I can name that song in …


Blob: I have the worst song in my head, why does this happen to me? I don’t even know the words.

Bryan: What is it?

Blob: Mmmm-hmmm-hmm pick a bale of cotton, Mmm-hmmm-hmm, pick a bale of hay

[blank stares]

Blob: None of you have ever heard that song? [looking up the song online to play it for everyone – starts playing the song “Pick a Bale of Cotton”]

Everybody: [scrunch face]?!?

Blob: Okay, well … this is not the original artist. Any guesses as to who is singing this song? I’ll give you a clue … their name uses only two letters.

Yohn: Is it … Abba??

Blob: IT IS ABBA!! Is this not the craziest thing you’ve ever heard? Why did ABBA record this song?

Yohn: I would rather pick a bale of cotton than listen to [eyeroll] “Pick a Bale of Cotton”

Bryan: … you can play that song at your next rally.


The names of the “Bryan”, “Blob”, and “Yohn” have been changed so you don’t know who they are …
