Musical Monday: Dirty Paws

Press play

Of Monsters and Men "Dirty Paws"

Bonnie Blue went on a joy run, and she needed a bath.  I kept singing "Dirty Paws" while bathing her, and now I can't get the song out of my head!

I love the band Of Monsters and Men.  They're Icelandic, and they have a very neat style.  I've always wanted to visit Iceland, and I hope to travel there soon.

Quote from "Dirty Paws"

"Dirty Paws"

Jumping up and down the floor,

My head is an animal.

And once there was an animal,

It had a son that mowed the lawn.

The son was an ok guy,

They had a pet dragonfly.

The dragonfly it ran away,

But it came back with a story to say.

Her dirty paws and furry coat,

She ran down the forest slope.

The forest of talking trees,

They used to sing about the birds and the bees.

The bees had declared a war,

The sky wasn't big enough for them all.

The birds, they got help from below,

From dirty paws and the creatures of snow.

And for a while things were cold,

They were scared down in their holes.

The forest that once was green

Was colored black by those killing machines.

But she and her furry friends

Took down the queen bee and her men.

And that's how the story goes,

The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.

Shelley learned how to hand knit at school, and she made Bonnie a little scarf from yarn remnants.

Poor baby.
