SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  This challenge was to write a song about a a report on National Public Radio that scientists in the US have made a fantastic advance in the study of honey bees -- they've caught several of the little buggers and glued diodes and antennae on their back with double-sided poster tape. "They look like hors d'oeuvres with glass toothpicks in them," said one of the researchers. Then the researchers release the honey bees and *attempt* to follow them in vans equipped with radio receivers; communicating with each other via walkie-talkies, evoking such conversations as: "He's going north." "Now he's going west." "He's going south -- nope, make that north again."

Revenge of the Honey Bees by mousethief
(Tune: All My Lovin')

mousethief's Comments: I liked the Bee-tles thing, so here's another . . .


With my glue-gun I'll tack you
Tomorrow I'll track you
As you fly amid flowers and trees
Then as well as I can
From the back of my van
I will track all the honey ... bees.

All the honey
Bees I've ever seen
Are just funny
Blips upon my screen

Close your eyes and just listen
They're buzzin' and hissin'
Out lookin' for pollen I'm sure
Say it's gettin' too hot here
The windows are not clear
Why don't you just open the door?

All the honey
Bees came rushing in
It's not funny
Man, it hurts like sin!

Cos the bees all left stingers
In my arms and my fingers
And places I'd rather not say
And since they didn't sting you
Please say if you think you
Could call 9-1-1, right away?

All they honey
Bees got their revenge
Ain't it funny
How they knew my van

All the honey,
All the honey, woo-woo
All the honey
Bees got their revenge!
