Twelve Line Song

Sooooooo....... my brain has played a cruel little trick on me and my family. 

We are supposed to perform a song today that will be difficult to find the music to.  The song is by a little group called 8in8.  I've talked about this group a bit- it's a teaming of author Neil Gaiman, his wife Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds and Damian Kulash of OK Go. 

8in8 was formed, by Amanda Palmer, as an effort to write and record 8 songs in 8 hours.  They used Neil Gaiman for help with lyrics (he even sings a song!) and streamed the writing process live online.  In the end, they were able to write 6 songs in 12 hours.  I bought and downloaded the album here for a dollar:

I love this idea, and I think the songs turned out to be pretty good.  Today's song (called "Twelve Line Song) is one of these songs.  Here's a clip if you want to hear it.  It's about a squirrel who commits suicide. 

As promised, here's our version of the song.  Such a strange little song- we had fun doing it anyway.
