King Tut

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

This song has been in my mind for a few days.  A little 30 year old humor from one Wild and Crazy Guy… about another wild and crazy guy…

 
King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he’d see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How’d you get so funky?
(Funky Tut) Did you do the Monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (King Tut).

(King Tut) Now, if I’d known
They’d line up just to see him,
I’d trade in all my money
And buy me a museum. (King Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He’s my favorite honky
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (King Tut)

Dancin’ by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style (boss Tut)
Rockin’ for a mile (rockin’ Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol
He’s an Egyptian
They’re sellin’ you.

Now, when I die,
Now don’t think I’m a nut,
Don’t want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut (King Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut

CCC – Crazy City of Cairo

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007
Day two took us to the train station for tickets to Luxor Friday night.  That went smoothly enough.  A quick cab ride across the city to Islamic Cairo was good enough with a driver that quoted a fair price from ... [Continue reading this entry]

Cairo… First Day

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007
Not many places have a lower reputation than Cairo. It has 8 million residents in the city and 16 million in the metropolitan area, but the real story is that it is one of the most densely packed places ... [Continue reading this entry]

Tusnoozia

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Tunisia... what a bore.  Some of it has to do with just leaving exciting Morocco and some of it is due to Ramadan.  Tunisia seems fairly well-to-do with many beautiful, well-kept homes and neighborhoods.  I have never seen so many ... [Continue reading this entry]

Rest of Morocco

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007
Beyond Fez and Marrakech I was able to visit Ifrane in the Middle Atlas Mountains, Ziz Valley, the Sahara Desert, Dades Gorge, a village in the High Atlas Mountains and Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast. Ifrane is a small ... [Continue reading this entry]

Fezelas

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

By the end of the trip, I am sure the Brazil to Morocco move will be one of the strangest taken.  My head spun for a week afterward wanting to be on a beach in Brazil and having difficulty ... [Continue reading this entry]

Day 1

Friday, September 14th, 2007

Of Ramadan, that is. I woke up starving because I could not eat last night. The group tour returned to Marrakech and everyone was going out for lunch before heading on to Casablanca. I opted out because ... [Continue reading this entry]

Like a Rolling Stone

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Today was one of those never-to-forget days. As reported earlier, I started with the Cyber Park which was quite pleasant especially in the back where the plantings are near the ancient ochre-colored fortification walls that basically surround the medina. ... [Continue reading this entry]
