"Tweeny Teentwerp from String-Box-On-The-Thames"? Blimey! Imagine Ray Davies singing "String-Box-On-The-Thames Sunset" or David Bowie crooning "The String-Box-On-The-Thames Boys"... or "String-Box-On-The-Thames Cathedral"...<br /><br />And Carl Barks treats pop-rock music with all the respect he thinks it deserves. Yes, as much respect as singer Tony Bennett saying that "rock and roll has only two chords, both of them wrong". And never has pop-rock been trashed with as much gusto and cleverness as in this Barks tour de force - even more than Tony Strobl debashing "Melvin Pressbe" in his 1957 "Mutilated Music" opus.<br /><br />One day I'll set these Teentwerp words to music myself...<br /><br />Ah! I'm writing a book about Disney & Brazilian music, and it was my searching for the Barks original of this Teentwerp story that brought me to your blog!Ayrton Mugnaini Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12761472933940230832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-51447415317997204532010-11-01T05:12:02.858-04:002010-11-01T05:12:02.858-04:00"A Whole Lotta Ducky" is in effect, guys..."A Whole Lotta Ducky" is in effect, guys and gals.<br /><br />Now comes trouble.<br /><br />What to comment on a story in which GeoX actually tells us NOT to look any further into? <br />Oh, the pleasure of dissecting tiny details is suddenly ignored in favor of pure, uncritical entertainment!<br />Goodbye to a possible passionate discussion about what importance may the feral DUCK girl donning DINGO feet has concerning wearing fur in feral societies and fashion tastes by primitive avian females!<br />='(Richienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-2896911887702460302009-04-13T01:48:00.000-04:002009-04-13T01:48:00.000-04:00Maybe her heart has been too well fed on the affec...Maybe her heart has been too well fed on the affections of others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120721760732002698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-30931466572489578012009-04-06T00:01:00.000-04:002009-04-06T00:01:00.000-04:00You make a valid point.You make a valid point.GeoX, one of the GeoX boys.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658452994152399308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-41275725340792922142009-04-05T12:57:00.000-04:002009-04-05T12:57:00.000-04:00"Because the object of your affection is dangerous..."Because the object of your affection is dangerously obese?
