Another day, another reason to make a playlist centered around one single word! Today the word is ‘bear,’ mostly because last time the word was ‘tiger’ and the time before that was ‘lion,’ and everybody loves a pattern. This playlist should be listened to with the windows open, late in the afternoon while you clean out your attic or make homemade enchiladas. Just make sure you’re keeping yourself busy so that when Kimya Dawson comes on, you won’t be ready for it. That part is crucial.

It is catchy and includes the line “You got a lot of nerve for someone with no spine.”

i was almost eaten by a bear one time in wyoming. by that i mean i saw it and took a picture of it before it moseyed along. the bear song by green jelly (dumb and dumber soundtrack) is stuck in my head now.
Oh, my!
Somebody had to do it.
this playlist completely made my morning. i kind of can’t stop listening to bipolar bear.
Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy wuzzy wasnt fuzzy was he?
My mom used to sing that to me back in the day when she still used to teach kindergarten, it’s about bears that are different.
I remember that rhyme…what fond memories!
