I'm in the last days of my current home, where I've been enjoying two months of fabulous garden veggies I didn't grow myself. In 4 days, I start moving into my new home, where I plan to start a garden of my own.
So this is the perfect twofer - it's all about salad veggies for Bobby, and it's an '80s song (from 1982) for Del.
"Anti-Garden Song" by Eric Kilburn (1982)
Plus you get a bit of "Garden Song" by David Mallett, of which this is a parody, and a little tour of the current garden, which I've been harvesting while the landpeople are away.
Today I learned that this song is a straight parody of "Garden Song", on the same chords and melody, and not, as I thought, a minor key parody. We always sang it in minor in my New Jersey sing-along group, and I think it ought always to have been done this way. And so I have.
