E-laundry.

Look like Legolas.

Random musing: I never realised quite how many necrophilia references there are in modern music until Adam started listening to my CDs. Hmmm.

(eyes wide)

I guess I musta missed the fourteenth track on the second volume of the White Album where Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney share a tender duet about skull-fucking corpses...

Not quite necrophilia, but...

Joan was quizzical, studied metaphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures
Joa-oa-oa-oan?"
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door...

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

- Lennon/McCartney, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", on 'Abbey Road'.

A big favorite when I was in primary school. I don't think you worry too much about the implications at that age - I just thought it was really funny.

...and it's such a jaunty little track! They made us learn it in year 9 music class. No joke.
