Episode 15-Five To Ninety Nine


 
Here's Episode 15, a Ukulele song about forgetful old men, alcaholic mechanical birds and babies who are wiser than politicians. It's not a super serious song in any way but it's not a joke song either, it's a whole lot of little ideas mixed together to make what I hope is a cohesive whole of some kind. The title comes from the age range on board game boxes, as a kid I remember we had a couple that said, 5 to 100, or 5 to 99, and I'd imagine a five year old playing a board game with a really old person, somebody creaky and toothless, a stereotypical codger so to speak, maybe in some ways this song is about how the old and experienced and the super super young and inexpereinced have the most wisdom overall, but they're not able to communicate it so well, or if they are they're often ignored...?
