about



There was a beat, Betsy and I locked eyes, and I immediately started typing lyrics. A song was born. We retreated to the music room, giggling and grabbing for instruments. Twenty minutes later, we emailed Vixy back with an mp3 and said "We do now." She responded with "falls off chair. Woman! I was kidding!"



Read more at: "Salad of Doom" was written in less than twenty minutes, with Betsy and Kate, in the kitchen of their Redmond home, and in the floor of the music room next to the kitchen. It was Vixy's birthday, a fine summer evening, and the Tinneys were hosting K's fire safety class that evening. Because Vixy knew about the class and suspected that the house was already likely to be overrun with people, she emailed to ask if it would be all right with everyone for her to come over and play with the kittens (and bring her hubby and whether they should feed themselves, etc). When I asked Dave, Betsy's amazing husband, he said "oh, sure! I'm gonna feed everybody with a gigantic salad bar," or somesuch other amazing sentence. I wrote Vixy back and told her that Dave had dinner in hand with an uber-grazing salad bar of doom, and that she and her Fishy should come on over. She responded with "wow, Dave is awesome. I wonder if I should sing for my supper. Do you know any songs about salads?"There was a beat, Betsy and I locked eyes, and I immediately started typing lyrics. A song was born.

lyrics

Beware the Bleu Cheese of Redmond

and the honey-mustard of gloom

Be careful how you stick your fork into

the Notorious Salad of Doom



An army of croutons comes crunching

while sinister spinach doth creep

invading the heart of your luncheon

and stirring your belly from sleep



Tempting and colorful veggies

seek only to draw you in

and learning your fate, you'll find it's too late

as dressing drips from your chin!



iceberg lettuce

will come to chill your soul

don't say we didn't warn you

as you blindly fill up your bowl!

Oh, HEADS OF LETTUCE WILL ROLL! Ho!



Dress it in flowers and clover,

but it consumes you still!

In leather and lace,

past the bounds of good taste,

this salad is dressed to kill!



The popping of cherry tomatoes

resounds throughout the land!

Innocence lost when the salad was tossed,

but Dave was just feeding the band!!



Iceberg lettuce

will come to chill your soul

don't say we didn't warn you

as you blithely fill up your bowl, oh,

heads of lettuce will roll!



Oh, Health nuts, seek other nutrition!

Vegans, best run from the room!

Be careful how you stick your fork into

the Notorious Salad of Doom



Woe to the grazers of green things,

whose stomachs will growl all too soon!

We'll lose all we love in the tastiness of

The Notorious Salad of Doom
