Obviously greatly missed by all.

Many "filkers" will feel the loss of his inspiration. (search "filk" for details.) For those who remember the "Bubble Car song" 1960s, but I don't know who wrote or performed ...

Beep! Beep! (a song from the viewpoint of a character who never gets the whole picture)

While running down a country road, so much to my surprise,

I Saw a heap of birdseed, of quite a gen'rous size.

I thought I'd stop and eat my fill, 'cos eating is my thing.

A giant rock fell past my head, and landed on a spring.

"Beep Beep, Beep Beep", I just went "Beep Beep Beep"

The next day on the roadway then I spied a railroad track.

It issued from a tunnel I remembered as a crack.

While waiting for the crossing bells, I just admired the view,

Then came a mighty gust of wind, a train came roaring through.

"Beep, Beep. etc.,"

One day upon a mountain pass, a rocket followed me.

I thought I'd best protect my ass, and ran away with glee.

The rocket followed on so fast, I didn't dare to stop.

I dodged it round a sudden bend, avoiding quite a drop.

"Bep beep etc.,..."

Tom Smith (U.S.) does a great song from the viewpoint of Wylie Coyote. If you can find/hear it then enjoy.

Anyone wants to use the above then fine, I'm not worried about copyright, but Warner Bros. may be...
