The Arrogant Worms are a comedy-folk trio from Canada. They have been to Musikfest many times. And with each performance they continue to make the crowds laugh. Make 'em happy. You can't see The Worms and go home sad. If you've never seen them, I implore you to check them out, especially if you are having a rough week at work or maybe your car broke down or possibly your dog ran away. They will cheer you up.

The Arrogant Worms: History Is Made By Stupid People [ purchase ] I actually mentioned this tune during our Silly Songs theme a few months ago - how nice that it fits quite perfectly into this week's theme, such that I can elaborate... A subdued Billy-Joel-ish beginning segues into an explosion of Sousa-inspired patriotica, as The Worms regale us with examples of those who went awry or committed faux pas, only to lead to great fame (or, in some cases, infamy) - one man's [...]
Christmas Turkey is a Christmas-themed album released in 1997 by the Canadian Comedy Music group The Arrogant Worms. For the uninformed, The Arrogant Worms are a Canadian musical comedy trio that parodies many musical genres. They are well known for their humorous on-stage banter in addition to their great music. When not spoofing a particular style of music, the Worms' material pokes fun at various aspects of daily life in Canada with songs like "Canada's Really Big", "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate", "Me Like Hockey", "We are the Beaver" and "Proud to Be Canadian". In fact you haven't lived untill [...]
The Arrogant Worms: Carrot Juice is Murder [ purchase ] I can't imagine getting through a Silly Songs Week without including one of the "boy bands", Canadian (Fruvous, BNL) or otherwise (DaVinci's Notebook) – The Arrogant Worms , from Ontario, fit the bill… and then some, as much of their humor depends on sight gags as well… My first Folk Alliance (an annual folk conference, oxymoron-ish as that sounds) was in February 1999 in Albuquerque, New Mexico – it's the only business gathering where, when one [...]
Musikfest starts today. What is Musikfest? Only the coolest, most awesome 10 days of music (mostly for free) on the East Coast. Maybe anywhere. If you are in Bethlehem over the next 10 days, maybe check out one of performers below. Or just get some of those wonderful Musikfest money-tickets, buy a 22 ounce beer and POLKA all night long!!! Either way, look for The Duke, The Duchess and Duke Jr. to be traipsing around the 'fest. To get you excited, I made this mix of mp3s [...]

Today in Music History: In 2005, Coldplay's new album was illegally put on the internet a week before its release. The leak took place on the day copies were sent to UK radio stations and the day before it went on sale in Japan. Any CDs that were sent out to journalists were labelled with a false name - The Fir Trees - to throw would-be pirates off the scent. Shiver me timbers, I nearly forgot about the upcoming Buccaneer Days in Esquimalt. Good [...]
