Monkey Monday: Dan and Dan sing about eggs! 17 May 2010 7:01 pm
Posted by Tracy in : consumerism,eating,eggs,funny,monkeys,random,silly,video , View CommentsI know, I know, I’m about a million years behind on all the awesomeness the Intergoogletwitfacetubes have to offer, but big thanks to Ze Frank for blogging about Dan and Dan’s Daily Mail song, so I could waste a dryer cycle watching their videos, including this gem, which is going to be stuck in my head for the foreseeable future, not that there’s anything wrong with that:
