Conversation in car on way to art today with Thalia:
Me: I said something stupendously awesome that I can’t recall any more.
Thalia: Go Daddy!
Me: Go…… Daddy!
Thalia: Were you going to say “Go me?”
Me: Nope, just Go Daddy!
Thalia: Is there a song with “Go Daddy” in it?
Me: Well, it’s a company name, but there is a song “Go Daddy-O”
So then I played it for her (Go Spotify!).
After a few moments:
Thalia: This sounds like the one with the whale in it.
Me: The whale?!
Thalia: Yeah!
Me: Um….Moby Dick?
Thalia: No
Me: Pinocchio?
Thalia: No! The one with the whale. It had a saxophone.
Realization slowly dawns…
Me: Oh you mean that kind of whale.
Last time Thalia heard that one was more than a year ago, when we used to watch the video. She has a fantastic memory. I quickly put on Brian Setzer’s version of “Jump Jive an’ Wail,” which made her day.
Excellent music video with equally excellent suicide door (and yes thanks to Monster Garage I know what those are) here:
