Why this song is awesome:

This song makes me feel like an adventurer, searching the deserts of Egypt for ancient loot.

I can picture it now. I’d be screaming “ALE-LE-LE-LE-LE-LE-LE-LE” from the top of the sand dunes. Then I’d take my Ali Baba sword, chop a camel and drink its milk straight from the hump.

An hour later, I’d find myself enthusiastically shaking hands with a smiling cactus as fruit punch begins to pour from my fingertips. Then I’d begin to feel lightheaded and happy like I’d just sucked in a blimp’s worth of helium. The rest would just kind of go black.

Moral of the story: do not drink straight from the hump.
