Song #10 Calvin and Hobbes
MP3 Here 2.1Mb download

Here is my Tribute song, about a week late. Sorry about that. (at least I finished one)

This a tribute to my favorite comic strip - Calvin and Hobbes and so indirectly to Bill Watterson. The verses were mostly written from specific comic strips I have in one of the big Calvin and Hobbes collections and the chorus is about "Calvinball".

It's short and really poppy.

Calvin and Hobbes

Got my tiger and me
It’s a quarter to three
And we’re headed back in time
To a place that I know
For pictures to show
That will get many a dime

First rule
Is what we say
The second is the same
As long as they don’t repeat
That is the game

Stupendous man
With his super plan
In crimson cape so strong
Vanquishes schools
Rewrites the rules
And rights all the wrong

Spiff from Space
In a race
Across a barren moon
Dodge and run
You’re almost done
You’ll be in bed soon

I love Calvin and Hobbes. Cute little tune, Eric.

I think my favorite C&H quote is: "I have all theses great genes, But they're recessive."
