Blue Mastadon

The story:

I don't know if this will count, but..., years ago, when Silverchair was hot, I was driving to work one morning (on a busy 4 lane highway), and "Pure Massacre" had just finished playing on one of the local stations. So, the DJ comes on and proceeds to tell us about how some dude called up requesting that song. However, the dude was saying "...can you guys play that new Silverchair song?...", "Which one?" asks the DJ, dude proceeds "...you know, the one about the Blue Mastadons?". LMAO!!! The DJ nearly busted a gut, but not worse than me. Here I am doin' 75mph on my way to work with a co-worker, I'm not tryin' to embelish to make the story more grand, but, I thought one of us had a hot beverage, and I was laughing so hard, I had to cut across all four lanes of the highway, and pull off an exit that wasn't ours yet.

Oh man, it was frikkin' hilarious. Blue Mastadon???!! LMAO!!! Still to this day, when I get that song stuck in my head out of nowhere, I can't even get the correct lyric in my head. I constantly have "...Blue Mastadon, Blue Mastadoooon..." thanks to some goof. So now I just sing "...Blue Mastadon...", 'cause it's way funnier. ;)

I just have this Flintstone-Like creature (you know the one, the one in their kitchen that Wilma uses for cleaning dishes) stuck in my head, just standing there looking at me with this puzzled look on his face, as to say "What am I doing here?", I can only answer "I don't know, I wish you weren't. Blame it on that doofus that requested you."

Sorry for ramblin', but..., it just still makes me laugh like some giggling little school kid.

That bastid. Grrrr. ;)
