I greatly appreciate that you opened up with "You can do it in a church" - glad to keep some irreverence here. Typical pk. ;)

How you recorded this with a straight face, I'll never know, but I'm glad you did. This song is hilarious and silly in the best ways.

One of our dogs (Olive) believes 'everybody farts' (she will just look right at you without breaking eye contact while she lets one loose) but the other dog pretends it couldn't have been her, so she slinks away and then looks at everyone else like she's disappointed in one of us.

I will tell you one of my favourite stories. Cows, as you are likely aware, produce substantial amounts of methane. Apparently, they can occasionally get blocked up and it's quite bad for their health. So once this Dutch farmer called a veterinarian to attend to his blocked-up cow, and the treatment involves inserting a hollow tube up...  there. And wiggling it about until it hits the pocket of gas, which then is expelled rapidly. For reasons we'll perhaps never know, this vet decided to succumb to childish instincts and lit a match, perhaps underestimating the volume and power of the gas inside, and burned down barns and many acres of farmland.

"Everybody Farts" (#425, 201220)

 * co-written with Pete & Pat Luboff * 

You can do it in a church or an elevator
You can do it if you’re a cow or an alligator
You can try to hold it back but it will come out later
Everybody farts

You can be the Queen of England or a newborn babe
You can blame it on the dog and say, Me? No way!
But the truth is you’re gonna do it night and day
Everybody farts

Everybody farts everybody farts
Bless our smelly hearts everybody farts
All the way from Fresno to Sleepy Hollow
Farting is such sweet sorrow
Sing it with me now everybody farts

Who smelt it dealt it who thunk it stunk it
Who spoke it broke it who sniffed it biffed it
Whoever's poking fun is the smoking gun
Everybody farts

	Who declared it blared it who introduced it produced it
	Who spoke it broke it who observed it served it
	Whoever sang the song did the pong
	Everybody farts

Everybody farts everybody farts
Bless our smelly hearts everybody farts
Hold your breath and pull my finger
Wipe away a tear 'cause the best ones linger
The truth will set you free everybody farts

For some folks in South America it’s how they say hello
In China you can get a job as a fart smelling pro
You even do it for a while after you die that’s how it goes

Everybody farts everybody farts
Bless our smelly hearts everybody farts
Anybody hear that barking spider
I stepped on a duck and he was full of fiber
Quick someone get me a lighter everybody farts
