I suppose this needs a bit of explanation if you're not familiar with this fellow :giggle: If you ARE . . . you win my undying respect XD
This is The Camel With The Wrinkled Knees . . . a rather morose yet cute character from a crazy animated movie that came out in 1977, by the name of Ragedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure. ^_^
When I say crazy, I mean that there are segments of this movie that will make you question both your own sanity and the sanity of those who made it. There is some REALLY insane stuff in this movie.
BUT. The animation is amazing . . . the songs are wonderful (written by Joe Raposo, google him). Story . . . story is a little slow that I can remember (of course, the last time I saw this was at least ten years ago). This movie had an AMAZING impact on my then 6 year old brain when I saw it in the theater. I never forgot some of the images, and I always LOVED The Camel's solo "Blue". Whenever I'm feeling rather gloomy I find myself singing it.
I did the best I could on him, it was hard to find pictures, so I had to remember some things (especially since I couldn't find a PROFILE shot of him).
For your understanding, I include the lyrics to his song . . .
<b>Blue</b> by Joe Raposo
<i>When you can't find a friend
And the road doesn't seem to end
And you're lonesome the whole day through.
How can you be happy?
How can you be smilin'?
How can you be anything
But lowdown saggy and blue?
When there's nothing to share
And you don't have a dime to spare
And there's no one to comfort you.
How can you be smilin'?
How can you be singin'?
How can you be anything
But lowdown saggy and blue?
I look around and see the sweet life everywhere.
I watch the cookie bushes shining in the sun.
The smell of sweet vanilla living blows in every breath of air.
Doesn't anybody want me? Doesn't anybody care?
When you're wrinkled and cold
And yer fortune has all been told
And yer nobody's "I love you"
How can you be happy?
How can you be smilin'?
How can you be anything
But lowdown saggy and blue?
Sad but true.
How can you be happy?
How can you be singin'?
How can you be anything
But lowdown saggy, and ragbag baggy, and blue?</i>
If you read all of this, have a cookie. ;P
