I get _strange_ songs in my head, sometimes.

Right now, it's "The Lonely Goatherd", _Sound of Music_.

Which I haven't seen in years and years. What the hell, brain?!

(yes, my brain is filled with musicals. And religious folk songs. Hey, I was in the folk group at a roman catholic church for years and years and years until I realized that that was _not_ my religion. The folk group part was fun, though. Other songs, too, but those two types are more strange than most)

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay

A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Ummm (ummm)...
Odl lay ee (odl lay ee)
Odl lay hee hee (odl lay hee hee)
Odl lay ee ...
... yodeling ...

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hmm hmm
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Happy are they lay dee olay dee lee o ...
... yodeling ...
Soon the duet will become a trio
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Odl lay ee, old lay ee
Odl lay hee hee, odl lay ee
Odl lay odl lay, odl lay odl lee, odl lay odl lee
Odl lay odl lay odl lay

HOO!

Okay, my bad spelling aside, that was really just me remembering Julie Andrews yodeling. It's all about the yodeling.

*blinks* You people are yodeling in my journal.

I'm simultaneously very amused and frightened.

(then again, lower down is a request to, effectively, have _me_ yodeling)

Nonono, the puppets! It's all about the puppets!

(Okay, the yodeling is a bit important too. And memorable. Yes. Definitely memorable.)

(Don't worry about the spelling, it's just onomatopoeia. Highly subjective.)
