The Best Post Ever!

My twins have never been ones to relish in the spotlight, so this footage is out of character. This talent show was put on while I was at a Relief Society activity, so clearly this was not scripted, nor would I have guessed the were capable of such artistic creativity. Each boy even has his own personal styple of "singing." Stu is more classical pop/rock and accompanies himself mostly on the air guitar. Wes's accompaniment is sometimes a kazoo, but his style is much more poetic in nature--very similar to the Mike Meyer's style in So I Married an Ax Murderer.

This is going to be a very long post because there are seven songs ranging from 30 sec. to several minutes. I will keep this post up for several weeks to give you time to watch them all. We are happy to hear your commetns, reviews, interpretations, and favorites. Also, they need a cool band name.

Just like many songs, it is difficult to understand them, so for your convenience I have included the lyrics--though they may not always be completely accurate. Also, watch for references to actual events and people.

Without further adieu, I'm proud to present....The Larsen Boys.

This next one is rather dark in nature, and I almost considered not posting it. Maybe skip it, if you have small children in the room. (I'm kind of kidding, but kind of not.)

Very Very Spooky Song - by Wes
Bumblebee and me,
This is a very spooky song,
About Stu and you and Spiderman,
It’s a very spooky song about bad guys!
About bad guys.
I’ve got a spooky song to tell,
If we tell about the bad guys,
They’ll come out and kill you.
And if you tell them they’ll start a Spiderman coming through,
And (sound effects),
Yeah, I think I can do a Spiderman or a bad guy,
Or anything, I can do it,
Forever, right now.
This is creepy or a creepy song,
Or mean a bad guy (sound effect)!

Stu intros this song, claiming its not so long, but really its the longest of them all. Still I love every minute of it--especially Wes's input.

A Long Scary Song by Stu
Anyway, a scary song,
Anyway, its not so long.
Anyway, there’s bats hats,
Not so long,
So so scar’ar-y,
Ananan, its so scary.
You’re not gonna believe it,
Because its really scary,
Anyway, nanana.
I heard it,
A creepy sound,
Its like, “Squeek,” ba’ats,
Its like, “Crow, crow,”
Its like, “Raayrt,”
Are ye what, it can be a bear.
(It might…was be a pteranodon.)
No, a pteranodon can’t be in a forest.

Anyway and everyway.
Anyway, and only a T-rex.
(Raaarr.)
That’s not a T-rex, in the cave.
Anyway itself in ?? from the cave.
(Skeleton.)
Only yes, that is it.
Any skeleton can chase you.
And bats can chase you, too,
Bats can chase you, too.
Bats can chase you, too.

Only dogs like bo’ones.
And they like bo’ones.
Only a dog can help you.
(Ahhh! I got it. Dogs will eat the skeleton!)
Only a d’dog,
A dog can help you,
Only in the ca’ave,
Only when I was at Lagoon,
I went on the scary ride.
