I love when my iPod is on random and I hear things I didn't quite hear before. Today's gem is from Neil Innes (Python/Ruttles). It's called the Idiot Song and I need someone to turn it into a video for me;

How sweet to be an idiot (Show Bush)
As harmless as a cloud (Mushroom cloud)
Too small to hide the sun
Almost poking fun
At the warm but insecure
untidy crowd (One of his classic canned crowds)

How sweet to be an idiot
And dip my brain in joy (Cocaine snort)
Children laughing at my back (Children from protest)
With no fear of attack "Undisclosed location"
As much retaliation as a toy
How sweet to be an idiot
How sweet

I tiptoe down the street
Smile at everyone I meet
But suddenly a scream
smashes through my dream
Fee fi fo fum,
I smell the blood of an asylum (Whitehouse)
Blood of an asylum?
But mother, I'm playing so beautifully!
Ha ha! Listen! Ha ha!
Fee fi fo fum,
I smell the blood of an asylum
Hey you!
You're such a pedant!
You got as much brain as a dead ant!
As much imagination as a caravan site!

But I still love you,
still love you,
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, how swee-ee-eet (Robertson, Dobson, etc)
to be an idiot

How sweet

How sweeeeeeeeeeee - *t*

How-ow-ow sweeeet
