Put the Lime in the Coconut, Alan Wake!

The video game Alan Wake was recently released and having spent the entire weekend in Bright Falls I’ve completed it. It’s a great game, possibly the best horror game I’ve ever played. You should go buy it. Enough of that, in the game you encounter a jukebox. The jukebox has one tune. Said tune is by Harry Nilsson and is freakishly catchy. I think my girlfriend is on the verge of leaving me because I’m constantly humming “put the lime in the coconut.. and drink ‘em both up..”. Anyways, here’s the song. Enjoy.

Lyrics:(courtesy of http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/coconut.htm)

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for the lime
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank ‘em both up (3x)
Put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up, and said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache
Now let me get this straight
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank ‘em both up (3x)
Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up, and said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink ‘em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink ‘em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for the lime
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank ‘em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up, and said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Now let me get this straight
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink ‘em both up (3x)
Put the lime in the coconut, you’re such a silly woman
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink ‘em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink ‘em both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
Woo-oo, ain’t there nothin’ you can take, I said
Woo-oo, to relieve your bellyache, you said
Woo-oo, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Woo-oo, to relieve your bellyache, you say
Yeah-ah, ain’t there nothing I can take, I say
Wow-ow, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said (3x)
Doctor, you’re such a silly woman
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink ‘em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink ‘em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the mo-o-ornin’
Yes, you call me in the morning
If you call me in the morning I’ll tell you what to do

On Very Thin Ice

I’m a hummer. Most of times I have a song playing on repeat in my head. At times it’s great , other times - not so great. Like now. A couple of months a go I stumbled across Auto-Tune the News on YouTube. Said months later and I’m still playing the Auto-Tune the News 24/7 concert in my head. I’m starting to get somewhat tired. However, perhaps this is some kind of viral thing. Perhaps I must ‘pass it on’? Well, I’m gonna try that. The part in question is the part where Katie Couric starts talking about the melting of the north pole. We find ourselves on very thin ice. Very Thin Ice. Very, very, very thin ice. Very Thin Ice. Surely you jest, I’m under cardiac arrest. We’re on very thin ice. It starts at 1:20. Enjoy. And don’t give this virus back to me. Thanks.

Oh, and if you liked it you should also pay attention to people on the roads who are texting while driving. After all: People on the road can turn an LOL into a great big OMG.

We Built the Pyramids

It’s true. We did. Unless you believe ET or some other alien did it. (Oh no I didn’t!) Regardless, I’ve been watching the Big Bang Theory lately and the theme song, by the Barenaked Ladies, is now permanently stuck on my frontal lobe.  The show is pretty fun, although I have to admit that I felt obliged to watch the first few episode. Being the geekery it is. The song is catchy and fun! Enjoy it, with lyrics, after the break. Oh, and yeah, the song is called ‘The History Of Everything’ – not ‘The Big Bang Theory’.  Find the group at BareNakedLadies.com. No. That’s not porno. Freak!
