you oughta go see the mardi gras
in new orleans, mom and betty and i went to a mardi gras store. (mom gives mardi gras dinner parties, and needed some more decorations to give her home that classy purple-gold-and-green-glittery look. understated elegance.) here is some music, RA format, to give you some local color.
i grew up hearing mardi gras music, of course, so the songs they played over the pa system were familiar to me. doesn't matter: since saturday night i have had the whistling riff from "go to the mardi gras" scrolling through my head.
make it stop. i beg of you.

For the longest time, I thought Professor Longhair was singing "It's got a vagina". Turns out he was singing "It's Carnival time-a." What a letdown that was.

Didn't you know that Professor Longhair is like Kurt Cobain? Make up any lyrics. Mumble, repeat.
