Songs 25 + 26/30

I didn't do yesterday's song, I was distracted by things...

Song 25: A song that makes you laugh.

Man, my friend put me onto Tim Minchin. I knew about him already, but I never bothered to look him up more. He showed me Storm, which is very clever and has amazing delivery. Well, it's actually a beat poem but whatever, it's close enough to a song to be called a song.

Song 26: A song you can play on an instrument.

Well well well... I used to play the violin, then when I went to high school I learned the tenor saxophone. At the time, I was obsessed with the muppets and I saw the older school band perform The Muppet Show theme song and asked for the sheet music so I could play it. I didn't practice much but I was still pretty ok at the sax. The sax teacher didn't give me the music because I didn't practice much, so I struck a deal. I'd practice more, and if I showed noticable improvement he'd give me the sheet music for The Muppet Show. I practiced my ass off for 3 weeks, 2 to 5 hours a night except weekends, and proved it by showing a big improvement. He kept his end of the deal and gave me the sheet music. It was fucking awesome, since I already knew the tune I picked it up and could play half of it flawlessly in half an hours' practice.
