02 Apr 01 - 08:43 PM (#431623) Subject: Ants Are Blowing in the Wind From: GUEST,Roll&Go-C I am shocked and disappointed that Charlie King's great parody of Dylan's "The Answer is Blowing in the Wind" is nowhere to be found in the Mudcat Digital Tradition Archieves. For shame! Please, would someone rectify this error and restore my faith in this system. |

03 Apr 01 - 02:04 PM (#432246) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ants Are Blowing in the Wind From: dick greenhaus the only thing I've hears that resembles this is Michael Cooney's list of kid's Mondegreens: "The ants are my fdriends, They're blowing on the wind." |

I did hear Charlie King sing this song, so assumed he wrote it. But then Michael is a good one for picking up off-the-wall songs from other people. You do have the chorus right, except for typos! |

03 Apr 01 - 11:21 PM (#432697) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ants Are Blowing in the Wind From: Little Hawk The one I heard was not about ants at all, but it had the line "How many roads must a man drive down, before he admits he is lost?" That was the funniest line by far. It got kind of weak after that, not half as good as the original song. - LH p.s. Bob, don't sue. It was a waste of time and money with Albert and it'd be a waste of time here as well...just write a venomous new song that excoriates parasitic assaults on your catalog by 3rd rate imitators who wear portable TV's on their armbands and speak in tongues. |

LMAO! I've heard the "How many roads.." parody too, but not sure where; could be the Four Bitchin' Babes. |

If you can still do that, would you extract the lyrics and post them here for all to marvel at? |

16 Jan 10 - 12:39 PM (#2813690) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ants Are Blowing in the Wind From: GUEST,999--DAMN. Me again, cookieless. Way many ants came to visit me When I moved into my home I gave them sugar when they came around And they never left me alone But one day when I was playing with them Up to the land came a cyclone The ants are my friends, they're blowin' in the wind The ants, they are blowin' in the wind The wind was strong and it lifted the ants Several thousand feet above the ground It practically devoured them with many wild gusts And out of the land they were bound I only watched and squirmed as I saw the ants They couldn't even be saved by my hound The ants are my friends, they're blowin' in the wind The ants, they are blowin' in the wind Now I'm lonely without these insects And their home is so empty and vast I get laughed at by everyone at school Cause I should have been a little more fast Even my parents are heartbroken We thought our friendship would last The ants are my friends, they're blowin' in the wind The ants, they are blowin' in the wind If they're not the requested lyrics, there seem to be others with a Google of "the ants are my friends, they're blowin' in the wind" Leave the quotation marks on. |
