Random Bond moment of awesomeness

Post by katied »

I was at my favorite neighborhood coffee place(not a Starbucks,although I've been known to go there, too!), and someone was talking about chopping down a mango tree(occasionally I'll hear about people having mango trees around here-our climate is perfect for them!) and I started singing "Underneath the mango tree". Of course I had to explain it to everyone else there.

My head is *way* too full of pop culture-y stuff-but in a good way! :mrgreen:

Just found a version of this by Wild Billy Childish and the Blackhands on YouTube. Childish is best known for being in Thee Headcoats and various other garage punk bands, so this authentic-sounding version is not what I would expect from him.

Awesomeness in a bottle. Or in this case put to music.
Love 'Underneath the mango tree' great find Kris. Now the only difficulty will be to stop humming it. :P
