Cartoon Saturday

Who dreams up these weeks, anyhow?

A Russian warplane headed for targets in Ukraine accidentally dropped a bomb on the Russian city of Belgorad, about 25 miles from the Ukrainian border; the gigantic Space X "Starship" space launch vehicle exploded not long after its long-expected maiden launch; Fox "News" settled Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit for defamation out of court for a staggering $787.5 million, although the network barely covered it in its own newscasts; the Texas Senate passed three bills that would require public schools, beginning next year, to promote religion to their students and employees, including by prominently displaying the Ten Commandments in every classroom; and in Michigan (Michigan??), a 60-year-old man is facing a misdemeanor assault charge after allegedly assaulting a grocery clerk with a frozen fish.

Back in February, I ran a Cartoon Saturday that riffed on the lyrics to popular songs. It seemed to go over very well, so this week we'll revisit the topic ...

For those of you who remember the classic by Tennessee Ernie Ford ...  

The world's most utterly unintelligible lyrics just had to make it onto today's list ...

Yes, go ask her and see what she says ...

John Lennon would have been a lousy eyewitness ...

His calculations are probably spot on ...

She'll be rolling a big ... rock down on him before long ...

I wasn't born to run, either, nor have I aged into it ...

You have to be of my generation or earlier to appreciate this one ...

When the musical tastes of the audience change, a musician's gotta do what a musician's gotta do ...

Goo, goo, ga-joob ...

Have a good day and a great weekend surrounded by your favorite music. And speaking of music, be sure to come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday and the return of the Parody Project. See you then with more thoughts.
