Excellent Friday Time Waster

100 Years of TDF Bikes
Le blog de velosvintage.over-blog.com100ème Tour de France, 100 vélos, 100 champions...

Le Tour de France 2013 fêtera sa 100ème édition. Pour commémorer la plus grande épreuve cycliste au monde, je vais vous présenter cent bicyclettes et leurs champions qui ont marqué l'histoire de la grande boucle.

The link to this blog was sent to me by longtime cycling and cycling industry veteran, Tom Hoefer, with the subject line of "Friday Time Waster". He couldn't have been more correct. I'd note that there are also nice photos of the bicycle's respective rider and racing jersey. Here's just one year to whet your appetite.

Stop That Skanking
by The Twinkle Brothers

Captivating lyrics about Ska Dancing (aka Skanking) that are both clever and nonsensical, enlightened and silly... but definitely rhyme.

Mama, Mama, look at sis,
she's in the backyard skanking like this.
Come in here girl, come here fast,
and stop that skanking off your yes, yes, yes.

Mama meet a rooster, she thought it was a dog,
she put it on the table with it's two legs off.
Here comes sister, with a spoon and a glass,
She was scraping out the gravy out it's yes, yes, yes.

Rub a dooba dooba dooba ba day yeah
Rub a dooba dooba dooba ba day yeah

Come in here girl, come in here fast,
and stop that skanking off your yes, yes, yes.

Where I from in Augustine,
a bullfrog was using a sewing machine.
He sewed and he sewed, yet he stitched too fast,
he get 99 stitches in his yes, yes, yes.

Two Christmas Eves, not a soul in the house,
nothing was moving, not even a mouse.
Suddenly I hear, something fast,
it was Santa Claus sliding on his yes, yes, yes.

Rub a dooba dooba dooba ba day yeah
Rub a dooba dooba dooba ba day yeah

Come in here girl, come in here fast,
and stop that skanking off your yes, yes, yes.
