SCRIPT:
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, Elmo’s song
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, Elmo’s song
hello everybody, my name’s Elmo!
you want to know what Elmo doesn’t understand?
Big Bird! Elmo doesn’t understand Big Bird.
Why can’t Big Bird fly? Elmo thinks it’s extraordinary that Big Bird is a bird..but he doesn’t fly.
Elmo doesn’t know why Big Bird can’t fly.
I suppose one reason or explanation could be that the aerodynamics suggest that Big Birds lift would not be great enough………..fly.
Elmo knows other aminals that can fly.
Do you know other aminals that can fly?
Toucans can fly.
Parakeets can fly. hehe!
Elmo saw a movie once with a mammal that could fly.
It was called Batman!
………the joker.
He’s supposed to be this big shot..chaotic.
He thinks everything is a joke.
Always saying “why so serious?”
And he’s got all these……to do his dirty work for him because he’s too much of a coward to do it himself.
It’s crazy they haven’t even tried to kill him yet.
But i bet you they have.
It’s extraordinary how he lies and cheats his way out of everything.
And he’s always making up different stories about how he got those scars.
I bet he just made out with a porcupine.
He…………..but he still wears makeup.
He calls it war paint, but i know it’s makeup.
Just like a little girl.
Edward Cullen!
He’s just so hott!
Every girl I know thinks so, and every boy I know doesn’t know why.
That’s what I don’t understand.
I mean seriously, I don’t care if you can pee your name in cursive in the snow!
I don’t care!
………on one hand they’re supposed to be this this strong wall of protection keeping us away from harm.
But on the other hand, all they care about is football and their movies.
I mean, vampires, whoo!
And Star Wars.
And what’s with the Lord of The Rings and that creepy, crawly guy?
What’s his name again?
Smeagol!
…………………that’s what Smeagol doesn’t understand.
………………but they only want to make things better for them!
………………………oh no, they’re not.
………..lies, precious. Lies! ……….
Christians. That’s who I don’t understand.
They acknowledge their God with their with their lips, but live their everyday life like one big lie.
How can someone be two different kinds of people at once?
They claim to have something so Extraordinary, yet wouldn’t dare risking their own popularity by sharing it with someone like me.
They watch the same filthy movies as I do.
Use the same cuss words as me.
They even lead the same disgusting sinful life, which is no different from mine.
It’s like they have the cure for cancer, but simply choose not to share it.
I’ll tell you what, if they weren’t so hypocritical in their own lives, I would definitely be more interested in hearing about the redemption of this extraordinary God.
You want to know who I don’t understand?
Christians.

Don McLean’s famous song Starry Night, a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, one of the greatest painter the world has known.

Van Gogh spent his early life working for a firm of art dealers and after a brief spell as a teacher, became a missionary worker in a very poor mining region. He did not embark upon a career as an artist until 1880. Initially he only worked with somber colors, until an encounter in Paris with Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, whose brighter colours and style of painting he developed into a uniquely recognizable style, which was fully developed during time spent at Arles.

He produced more than 2,000 works, including around 900 paintings and 1100 drawings and sketches, during the last ten years of his life. Most of his best-known works were produced in the final two years of his life, during which time he cut off part of his left ear following a breakdown in his friendship with Paul Gauguin. After this he suffered recurrent bouts of mental illness, and committed suicide.
