The Fidget Diet
People who fidget burn an extra 350 calories a day. This could work off 10 to 30 pounds a year.
Me? I've never been one to fidget much. Sometimes when I'm sitting in one place for very long, they'll be buzzards circling overhead.

Rubberband Man - The Spinners
I just noticed that on the Today in History module on the right-hand column that the rubber band was patented by Stephen Perry in England on March 17, 1845. That calls for this old tune:
Bar Mitzvah Buzz

Two bees ran into each other. The first bee asked the other how things were going.
"Really bad," said the second bee. "The weather has been really wet and damp and there aren't any flowers or pollen, so I can't make any honey."
"No problem," said the first bee. "Just fly down five blocks and turn left. Keep going until you see all the cars. There's a Bar Mitzvah going on and there are all kinds of fresh flowers and fruit."
"Thanks for the tip," said the second bee, and he flew away.
A few hours later, the two bees ran into each other again. The first bee asked, "How'd it go?"
"Great!" said the second bee. "It was everything you said it would be."
"Uh, what's that thing on your head?" asked the first bee.
"That's my yarmulke," said the second bee. "I didn't want them to think I was a WASP."

Go All the Way - The Raspberries
Note: saw the original video (posted here on 11/5/08) had been taken down, so I'm putting this one in its place.
This was a fairly controversial tune when it was released. From Wiki: Because of its sexually suggestive lyrics, considered risqué for the day, the song was banned by the BBC. (as well as by some radio stations in the U.S., as I recall) The repeat of the words "come on", in the bridge or middle section, is loosely based on the "come on"s that The Beatles did in "Please Please Me" (another sexually suggestive song).
