Black Swan Green

Every time I hear the name of David Mitchell’s new novel I want to sing it to the tune of Neil Diamond’s “Song Sung Blue”. Not sure why.

Perhaps it’s the same demon which drives Terri to sing “If you like Jorge Posada” to the tune of the Pina Colada song every time the Sox play the Yankees. And this season has added “Why do you pull the ball, Toby Hall?” (of the TB Devil Rays) to the tune of… [guess]

    Just a note–I’ve no idea if Toby Hall is actually prone to pulling the ball. It just rhymes, ‘kay?

    Also, I should perhaps not have put something you came up with a few hours ago on the same level as the time-honored Jorge Posada song.

    As we’ve now discovered, the new tune also works with “Why do you drop the ball/catch the ball/hit the ball/lose the ball (etc.), Toby Hall?”
