But what if Noah had just said "No suh"?

Well, we'd all have fins and scaly skins
We'd breathe through gills instead of nos-trils
And we'd eat fish food instead of vitamin pills!
(It's scary but it's true...)

I can't decide which bit of A Mighty Wind is more brilliant: The spot-on folk song parodies, or the spot-on album covers.


You gave me sweet things and flowers
You gave me a sky so blue
You gave me a rock to lean on
And I gave myself to you

We wandered through each other's secrets
We traded an honored word
We shared a solemn promise
But like the raven's cry, it must be heard


Now a sailor's life is a life for him
But it never was for me
And I've never soared where the hawk may soar
Or seen what the hawk might see

Never hiked to heaven on a mountain trail
Never rode on a river's rage, no I
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all.

I wish someone had done more scans of the album covers. These are all I can find. Well, plus a Mitch solo album a la Dylan:

Parodies or not, I thought the music was pretty great. I went online to see who actually did the playing and singing, and I found out that the cast wrote and performed all of the songs and instruments. Sure, they're funny and whatnot, but that's a very talented cast to do all of that. The concert at the end was also done live and in front of all of those people, recorded almost in real time.

You're right. They're extremely talented. You can watch most of the concert on the DVD, too. The cast also did a very truncated live tour in 2003; aussie_nyc got to see them in New York City, the lucky devil, but the Boston show I was going to attend was cancelled.
