Liner Notes

This song came from this week's Bad Song Club prompt. I haven't been active with the Bad Song Group but this prompt intrigued me and off I went. Thank you Carley for the Inspiration! My mind went straight to the Make Room For Ducklings tale, acoustic guitar version. #badsongclub #folk #acousticonetake

Lyrics

Mac, Jack, Pack, Celiac Ducks in a row Ducks on the Common Following Mother Mallard

I was joking about Celiac But what would be wrong With a few new names For the duckling troupe

We could call one Brainiac The smart one bringing up the rear We could call one Zodiac Feet on the ground, reaching for the stars

Mac, Jack, Pack, Celiac, Brainiac and Zodiac Another one named Insomniac Another one named Kerouac

Pity the poor mother duck Trying to keep these names straight Eight ducks in a row on the Common.

Yes, pity the mom trying to keep those names straight - especially if she's pissed! Great play with the names, I don't know the tale and need to look it up. This imagery stuck hard, "We could call one Brainiac / The smart one bringing up the rear / We could call one Zodiac / Feet on the ground, reaching for the stars". The steady playing mirroring the waddling of the row. I've a Ducks in a Row song come at some point this week.

Dude, giving things weird names is one of my favourite things ever, this song is so far up my alley you don't even know. Love it, I'd name some ducks Lumberjack, Pancake Snack and Asscrack.
