FRIDAY RANDOM TEN

Another week has flown by. Yes, it’s Friday again!

Not only is Friday the Gateway to the Weekend, it’s also time for the weekly installment of the Friday Random Ten, that compilation of Random Tuneage straight from the electronical storage of the iPod d’Elisson.

What’s tickling the Eardrum d’Elisson today? Let’s see:

8. Al Baba’s Camel - The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
   
   You’ve heard of Ali Baba, forty thieves had he
   Out for what we all want, lots of LSD
   He also had a camel, stole it from a zoo
   How he loved the camel, and the camel loved him too
   (Oh, how the how the camel loved Ali Bar Bar!)
   
   Ali Baba’s camel loved Ali Baba so
   No matter where he went to, the camel had to go
   Some say that he’s in Heaven, but this I know is true
   Wherever you think Ali has gone, his camel’s gone there too
   
   Crossing the Equator, ooooh, how hot it was
   Poor old Ali Baba cursed and swore, because
   He was so very thirsty, and everybody knows
   It’s horrible to walk for miles with sand between your toes
   (Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba... brrrrr!)
   
   Ali Baba’s camel turned round and licked his hand
   He said, “Oh, Ali Baba, I surely understand
   We must find an oasis and get a drink somehow
   But, hark! I hear the temple bells, they’ll all be open now”
   (Bleah bleah. Glorious beer, fills you right up with it... aaahh)
   
   They entered for the races at the desert sports
   There goes Ali’s camel in his filthy cotton shorts
   The starter cracked his pistol, off the camels hared
   Ali Baba’s camel wins by half a camel’s hair
   (Hey Ali Baba! Hey Ali Baba!)
   (Your camel loves you! Your camel loves you!)
   
   Ali Baba’s camel had run for miles and miles
   His tail was pointing backwards - that’s how a camel smiles
   But Ali and his camel, they both were out of breath
   They’d run so far, they laughed so much
   They laughed themselves to death
   [Sounds of crying and wailing)
   
   Oh! Gather round the campfire! Sing a roundelay!
   But don’t sing out of tune, though
   (’Cause eggs are cheap today!)
   Sing of Ali Baba, sing about his men
   Sing about his camel, and then sing it all again
   (Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba)
   
   Ali Baba’s camel loved Ali Baba so
   No matter where he went to, that camel had to go
   Some say that he’s in Heaven, but this I know as well
   Wherever you think Ali has gone, his camel’s gone to...
