Lyrics

How did we get Groundhog Day? We Stole it We stole it Here's the story:

Imbolc is an Irish Holiday, They light candles and They clean the house. And if the weather is particularly mild They say "The spring will be right out!"

Now doesn't this remind you of our own Puxatawney Phil? Now he's not coming to sort this out, and I doubt he will.

So happy Imbolc to our Irish friends And please forgive the theft It's a problem that we've had for awhile We have no new ideas left.

Nice one! I love the 12-string and the harmonies!

@pippa 1d

Great idea for a tune! great tune, and I like the strumming and the singing and the harmonies. The end is a surprise!

@slyeli 1d

I can’t even say Puxatawney and Imbolc, let alone sing them in a song. Very impressive.

@seemanski 1d

Dude, this is cracking. Made me chuckle immediately and then I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. This is such a wonderful take on the challenge, the 12 string and percussion sound fantastic too.

@kiraly 1d

This is so fun! I clicked on it because I have a friend who is really into Groundhog Day and was pleased to learn about a holiday I hadn't previously known about. The harmony works really well, great stuff!

Love this ! Imbolc is actually a gaelic festival, and celebrated not just in Ireland, but Scotland and the Isle of Man also. Many many people in England and Wales also celebrate the old Celtic festivals, which are interwoven into life.

Thank you for expanding my world view with this prompt!

@mashala 1d

I really like the feel of the song and the arrangement. Great Skirmish!

@willlll 1d

Short and sweet. I'm neither Irish nor American so I have no idea what's going on but it's a good little tune. Hopefully you'll have more ideas for the rest of the month 😀

@robcrusade 1d

They're both weather predicting traditions of a sort, and that just stuck with me so I went with it. Thanks!
