Red Mr. Peanut Bank I am Red. Mr. Peanut Bank. I specialize in camp fire-style guitar work. I know everything Woody Guthrie ever played or thought of. I also play a mean version of "Pharaoh Pharaoh." off camera voice Can you play "Louie Louie"? Red Mr. Peanut Bank Er, no. But I do know "Seek Ye First." I have also lost several guitars to the camp fire. off camera voice Well, why don't you play something for us.

Guatemalan Apocalyptic Angel of Doom I don't normally play guitar; I'm more of a horn player. However, I need the work. I will be using a unique technique in which I will be blowing on the strings. It produces a very subtle sound.

Guatemalan Apocalyptic Angel of Doom Er, no. But I can play "La Bamba!"
off camera voice Well, don't call us, we'll call you.
Guatemalan Apocalyptic Angel of Doom Can I play something?

I vote for;
Mr. Chompy's Chewed-up Squeaky Kitty Toy

Is that last foto Revdm. Murray?

Padre Mickey said...

No, David; It's just some guy in a hat.
Thank you for your vote.

Matthew Hubbard said...

Squealy Gorilla, hands down. Playing Ramones at an audition is an automatic call back.

IT'S THE LAW!

Dennis said...

It is hard to tell. Can you have them all come back and play Clocks by Cold Play?

June Butler said...

With David, I have to go with Mr. Chompy's Chewed-up Squeaky Kitty Toy.

Dennis said...

For you, Padre.

The Kingsmen singing Louie, Louie

Dennis said...

And go see the OCICBOV... website to see what that vicious Grandmere Mimi had to say about our constant struggle just to please the readers.

Edward said...

Well, I've heard auditions that were more bizarre... In fact, I am auditioning sopranos right now. After five "Ave Marias" (next time I'll specify NO AVE MARIA), I got a Cole Porter tune which was nice, but not really what I'm looking for :-) All of them knew "Seek ye first", however. Would Miss Egyptian Hippo be willing to commute to L.A.?

To me it's a toss-up between Mr. Chompy's Chewed-up Squeaky Kitty Toy and Squeaky Gorilla. I love The Ramoes, but that solo from "Another Girl, Another Planet" is sweet.

As for Coldplay, so...much...HATE...

Like I saidicated before: someone gots way too much time on their hands.

Suzanne said...

My vote is for El Toro. Personally I like the smoothe sounds. But I thought it was,
"One Ton Potato".

Luiz Coelho said...

I vote for Blurry Bear.

Oh really, I don't know what you would do if I didn't "pop in" and help you "sort stuff" out and save you from your own lack of taste and wisdom...you are so confused all the time as to which/witch end is up and what's what or not...obviously (and I say this with a deep, and all knowing, homosexual tone for extra emphasis) The Guatemalan Apocalyptic Angel of Doom brings the exact "combination" of rich pitch and "complimentos" Egyptian Hyppo of Whatever perfectoly...actually, I believe that GAAD (as he is known on high) will one day (very soonish) take to the top of the chartes, er, charts and FLY us all down to Rio to see Luiz officiate!

It's so hot down here and I'm dancing as fast as I can...just where is Bishop Vacables anyway when one could really use a Grand Slam overbid?

Nite-o,

A su orden

johnieb said...

What? No votes for La-la or Diablito from this crowd? Is this being run fairly?

Mr. Chompy's etc., etc. gots mah vote.

Matthew Hubbard said...

I already voted for the gorilla, but if you are going for a look, Diablito Sucio cuts a fine figure.

Anonymous said...

I loves me some Diablito Sucio but I wasn't sure whether it was okay to vote for him since I can't read Spanish and don't know what those lyrics were about. . .

Brother David said...

Mary Clarq it isn't anything bad. The Dirty Little Devil is singing to a "significant" other.

That I awaken to the light of your glance, I ask God.
That my mother doesn't die and that my father remembers me, I ask God.


¡But he is one butt ugly Diablito!

Luiz Coelho said...

I suggest everybody to vote for the Blurry Bear.

1) Because Mickey's blog is not truly inclusive: Blurry Bear was denied the sacrament of playing the guitar.

2) Because Blurrycito was humble enough to realize he wasn't tallented enough.

3) Because we should protest against the House of Bishops of the True true true (I mean it) Church, which passed a resolution forbidding all those characters whose manner of life was a challenge to the wider church, to play the guitar. Blurry Bear was excluded, then (I wonder why the Teletubby is playing it! Must be one of those liberal Chicago Piskiepalians trying to make one of them sneak in).

Padre Mickey said...

Well, I may be accused of "sizeism" here, but Blurry Bear is way, way, too tiny to play the guitar. He's smaller than La-la, who can barely support the instrument!

Also, playing the guitar is not a sacrament, it is a vocation, a calling, and while God calls all of us to work for the coming of the Reign of God, God does not call everyone to play the guitar!!

Dang lib'ruls!

Luiz Coelho said...

Playing the guitar is the most important of all sacraments ever!

It was ordained by Christ Himself, ya' know.

And that's why Mickey is THA PRIEST.

I See You!
