So, I've been wearing out the new album by Steam Powered Giraffe that came out a couple weeks ago. I made DG listen to the "Fancy Shoes" (amateur video from a concert last month) song where this line happens: "Let me tell you a story to clarify the matter: once upon a time, a mouse put on some shoes..." (it happens about 2 minutes 40 seconds into that video) ***EDITED JUNE 6, 2014*** Steam Powered Giraffe released a video for "Fancy Shoes"
This morning, he was walking to the kitchen (6 AM, he just got up) and that song was playing on my computer (you can wear out a digital album, right? I have the actual CD just in case). I said: "Oh, he doesn't even know..."
DG: "Know what?"
I backed the song up and replayed that line and said: "How often does that happen? Apparently every time I listen to this song."
DG: "Oh, he doesn't even know. They got four feet. They gotta put shoes on twice every day."
He went into the kitchen and came back out and said: "Unless its a sophisticated mouse. Then he walks on two legs and he only needs one pair of shoes."
After I typed all that, I asked: "If a mouse puts on two pairs of shoes, how does he tie the shoes on his little mouse hands?"
He narrowed his eyes, deep in thought and said in monotone: "Velcro."
After a short pause he added: "Slip-ons. The possibilities are endless."
Me: "Not really. I think those possibilities end there."
DG (still in monotone): "You're probably right."
