Feb 2022 twosday ukulele twohoursflat
Today's Mutts cartoon by Patrick McDonnell was the inspiration as it involved the day's date and the punchline, "I didn't ask for a song." Of course the day needed a song! I'm sure I'm not alone in writing a song about the 22nd of February in 2022. Written, recorded and posted in two hours--may be a new record for me!
Today’s a special day if you live in London or Rome
But it’s only moderately interesting in my Chicago home
Month, Day, Year is how we say dates here
But most other places it’s Day, Month, Year (Day Month Year)
Which means it’s a perfect palindrome in Paris [Paree]
Same forward and backward in Bali
A February day
It’s so much fun to say
I think I’ll run it by a few more times

You can start at either end
It comes out right again
No matter what you do
It ends in twenty -two !

Oh, this is fun. What an efficient topical song. I especially like how you point out how much cooler the date is in other locales. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of your songs. So glad we got to collaborate this year.

This is a charming little singalong, catchy and beautifully sung. A little while ago, someone pointed out that the date would be a palindrome in Europe, so I'm chuffed to come across your delightful song
