i’m a bear
Lyrics:
I am a bear bear bear bear
I am not a car bear bear bear
I can’t walk but I can dance
I can’t talk but I can sing
I am a bear bear bear bear
I am a bear bear bear bear
I hate fighting bear bear bear
My rival is fried shrimp
I was probably chocolate in a previous life
I am a bear bear bear bear
Bonjour! Je m’appelle Kuma. Comment ca va?
(Hello! I am Kuma. How are you?)
I am a bear bear bear bear
The winter is cold bear bear bear
In the evening, “Goodnight, Mr. Pillow”
In the morning, “Good morning, Mr. Pillow”
In the evening, “Goodnight, Mr. Pillow”
In the morning, “Good morning, Mr. Pillow”
I am a bear be-be-bear
Mama* bear bear

one-minute vacation
tired of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? need to get away, even for just a minute? the quiet american web site has a series of “one-minute vacations”, which are one minute ambient recordings of a certain place, a certain time. the quality of some of the recordings, which anyone can submit, vary in quality, but sometimes i prefer the imperfect recordings, which can really amplify the nostaglic feelings that some of these recordings invoke.
