14. I can tell you the song I don't like.

Mandy.

[Aristus]

15. "Ships". It's about an estranged father and son. Especially poignant for me right now.

I first heard that song back in sixth grade. I still like it...

16. Mocha Banana!

Mocha Banana (To the tune of Copacabana by Barry Manilow)


His name was Baskin. He loved his ice cream.
But he was never satisfied with the flavors that he tried.
He knew there’s more to life than vanilla
But at nearly every store, he was told there’s nothing more
And so at night he’d dream
About a new ice cream
He’d wake up drenched in sweat and he would yell and scream
“I want Mocha, Mocha Banana!
The Hottest Ice Cream in Montana
I want Mocha, Mocha Banana
The best concoction since discov’ring chocolate, I want Mocha…..”

No vanilla……..

Then there was Robbins. He too loved ice cream.
But the flavors that he knew always left him sad and blue.
He was convinced he was missing something
There was a flavor in his mind, something he could not quite define
Until that fateful day
When Baskin chanced his way
They talked and found they were soulmates and declared that they
Would make Mocha, Mocha Banana!
The hottest ice cream in Montana
They’d make Mocha, Mocha Banana
The best concoction since discov’ring chocolate, we’ll make Mocha…..

No vanilla……
(background): …..Mocha, Mocha Banana…..plugged by Santana…..in Texarkana…)

They got together in Baskin’s kitchen
They were determined to create a flavor that would make them great
They worked like madmen right through til sunrise
They got some thirty flavors done, but they still wanted thirty-one,
And in six hours’ time
It looked like swamp-bred slime
But then they decided to taste it and it tasted fine
It was Mocha, Mocha Banana!
The hottest ice cream in Montana
It was Mocha, Mocha Banana!
The best concoction since discov’ring chocolate, it was Mocha….

No vanilla…….
(background): mocha…..mocha banana…..mocha banana….
