This is probably the only way you'd get me to sing!

I can't play the guitar for nuts. And I couldn't sing to save my life. This is yet another way of living vicariously through your art.

I've been falling in love with duets and cover versions of songs lately. There are so many awesome duets out there. And I absolutely love the "Let's call the whole thing off" song by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. It is one of the most adorable love songs ever. I thought I'd play around with the words a bit. I know it's cheesy. Poetry is not one of my strong points either. And no, we're not singing love songs to each other.

I'll write about the music bit on my other blog.

In case you can't read the lyrics properly, here they are:

You say eether and I say eyether,
You say wherever and I say whatever;
Eether, eyether, wherever, whatever
Let's call the whole thing off!
You like feta and I like cheddah,
You want pizza and I order pasta;
Cheddah, feta, pizza, pasta!
You say sarcasm and I say yeah right,
You say bite me and I say alright,
You say laughter and I say lawfter…who says lawfter??
You say after and I say now,
Laughter, lawfter, after… it’s awfter,
Let's call the whole thing off!
You like vanilla, No I like Vanilla!
You, sa's'parilla and I sa's'parella; What on Earth is Sasparilla?
Vanilla, My vanilla, No mine!
You say wyte and I say hwhite,
We both say hwhite... we do?
Let's call the whole thing off!
But oh! If we call the whole thing off, then we must part,
And oh! If we ever part, Then that might break my heart! (yuck!)
So, if you like pajamas and I like hyenas,
I'll wear pajamas and throw out the hyenas.
For we know we need each other,
So we better call the calling off off.
Let's call the whole thing off!

ps - Cheddah is poetic license. The red lines have been added by popular demand.

Maybe we ought to start a matrimonial site and call it sharkdi.com?

Sometimes I wonder if I ought to try this tactic. It might work. Why can't people meet at cinema halls or book stores?

Drawing those movie theatre chairs was pure torture. I got so bored after I did one that I sort of scribbled through the rest. And I didn't want to draw actual detailed people so they ended up looking like zombies. Yay, Doctor Zombie!

I got the fish fry idea from something my sister said about the shark on some forum. I get most of my inspirations from my family.

Lost in Wonder link: For a more in depth, "grown-up" explanation...I'll put up the link soon.

Ps - We have a matrimonial site here called shaadi.com - for those who didn't get the title.

Drinks like a fish and leaves

I couldn't help it. It was bound to happen. The drink like a fish pun, that is.

I wish I could draw the pub more detailed. But that would mean drawing more people and chairs. We all know how much I hate drawing chairs. I do like revolving chairs though... they're so much fun.

I like wine glasses hanging from the ceiling like that. I need to get one of those for my house. They'll probably end up all falling together.

I can pull off Wolverine if you can pull off Cruella de Vil!

Cruella de Vil is one of the coolest Disney villains of all time. Right next to Sher Khan. I wish I could draw her costume better. I wanted to add a little dalmatian in the picture but then I might get calls from people who protest against cruelty to imaginary animals.

No, I haven't seen the new Wolverine movie.
