    Excuse the double-post, but what the hell is that, Brian? It sounds like an elderly stroke victim clinging desperately onto his death-bed! I'm all for the spiritual dimension, but that just sounds embarassing... 0/10.

    The first thing I clicked on to get away from THAT thing:

    I thought you'd like it. Some of the comments on the video defy belief. Here's what I mean:

    Now if I were an infant child sitting in my pram, I would probably identify with your choice of song. But as I am not, it must be zero out of ten. However, here is a song on a similar subject, which is juvenile as opposed to your infantile choice.

    That was brilliant! I had to find the lyrics. Here's and excerpt:

    “Oh, what a wonderful thing to be,
    A healthy grown up busy busy bee.
    Toying with the tulips, tasting every type,
    Building up the honey-comb that looks like tripe.
    I'd like to be a busy little bee,
    Being just as busy as a bee can be,
    Flying all around in the wild hedgerows,
    Stinging all the cows upon the parson's nose!”

    Brian's song was there. I just listened to it.

    Anyhow, to yours Schehe
    4/10. Great voice, but that smells a lot like disco.

    How about this one. Now give it a chance, especially if you are a Peter Lorre fan:

    It's pretty groovy. That is, if one enjoys a good groove from time to time.

    5/10

    EDIT

    Basil beat me to it. Basil -- The Replacements, on a 10-scale, ALWAYS rate a 10/10 for this Comedian. Always. Great choice.

    Here's one that I remember my parents listening to all the time when I was a wee lad.

    Well, I don't think I have ever attended one of those parties, Paul! 4/10. (It's awfully long).
