Q & A with Molly: The Water Buffalo Song (the first silly song ever)

Dedicated to my dear friend, Julianne, who is as much of a VeggieTales lover as myself, if not more :) Actually, I'm not sure if it was Julianne who suggested this idea, as the reader did not leave a name, but based on the idea I assume it was her. When I read it I immediately thought of her. If it was someone else please correct me. I guess it could have also been Allison...

here we go!!!

Q: Can you please quote a part of this song for those unfamiliar with the best TV show out there, aka VeggieTales?
A: The Water Buffalo song
Everybody's got a water buffalo
Yours is fast but mine is slow
Oh, where do you get them I don't know
But everyone's got a water buffaloooooo.................
I took my buffalo to the store
Got his head stuck in the door
Spilled some lima beans on the floor
Oh everybody's got a...
Q: Stop it! Stop! Stop right this instant!
A: Exactly what Archibald Asparagus said at that point in the song.

Q: I just didn't want you to go on and on and on and on as I know you can be prone to do when singing Silly Songs. Can people listen to it for themselves?
A: Yes. On Youtube: http://youtu.be/ltG37Bbx1qk

Q: What else does Archibald say?
A: I thought you didn't want me to quote any more of the song...

Q: Well.... we already got started.... and people might be curious.....
A: Admit it. You love Silly Songs.

Q: Being that I am you, and you love Silly Songs, wouldn't that be true?
A: Great!
Archibald continues:
What do you think you are doing?
You can't say everybody's got a water buffalo
When everyone does not have a water buffalo!
We're going to get nasty letters saying
"where's my water buffalo? Why don't i have a water buffalo?"
And are you prepared to deal with that? I don't think so!
Just stop being so silly!


Q: What do you think of Archibald's statement?
A: While he does have a just cause to say these discouraging things, he needs to consider that people watching it are aware that this is a Silly Song and not meant to be taken seriously. He has no right to tell Larry to stop being so silly, as this is Larry's job at that part of the film.

Q: Does Larry stop being so silly?
A: To the relief of the viewers, Larry is not easily discouraged. Not only does he continue singing, he becomes sillier, singing:
Everybody's got a baby kangaroo
Your's is pink but mine is blue.
Hers was small but...

Q: How does Archibald react?
A: Not well. He takes matters into his own hands, and resorting to violent methods, runs in screaming and tackles Larry.

Q: Does this discourage Larry?
A: Though he is finished for that episode, he goes on to make over 25 more silly songs.

Q: What do we learn about Larry because of this?
A: We learn that he perseveres through the hard times. Even when people discourage you, continue doing what you love.

Q: How can we apply this to our own lives?
A: We need to persevere also. When we are doing what we love (be it dancing, playing, working, or singing about nonsense) we need to keep on keeping on no matter how many asparagi with monocles come to tell us to stop.

Q: Anything else we should learn?
A: That the plural of asparagus is Asparaguses, not Asparagi. But Asparagi sounds cooler :)

A Psalm that I wrote

Oh Lord, your name is great
     Your name is to be praised
We praise you forever.
Sometimes it hurts
     And we wish life wasn't so
     But your promise endures
Your truth prevails
And though the storms come
     And the rains fall
Though the rocks shake
     And the clouds pour out their anger
We will stand firm
And we will praise your great name
     Forever.
And ever.
Oh Lord, your name is great.

"blogworthy" deep thought by Molly

"Sometimes your head just hurts.
And you wish it didn't hurt.
But it does."

Revival

Do y'all like the new colors and styles I've added to A Penny For My Thoughts? I have decided to get back to blogging - for the following reasons:

-Facebook is switching everyone to timeline, which I don't really like
-I was reading my past blog posts and cracking up...
-All my great readers miss me! (I hope :)

Luv ya all,

Molly

Let's do some more questions and answers :)

Topic: unknown at the time

Q: How are we going to figure out the topic?
A: I'm not sure. We will have to summarize what we have talked about at the end. So far the topic is: FIGURING OUT A QUESTION WORTHY TOPIC

Q: What are we going to talk about?
A: Well, I pulled up Yahoo.com and the news story was about a football player. Being that the Super Bowl is coming up, don't you think it seems reasonable to talk about football?

Q: What about our readers who don't like or don't understand football?
A: Here is a brief explanation for them:
-there is a brown ball
-one team gets 4 tries to bring the ball 10 yards
-if they do, they have 4 yards to get it another 10 yards
-They want to get it to the end of the field where they get some points
-if they fail on their 4 tries, or they score, the other team gets a chance
-the game continues

Q: Enough about the rules. Do you like football?
A: A little bit.
A: But let's not talk about my preferences

Q: It is soooo unfair to have two answers to one question
A: That's not even a question

Q: What?
A: What?

Q: How can we get ideas for more Q&A topics?
A: Are you done with football?

Q: Yes.
A: Let's ask our readers for ideas!

Q: Readers: please comment, call, text, or facebook me with Q&A ideas :)
A: That is so not a question

Q: Sorry.
