Song Of The Day - Day 169

Today's song is...


In the Middle, In the Middle, In the Middle


Such a nice arrangement on this song. It's fun and lively, with the keyboard and the xylophone type thing and is that a bass clarinet or a bass sax? Whatever, I like it. I also enjoy it performed by puppets. But I enjoy anything performed by puppets. But I think my favorite performances are some of the live ones I have recordings of, where Linnell fudges his way through the keyboard part at the start, dropping notes and slurring runs, and is immediately shown up by Dan Miller finger picking his way through the same melody flawlessly on the guitar. Those make me laugh every time.

  1. This is my favorite song to hear the Avatars sing. I loved hearing it at Mohegan in 2009, because there is seriously nothing funnier than watching sock puppets sing a PSA in the middle of a casino.
