There’s a slight chance some of you might not have seen this terrific parody by Greg Peterson and his brothers already, but even if you have, it’s worth enjoying again:
Janie and I saw these young men being interviewed on a morning TV program yesterday. Neither of us knew the original song (since one of us is nine, I’m calling that a win), but I don’t think it’s necessary.

The music is “Fledermaus Can’t Get It” by Von Südenfed. I can neither express nor explain how tickled I am by the title of this piece.
