Look Out For The Hairy Poodle

NP: John Cage, 4'33"

I had to do a screen capture of this, because I knew that if I clicked through, the headline would be far less awesome on the actual story.

I leave you now with an excerpt from Frank Zappa's "Cheepnis," which is quite possibly the only song in existence that deals with poodles and airports:

Ladies and gentlemen,
The monster,
Which the peasants in this area call FRUNOBULAX
(Apparently a very large poodle dog)
Has just been seen approaching The Power Plant
Bullets can't stop it
Rockets can't stop it
We may have to use NUCLEAR FORCE!

HERE COMES THAT POODLE DOG!
BIG AS A BLIMP WITH A RHINESTONE COLLAR
SNAPPIN' OFF THE TREES
LIKE THEY WAS BONSAI'D ORNAMENTS ON A
DRY-WOBBLE LANDSCAPE
KEEP IT AWAY! DON'T LET THE POODLE BITE ME!
WE CAN'T LET IT REPRODUCE! OH!
SOMEBODY GET OUT THE PANTS!

Full lyrics and opening monologue here. And here, if you want the rockin', uptempo You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore version.
