Then he got to thinking that it was really sad that they all died and he never got to see one. The song now makes him cry (I am not laughing - I am not a bad mum :0). Thanks for the link for the new furry lobster Michelle, it may have saved the day! My 5 year loved this song for a whole week and new most of the words.

They're very similar, but there's a subtle plaintive quality to your voice in that one, like you're honestly pining the loss of these poor sweet creatures that's lost in the more polished version from Thing of the Week. Either way, as always, I love the song and thanks for writing it! Liam. I think I agree that the version from “Attack of the Show” is my favorite.

I keep listening to it. I also finally got around to listening to the whole hobo list, and it's hilarious. What is John doing when he says, "stand by", is something getting edited out, or is that just for effect? Maybe you should sell certified FOL hats and merchandise. I know after I bought a bunch of shirts, a coworker commented that he might like some, except he doesn't wear white shirts. I can sympathize. Some black or other-colored shirts might be nice.

One important question left unanswered: were the FOLs kosher? If so, the NFNLs are a definite step back. That’s a great song–sad and wistful, but funny, too.

It's unclear what my motives are, I just like the Furry Old Lobster a lot. Which I guess still doesn't explain why I wear one on my head. But hey - it's show biz! Guy in a funny hat!
