And hey, The Decemberists’ Colin Meloy is coming back through Seattle on 1/18 on his solo tour. Maybe we can demand that he record a version of the song with these new lyrics.

Sorry in advance for hijacking the thread. That being said, how about a haiku?

I was trying to come up with lyrics to “The Arbitration Tango” a few weeks ago, but worried the audience was too small to be worth the effort. Maybe I should revisit that.

21 – Yow. First someone has to get ahold of the episode — has anyone yet? I nominate Jeff to translate it.

maybe Toby can play some Tom Lehrer as an encore.

Any thread with references to both Tom Lehrer and Toby Hanson in it is a good thread.

It should be noted that the track before The Mariners’ Revenge Song, On the Bus Mall, is one of the better ones I’ve heard in quite some time.

Good live band too. Saw ‘em at the Showbox last year.

I say next pizza feed includes the Ichiro! tv episode (with simultaneous translation from Deanna) plus a hearty rendition of the Mariners’ Revenge Song by Toby.
