The Wildcat's Den

Back in the day, I used to be really into filking songs for Harry Potter themes.  I found one that I wrote for the Leaky Lounge two years ago for the release of "Half-Blood Prince."  The discussion was prompted because someone had a gallon of milk in their fridge that expired on July 16, 2005 (HBP's release date) and they all started talking about how they wanted their milk to expire so they could have the book.  Geeky-nerdiness ensued and inspiration followed.  Now we're in the home stretch for Deathly Hallows, it would be appropriate to haul it out of mothballs and polish it up (it's the last chance I'll have to use this, so shut up):

Curdle Now

To the tune of “Better Now” by Collective Soul

SCENE: Potterholics peruse their refrigerators in search of milk that will expire on or around July 21, 2007.  Once they find it, they serenade it in some kind of weird-rock-and-roll-ish-joy.

Oh, you're newly Pasteurized
All tasty and clean
Expires on the twenty-first?
Time for you to turn green

When “Hallows” comes out, you’re thrown out
You’ve got to curdle now
I wanna shout out, want to spit out
Oh, please just curdle now

I’ll be happy as Gilderoy
With another book sold
Stand in my position
And think thoughts of mold

It’s no hard feelings, but I’m still waiting
I want you to curdle now
In sixteen* days, I’ve come a long way
Oh, please just curdle now

This milk’s done drinking
When book seven's sitting
In my little hot mittens now
(Repeat until the end of the song with “curdle now” repeated in the background)

*Because I updated this on July 5, 2007; Any number is acceptable as we get closer to July 21 (once you get to the mono-syllabic numbers, you can add "long" as a second syllable (example, when there's nine days left, it'll be "In nine long days," you get the idea)

Behold the geek!! (What can I say? I don't make icons).

Love from,

PS, Emily and I had a nice little text message chat (she was at work) and all is well with the world, FYI. Thanks for the concern.
