“Birdhouse” is a masterpiece. It’s adorable that you sang it to your kids. Happy Father’s Day.

My dad would lull us with “Molly Malone,”, an Irish death ballad and a strange choice as a lullaby. But he would pep it up by letting us sing the chorus: “Cockles and mussels!”

He also sang “Johnny B. Goode” and “Rocky Raccoon.” Quite a range.

Sam, now that you bring it up, think I did Rocky raccoon for a hot minute!

Thankfully, the majority of my kids grew up to find their own fandom in They Might Be Giants which I find endlessly endearing. Thanks Sam.
