Music for possibly the weirdest wedding anniversary ever

This wedding anniversary did not turn out as planned. 

Maybe I'll tell you about it later.  
Nuthin' tragic.  
Certainly educational.

Meanwhile, Canada Day is bearing down upon us - it promises some weirdness as well - so I offer this dreamy ditty from Toronto-born Abigail Lapell. Everywhere we go, you know everyone, people say hello/ Every time you call our song starts playing, on the radio /
Has it been a year or two?  Will it be cotton or leather? 
Mercury and iron, carbon, silver, bind us together/ 
Diamonds are a dime a dozen, take my hand/ Take my hand and don’t stop running

Happy anniversary, one more year/ Frozen in amber, for eternity /Oh darling, oh my dear 
Has it been a year or two? Will it be cotton or leather? 
Mercury and iron, carbon, silver, bind us togethеr, together
Everywhеre we go, you know everyone (Happy anniversary)/ People say hello (One more year, frozen in amber) 
Every time you call our song starts playing (For eternity, oh darling oh my dear)/On the radio

Sounds like Hades to me...


 

In what seems to be turning into a chilling summer theme, I offer this latest bit of literate humour from Wrong Hands' John Atkinson.

He's from Ottawa, but I don't hold that against him.  

Not much.

Sus. Very sus.

I wanted to share this because: a) it's funny; b) it's timely; c) it's cleverly executed; d) it's part of a series of videos (hence the "5"); and e) it's Canadian. 

Julie Nolke is a gifted comedian and writer, and despite the centre part in her hair, she's a millennial. 

(She was also born in Calgary, but I won't hold that against her.)
