This song brings to mind the canal-side pub where my mother waited tables as a kid; the local band loved this song. And "all God's creatures."

Which makes me think both of musical monsters, and pub/canal/small town/tourist trap monsters.

Um. Not both, apparently, as now... "some sing low, some sing higher, some sing out loud on the telephone wire..." has some interesting gremlin, ghost in the machine (good anime) images.

and THERE is the brainstorming mojo I was missing earlier.
