Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Band & sometimes just The Bonzos for short) was created by a group of British art-school students in the 1960s. Combining elements of music hall, trad jazz and psychedelic pop with surreal humour and avant-garde art, the Bonzos came to the public attention through a 1968 ITV comedy show, Do Not Adjust Your Set. Not only did they perform their song "Death Cab for Cutie" in the Beatles movie "Magical Mystery Tour" they also happen to be one of my favorite bands of all time.
Lyrics
In the canyons of your mind I will wander through your brain To the ventricles of your heart, my dear I'm in love with you again! Across the mountains of your chest I will stick a Union Jack To the forest of your cheek, ah... Through the holes in your string vest! My darling In my cardboard-colored dreams (Cardboard-colored dreams) Once again I hear your laugh (Oooh, oooh, oooh) And I kiss, yes, I kiss your perfumed hair (But she's not there) The sweet essence of giraffe (Of giraffe) And each time I hear your name (Frying Pan, Frying Pan) Oh, oh, oh, my, my... how... how it hurts! (He's in pain!) In the wardrobe of my soul (Of my soul) In the section labeled "Shirts" (Aaah... aaah) oo I mean it!
