"got a condo made of stone-a"

[tenaya]

Just saw on the news that a new, improved King Tut exhibit will be coming to the LACMA (LA county museum of Art) starting in June of 2005. It will have some of the stuff from the last time and 130 new pieces. A fair amount of the money will be going back to Egypt to help with building their museums and the care of artifacts. Whoo hoo!

For those that are local, the Bowers Museum on Sat, Dec 4 is having a lecture on how the Great Pyramind was built. 1:30-3pm. http://www.bowers.org/

Now, everyone sing along with me!

"King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).

(king Tut) Now, if I'd known
they'd line up just to see him,
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)

Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian
They're sellin' you.

Now, when I die,
now don't think I'm a nut,
don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut"
