I knew when I started this 12 Days countdown that some days would be harder than others, and that I’d be stretching credulity pretty thin. (Luckily, yr used to that by now.)
This will be one of those days, seeing as how there aren’t many songs about milkmaids. Not good ones, anyway. It doesn’t help that when you Google “milkmaids” in the video section, you mostly get lactation porn. Which I do not really need to be seeing.
The closest I can get for you is this Meat Puppets instrumental. Though it’s worth listening to for the rocking whistle solo.
If that doesn’t work for you, I can get you a song about a milk cow.
No maids in it, but who can argue with a classic Kinks song?
Now I’ve got to go find some songs related to swans and geese.
The thing I do to entertain you people.
Udderly ridiculous,
This is dF

Back when I was doing Bad Cover Version on a regular basis, one category that never came up was TV show themes. Admittedly, it’s not a popular category. Sure, every surf band that ever existed have done a version of Hawaii Five-0 or The Munsters, but apart from that, if yr recording a TV theme song, yr probably either doing it for a tribute album or a movie soundtrack. Or yr They Might Be Giants.
Anyway, seeing as how it’s the Year Of The Ox, I was considering posting the theme to Rawhide. But then I thought, “Which version should I post?”
Not an easy decision when the contenders are Frankie Lane, the Blues Brothers and Dead Kennedys.
On the other hand, only one of them has ever been combined with footage from a 1938 western with an all-midget cast.
Which is why YouTube was invented, of course.
FUN FACT: You could make movies like that in the 1930s. You’d probably never get away with it today.
Good vittles, love and kissin’,

HAVE A COW
Jan. 26th, 2009 12:55 amLet me be the first to wish you a happy Year Of The Ox – with an old Tex Avery film of cattle singing “Cow Cow Boogie”.
I love this video. I don’t know why.
I’ve decided that I’m not going to formally launch a 52 Cows series – partly because I’m not sure if I can come up with 52 episodes, and partly because I’ve found that setting deadlines takes the fun out of it. I have enough deadlines in real life, let alone the Blogosphere™.
But cows do kick ass, so you’ll be seeing more variations on this theme for the next 12 months. Just look for the Dancing Cow® in the icon box.
And now I’m going to go and decapitate myself. Unless any of you have a better cure for a headache.
Get along li’l doggie,
