13. @daviottenheimer the coolest part about swimming at the World Waterpark in Edmonton isn’t that it’s huge (it is); it’s the snow outside.

20. Orpheus sat gloomy in his garden shed
    Wondering what to do
    With a lump of wood, a piece of wire
    And a little pot of glue
    O Mamma O Mamma

    He sawed at the wood with half a heart
    And glued it top to bottom
    He strung a wire in between
    He was feeling something rotten
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Orpheus looked at his instrument
    And he gave the wire a pluck
    He heard a sound so beautiful
    He gasped and said O my God
    O Mamma O Mamma

    He rushed inside to tell his wife
    He went racing down the halls
    Eurydice was still asleep in bed
    Like a sack of cannonballs
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Look what I’ve made, cried Orpheus
    And he plucked a gentle note
    Eurydice’s eyes popped from their sockets
    And her tongue burst through her throat
    O Mamma O Mamma

    O God, what have I done, he said
    As her blood pooled in the sheets
    But in his heart he felt a bliss
    With which nothing could compete
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Orpheus went leaping through the fields
    Strumming as hard as he did please
    Birdies detonated in the sky
    Bunnies dashed their brains out on the trees
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Orpheus strummed till his fingers bled
    He hit a G minor 7
    He woke up God from a deep, deep sleep
    God was a major player in heaven
    O Mamma O Mamma

    God picked up a giant hammer
    And He threw it with an thunderous yell
    It smashed down hard on Orpheus’ head
    And knocked him down a well
    O Mamma O Mamma

    The well went down very deep
    Very deep went down the well
    The well went down so very deep
    Well, the well went down to hell
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Poor Orpheus woke up with a start
    All amongst the rotting dead
    His lyre tacked safe under his arm
    His brains all down his head
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Eurydice appeared brindled in blood
    And she said to Orpheus
    If you play that fucking thing down here
    I’ll stick it up your orifice!
    O Mamma O Mamma

    This lyre lark is for the birds, said Orpheus
    It’s enough to send you bats
    Let’s stay down here, Eurydice, dear
    And we’ll have a bunch of screaming brats
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Orpheus picked up his lyre for the last time
    He was on a real low down bummer
    And stared deep into the abyss and said
    This one is for Mamma

    O Mamma O Mamma
    O Mamma O Mamma

44. The Fresh Prince’s Theme from The Fresh Prince of Bel-air mashed-up with Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up

    Ooh ooh

    Now this is the story all about how
    We’re no strangers to love

    My life got flipped, turned upside down
    You know the rules and so do I

    And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
    A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of

    I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air
    You wouldn’t get this from any other guy

    In west Philadelphia born and raised
    I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling

    On the playground where I spent most of my days
    Gotta make you understand

    Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
    We’ve known each other for so long

    And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
    Your heart’s been aching but

    When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
    You’re too shy to say it

    Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
    Inside we both know what’s been going on

    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    We know the game and we’re gonna play it

    And said “You’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air”
    And if you ask me how I’m feeling

    I whistled for a cab and when it came near
    Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see

    the License plate said “fresh” and had a dice in the mirror
    We’ve know each other for so long

    If anything I could say that this cab was rare
    Your heart’s been aching

    But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air!
    You’re too shy to say it

    I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
    Inside we both know what’s been going on

    And I yelled to the cabby “Yo, homes smell you later!”
    I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling

    Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
    We know the game and we’re gonna play it

    To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-air
    Gotta make you understand

    Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

    (Ooh, give you up)
    (Ooh, give you up)
    (Ooh)
    Never gonna give, never gonna give
    (Give you up)
    (Ooh)
    Never gonna give, never gonna give
    (Give you up)

    Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

    Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

    Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
