The Song Challenge:
Don't Ya Crawl Too Slow, Move Along Lil' Suckahs . . . – DULUTH, Minnesota (AP) -- Phil DeVore thinks of himself as a
rancher. But he doesn't ride the range tending his herd, he just drops meat scraps into the pond. DeVore
raises leeches on his farm south of Superior, Wisconsin. He says the little suckers are like black gold.
The leeches are prized by fisherman as bait. DeVore tells the Duluth, Minnesota, News Tribune he's working 20 hours
a day this time of year to keep up with demand. DeVore's jumbo leeches sell for about 16 dollars a pound -- more
expensive than steak. He says even if he wanted to eat leeches, he couldn't afford it.
I Get a Fish Out of You (Any Bait Goes) by JenEllen
(Tune: I Get A Kick Out Of You)
JenEllen's Comments: Humble apologies to Cole Porter....blame it on the brain worms.
My story is much to sad to be told
Everything in my tackle box
Leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out at my fishing hole
With a bucket of old tadpoles
And I suddenly turn and see
That magical bait
I catch no fish with a worm
Those that nightcrawl don't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a fish out of you
Some get their fish with a lure
But banjo minnows and small plastic frogs
Like those guys on ESPN2
But I get a fish out of you
I get a fish everytime I see you on my hook acrobatic
You wiggle longer 'cause you're formerly aquatic
I get no fish with pink eggs
My bobber floats without one single bite
And coloured marshmellows chase fish away
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a fish out of you
