
