“…You put the lime in the coconut …”
I thought I had seen this movie so long ago that I would have forgotten it even though it was one of my collage roommates’ favorites. But that coconut song, which is in the movie ,has been stuck in my head for days! I don’t think I can actually give this book a fair review because ” ..I said DOCTOR…” between the limes and the coconuts and hearing in my head the narrator of Pushing Daises reading it “...she drank them both up…” I was completely distracted. Clearly this book should be narrated by a woman’s voice, and clearly my head was addled by the “…and call me in the morning…”‘s
This is reason number 15 we no longer have a TV. Movies and TV shows ruined what I think may have been a perfectly good book. As a rule I don’t watch movies of books I have loved. But this is one of the first times a movie and a completely unrelated TV show have ruined a book for me!
Would I recommend it? Ummm no, but my view is completely skewed, don’t trust me on this one. I have to get it back to the library even looking at it sets off the singing in my head.
Behind the Willows 
Just wait ’til you actually listen to a book on tape narrated by the narrater of Pushing Daisies (his name is Jim Dale)and in the middle of Dave Barry’s Peter Pan books I kept hearing PD quotes.
Emerson: We all have childhood issues. I have horror stories
Ned: I kind of killed her father when I was 10.
Emerson: Maybe not horror stories.
Chuck: I’ll be so mad if you’re lying you’ll have me scratching the drapes.
Ned: I’m not lying. Please don’t attack the window treatments.
——————–
Ned: You’re supposed to be dead. This is pushing your luck.
Chuck: Yeah, well, luck pushed me first.
——————–
Chuck: You can’t just touch someone’s life and be done with it.
Ned: Yes I can. That’s how I roll.
