SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The
(Unofficial) Song Challenge: From Amos -- The
Off-Beat News feature of Netscape Central offers this tidbit from jolly England,
where the unusual is to be expected: (Sunday, Feb. 4, 2001) Lovelorn Peacocks
Terrorize British Villagers -- LONDON (Reuters) - Flocks of feral peacocks
are terrorizing villages across Britain in a desperate but futile search for
mates, the Sunday Times reported. The lovelorn peacocks have descended on
rural communities, chasing children and destroying vegetable patches in a vain
search for peahens to mate with, the paper said. "Because the hens
nest on the ground, they are being eaten by foxes, which means there are not
enough to go around," peacock breeder Quinton Spratt told the paper.
Peacocks are not known for their monogamous habits. Each male bird requires at
least five hens to mate with. The birds are believed to be fugitives from
stately homes where they have become popular attractions because of their
colorful plumage and fan-shaped tails.
I Can't Get No Peacock Satisfaction by mousethief
(Tune: Satisfaction (Rolling Stones))
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no peahen action
And I've tried (4x)
I can't get no...
Hey hey hey.
I'm hot today.
When I'm loose in London Town
And it's mating time again
But I can't mate at all 'cos I cannot find
An eligible peahen
I can't get no....
When I'm walking down the road
And I see a fence post or little kid
And I got to unload my load
Then I jump on 'em baby, and start to shriek
Cos I ain't had no lovin' in over a week
Yes it seems I'm on a losin' streak
I'd like to get five, but I'm not unique
All us peacocks' situations are pretty bleak
I can't get no....
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no peahen action
And I've tried (4x)
I can't get no...
Hey hey hey.
I'm hot today.
