The Aliens Make First Contact With Intelligent Life On Earth

Thomasina Sanger, Joel Martins & August Zazarella Perform At The Nines In New York

"I've Got the Box Turtle Blues". Thomasina Sanger Duets With The Singing Box Turtle Joel Martins. August Zazarella on piano.

(Verse 1)

Joel: I woke up slow beneath the willow tree, Sun was high but it barely noticed me. Tried to cross the driveway by half-past noon, Got run over by a lady hummin' show tunes.

Joel: I've got the box turtle blues, oh yeah, Movin' through life with my house on my back. While the hare's out hustlin', I'm stuck in a snack -- On a dandelion I can't quite chew through. Yeah, I've got those slow-mo, muddy-toe, box turtle blues...

(Verse 2)

Thomasina: My best gal left me for a tortoise in June, He had a six-pack shell and sang her a tune. He said, "Hey baby, I race for fun". Now I just bask and grumble at the sun.

Joel: I ain't got Wi-Fi, I don't move fast, But I've got ancient wisdom and moss on my... past. I could teach you zen if you'd sit a spell, Or just help me roll over -- I'm stuck on my shell.

Joel & Thomasina: I've got the box turtle blues, oh dear, been stranded in a muddle nearly half a year. But I'll keep on trudgin' with my wrinkled views -- Cause wisdom grows slow with the box turtle blues.

The Oranges

Prompt: a whimsical Pixar style CGI animated character that is an old shriveled orange. The orange, which is sitting in a wheelchair, has small arms and legs. His mouth is open in an angry yell. A mop of yellow hair perches on top of his round body. The setting is the oval office in the white house.
