The Blackfly Song

Here in Maine
It's springtime again
And the weather is sunny and bright
Every day
In the month of May
Makes me feel alright

I got the lawn to mow
And there's no more snow
Anywhere to be found
But what I really love
Are these thousands of
Darn blackflies all around

Well, the biting swarm
Causes welts to form
On every patch of skin that shows

And if you don't watch out
They'll go in your mouth
And in your ears and up your nose...

...as you'll see here.

How long does the blackfly season last? Hope not all summer:( Definetley wear netting while working in the yard!

I guess the adage is "Mother's Day till Father's Day..."

Then the mosquitoes kick in.

I just re-listened to this and realized that the birds stopped their chirping just prior to the intro. I am sure it was an editing decision. Ha ha ha. Beautiful.

[slatersgarage]

That was a stroke of luck, really... I hadn't even noticed the birds until the edit was almost finished... Good catch!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. I am so glad you SPIT a bonafide loogey, and didn't jsut fake it. Great close. Very good. Good show. 5*****

Thank you... Got the idea for the song after an earlier blackfly hors d'oeuvre while raking the lawn.

Thanks for posting the lyrics. Without them, it would have been difficult to make out some of your rapping.

[fergusof]

Ha ha. Good stuff, man. Those blackflies really are the worst.

Wrong, Saladays. You DID try to be mean. Unless you have no control over your fingers on the keyboard, you intended to type "worst garbage to come out of Maine" and "I'm crap" or "I suck, check it out, I'll prove it." Slatersgarage, you're smart to igonore this guy. Plus, you're an adult and he's probably just a middle schooler. A tip, Saladays: improve your grammar.

[mudhens4ever]

Oh, big deal, Saladays. So what. He won't win awards with it, but it's still fun.

[cotiaux]

NICE! I know what you mean, those things chew on you too!
