Mermaid Music: Spoopy Edition

 🎃Spoopy Edition🎃

It's time for the next lot of Mermaid Music, Spoooooppppyy Edition. Because I have spent the majority of the last month listening to my Hallowe'en playlist. So I thought I'd share my top five faves and add them to the Mermaid Music playlist.

Spooky, Scary Skeletons (Undead Tombstone Remix) - Andrew Gold

This one came up on my TikTok feed before it sank in that this was my kind of tune. Naturally, I then scoured Spotify for it and queued it up a number of times. It just has that steampunk vibe which I love. I may have been singing and dancing to this while I waited for trick or treaters.


Sweet Transvestite - Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show)

Can we just take a moment to appreciate what a beautiful human Tim Curry is? His voice is also incredible and this voice is just so heckin' fun to sing along to. That "Hah-yahh" noise he makes is just. so. good. It's been a while since I've seen the film, I wonder if it's on Netflix...


The Cringe - Patton Oswalt (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is an incredible TV show and the way they pay hommage to modern music is just phenomenal. The Cringe plays hommage to The Monster Mash, a fine song but not a hilarious reflection upon how embarassing moments come back to haunt you worse than anything else. Be prepared, there are likely to be more CEG songs appearing on Mermaid Musics in the future.


Friends on the Other Side - Keith David (Princess and the Frog)

Keith David came on my radar thanks to season 6 of Community, and since then I see (or hear!) him everywhere. So when it clicked that this song was sung by Keith David, I started to listen to it more carefully. I never really rated P&tF as a film, but it's soundtrack is phenomenal. If I am not listening to steampunk, I am listening to jazz and this film expertly captures that New Orleans vibe. Pair that with Keith David's smooooooth vocals, and you've got a recipe for shivers!


Club Villain - Your Favourite Martian

Showing my age here, but who else remembers when =3 and Your Favourite Martian were a thing? I used to religiously watch Ray William Johnson's =3 YouTube show and get excited over the next song from his band. Club Villain is definitely one of, if not the, best songs they ever did. It's impressive how many baddies they manage to name drop. Now, if you'll excuse me, Imma be partying with all these villains.

Recycla-cools: EcoBricks

Image
You know how you see something once and then several times over that day you see that same thing over and over? Well, that happened to me recently. I was scrolling through Instagram and someone mentioned EcoBricks . It came up a couple more times and then my co-worker messaged me, asking about them! It was a sign from the universe, my next post was going to be about EcoBricks after doing some much needed research. EcoBrick wall. Photo from cobute 🌍 WHAT IS AN ECOBRICK?!  I think the website puts it best: An EcoBrick is a reusable building block created by packing clean and dry used plastic into a plastic bottle to a set density. Essentially, plastic bottles are stuffed with non-recyclable plastics to create a sturdy building block with almost limitless uses. Much like the water bottle houses I covered recently. EcoBrick is a global organisation which is trying to give our essentially value-less trash value. By packing it into a bottle, it has been removed fr...

Final Friday Top Five!

Image
It occurs to me that I should be thinking about Christmas... But I don't have the brain for it, so it can be Not Christmas for just a little bit longer. So have a Top Five! Final Friday Top Five Disney Sidekicks From Movies In/On/Around Water Yes, that specific. Do you know how few Disney films are based around water? So some real liberties have been taken. Starting with... 5. Ray (The Princess & The Frog) Picture from Disney Wiki Bear with me on this one. So he's in The Princess & The Frog , which has an actual water-y sidekick - Louis the Alligator. But Ray lives in the Bayou which is a swampy habitat. While I like the trumpet playing gator, I like Ray better. He is voiced by Jim Cummings , who voices everyone! From Scar's singing voice to modern Winnie the Pooh, if the film is animated this guy is likely to be in it. Plus, he sings My Belle Evangeline which is not only beautiful but the song my sister walked down the aisle to. It ma...

Marine Creature of the Month JUNE

Image
I was hoping to have the next Sharks at 7 & 3/4 s filmed and edited by now, but the boy ran off half way through filming and then told me he doesn't want to do it because it was too stressful! So that is still in the works right now. Instead, have a #MCotM! Manta Ray via GIPHY Kingdom: Animalia Class: Chordata Conservation Status: Vunerable (VU) Found: International waters Diet: Zooplankton Weight: Up to 1,350kg (2,980lbs) Size: From 5.5m (18ft) to 7m (23ft) Habitat: Temperate, subtropical and tropical waters; pelagic waters. Manta rays, known online as majestic flap flaps (!), are huge and beautiful creatures. Just look at it flap along - look at it! Fangirling aside, they are incredible. There are two species of manta ray: M. birostris (the larger of the two) and M. alfredi (named after Prince Alfred). They are both very similar in appearance, with a few key differences. As already mentioned, M. birostris are larger, but they are also darker...
