Back when we were in college, one of our friends (Alvord? Where are you??) was on the committee responsible for bringing entertainment to the college. She had a video of a bunch of acts, and we used to amuse ourselves for hours watching these guys:
They were a Canadian musical comedy troupe, and they were just side-splittingly funny. In “Eskimo,” they tell the sad story of an Eskimo, who is the only gay member of his tribe. By far the best part of this song is the seal solo. Yes, I said seal solo.
Anyway, last week, I was sending an email to R, and something I wrote reminded me of one of their songs.
have you ever heard of a canadian comedy group called corky and the juice pigs? I typed.
He responded:
yes. in fact, i am very upset that my cassette copy of “buck a song” was stolen many years ago. i have their debut cd, which has pandas as well as that “only gay eskimo” song, among many others.
No. Freaking. Way.
I told Jen, and she replied, “it’s a match made in bizarro heaven.” 😉
