SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   This Challenge! was suggested by sophocleese (thanks!). If you're getting those summertime doldrums (or wintertime doldrums, if you're one of our NZ/OZ friends), here's a frisky little Challenge! that ought to blow those doldrums right away (hehehehehe):   So A Man Walks Into A Bar With A Fox Under His Arm And... -- "This whole story has been blown out of all proportion," said a spokeswoman for the Over and Sons garage in Aspatria. "It's true that last week a man walked onto our forecourt in the Market Place with a fox under his arm, pushed the nozzle of the compressed air line into the animal's rectum, put 20p in the slot, and pumped it until it exploded. But what the newspaper reports didn't mention was that the animal was already dead."   The spokeswoman explained that the garage had been under siege for several days following reports about the incident. A report appeared in the local paper, talking about 'this sickening and horrible act,' and next day the nasty phone calls started. Animal rights activists even threatened to make reprisal attacks on the garage, and more staff were called in.   But what had really happened was that an amateur taxidermist had brought the dead fox in, and asked if he could pump some air between the fur and the skin, to loosen the pelt. After apparently 'overdoing' it a bit, he then ran away in embarrassment. The garage's spokeswoman continued, "It ought to be obvious to anyone that the animal couldn't have been alive. I mean, it's hard enough to even hold a live fox, let alone insert an air-line up its rectum.  I should imagine."   Police later confirmed that they had spoken to a man about the incident. "We are convinced that no criminal act has taken place, but we did warn him about the inadvisability of inflating animals in a public place." 

Fox Hollow Song by Praise
(Parody on a DT Song, FOX HOLLOW SONG by Richard Wilkie)

Praise's Comments:  This makes little sense unless you first read the original (which I have stolen nearly line for line because I am tired and lazy and it is the quickest way to get a song posted!!!!).... 

The dunderheads were sitting on the barstools down below
It was raining in Fox Hollow, and the people would not go.
I came to this tavern to hear some people sing
But I won't go home this evening til I see that 'dermist's thing.

He comes over from the valley, to this city by the sea
To show us how it's done (gives classes monthly and biweekly).
Uses every kind of instrument that I have ever seen
On every kind of critter (even roadkill turning turned green).

But I never saw him blow one up, and now I wonder why!
I've never seen him lose his touch and explode one to the sky!
We know the world keeps turning while we are singing here
And we hope to have the fox put back together in the summer time next year.
