I’ve created four more episodes of Poetry Minute and a Half: “Out of the Business” by The Tubes (by request), “Taking Care of Business” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive, “Enter Sandman” by Metallica, and one I’m particularly proud of, Rammstein’s “Mein Teil” in English translation.
Do send in requests. I’m thinking of branching out to other genres of music.
Loved TCB. Steve Allen used to do this, more for laughs. He’d stare meaningfully into the camera and intone, slowly, “Shimmy (pause) shimmy (longer pause) ko ko bop. Shimmy (pause) shimmy (extremely long pause) bop.”
