Gaper's Block
Congrats to Gapers Block for their soft-launch!
Speaking of soft-launches, I thought I was through with the penis talk, here, but alicia suggested I post the lyrics to Napoleon's Penis, the song I sang, quite drunkenly, at that saucy blogger's night out a while back.
it's a little ditty by Pat McCurdy, a singer I liked for his silly, personable style and his oh-so-singable songs.
I botched the lyrics when I sang it (it's been years since I heard the song, to be honest, I think I did a pretty good job remembering it at all!), but I post the full song here. Perhaps when we get together again, y'all can sing along with me!
Napoleon's Penis
He almost conquered half of Europe
'Til he got beat at Waterloo
And on his deathbed this is what
He told his friends to do:
"Put my body in a tomb
Like all the great ones are
Chop off my little sabre
And put it in a jar"
This impish little Emperor
Who inspired a symphony
Said, "I hope you'll name a brandy
Or a pastry after me.
And of course you'll come to Corsica
When from this life I part
Feel free to drink to me
And tear my Bonaparte."
It was Napoleon's penis, Napoleon's penis
There wasn't much between us, just Napoleon's penis
The original French tickler, c'est vrai c'est tres petit
Genitalia on display for all the world to see
So now whenever I'm in Paris
And I'm stuck in some museum
Those boring Mona Lisas, man,
I just don't want to see 'em
There's only one attraction
There's only one I've known
It's the first thing that I tell my friends
The minute I get home
Napoleon's penis, Napoleon's penis
His highness, His sereness, Napoleon's penis
I know it's gonna thrill you, no matter who you are
Napoleon's penis - it's in that little jar

Haha! That is a great song. Did anything get named after him? I always think of himn when I see Neopolitan ice cream though.

I think the 'joke' of that lyric in the song is that both a pastry and a pastry are named after him. or something like that.
I think of him when I see neopolitan ice cream, too, for some reason. weird.

YAY! i had no idea the song was so long as i only caught you singing a small part of it. i can't wait for the next blogger outing where maybe i get you drunk and you sing the entire song while standing on a table.
thanks heather.
