The Song Challenge: Well,
this should be a "cleansing" experience after the last two Challenge!s.
The Topless Mermaid: 'Most people just look and cheer' -- OSLO, Norway - A
bare-breasted blonde mermaid perched atop a rock is making tourists gape in
disbelief along a Norwegian fjord. "One man once jumped off a boat
and swam over to me," Line Oexnevad, 37 and mother of two children, said on
Tuesday of her unorthodox job as a professional siren. "Most people just
look and cheer." Oexnevad, naked except for a long blonde wig and a
costume fish-tail, said she has sat five times on a rock along the Lyse fjord in
West Norway in the past three summers, hired as a surprise attraction for
tourist boat trips and parties. "The last time it was a bit
cold," she said. "The mermaid in Copenhagen and me are the only
mermaids I know of," she said. The "Little Mermaid" in Copenhagen
is a statue inspired by a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. Oexnevad,
who also works at a hospital in nearby Stavanger, said she was no good at
singing -- in legend, sirens sang to lure sailors. "Maybe next time I'll
take along a cassette player," she said.
A Mermaid On A Rock! by Mbo
(Tune: "The Mermaid")
It was Sunday morn when we set sail
On a fjord-tourning rendezvous
When I saw on a rock in the salty brine
The answer to my dreams come true!
A mermaid on a rock!
She gave me quite a shock!
A bare-chested large-breasted woman on the top
With a cute little fishes' tail below below below!
A cute little fishes' tail below!
Well they pointed and cheered like a bunch of stupid fools
All the folks by the rail next to me
But I knew in my heart that I had to do more
So I leapt from the boat to the sea!
A mermaid on a rock!
She gave me quite a shock!
A bare-chested large-breasted woman on the top
With a cute little fishes' tail below below below!
A cute little fishes' tail below!
Oh I swam and I swam toward the rock where she sat
As fast as a hot knife through butter
So I took off me pants, for more speed did I need
And it worked like a charm as a rudder!
A mermaid on a rock!
She gave me quite a shock!
A bare-chested large-breasted woman on the top
With a cute little fishes' tail below below below!
A cute little fishes' tail below!
I arrived where she sat, and I stared like a cat
At her glistening ladies' things and I said
"You and my sea cucumbah could do the wavy rhumba"
But she dropped her boombox on my head!
A mermaid on a rock!
She gave me quite a shock!
A bare-chested large-breasted woman on the top
With a cute little fishes' tail below below below!
A cute little fishes' tail below!
So beware of those mermaids, and take of me this advice
Keep your head, or your wits they'll rob
And never ever try your best pick-up line
When she's got Gordon Bok on the knob!
A mermaid on a rock!
She gave me quite a shock!
A bare-chested large-breasted woman on the top
With a cute little fishes' tail below below below!
A cute little fishes' tail below!
