The Blibbering Humdingers IF

The Blibbering Humdingers - Scott and Kirsten Vaughan began performing together in 1992 in the SCA, where they are known as Efenwealt Wystle and Maîtresse Aénor d'Anjou. With the release of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows in 2007, and upon encountering bands like Draco & the Malfoys, The Mudbloods, and The Moaning Myrtles they decided to form their own wizard rock act. From there they've branched into all kinds of nerd rock, filk, folk, and un. They live in Cary, NC where they really have nothing to talk about with any of their neighbors.

When not out conquering the galaxy with her army of robotic wallabies, Kirsten creates steampunk/medieval/fantasy accessories for her online store, MyFunkyCamelot.etsy.com. And in order to protect his secret past as a renegade architect, Scott pretends to manage communications campaigns for clinical research studies at a small advertising/creative services agency. Their pal Chuck who often plays bass with them claims to be a mild-mannered government IT contracts coordinator, but we suspect he's really a super spy. Over the years they've been joined by numerous friends for recordings and show. Most recently their offspring Gwen and Liam have been backing them up on drums, keyboards, and other assorted instruments.

It is time... To play the music
It is time ... To light the lights.
It is time to meet the muppets
On the Muppet. Show. to-night.

One dark and stormy evening filled with terror and dismay
Down in the Muppet Labs where the future's made today
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew perfecting his design
The Crosslinguistic Serum for translations mind to mind

He tested first on Beaker, and then Camilla too,
but Meep Meep Meep and Bawk bawk bawk were all that filtered through
He called upon the Swedish Chef to test his language fixer
But nothing could predict the foul effects of the elixir

Chorus:
He's a homicidal maniac with chainsaw and a cleaver
he's cracked he's baked he's fried he's stewed & acting like a Reaver
If he catches you he'll eat you with his bloody knife and fork
but you'll always hear him coming
...bork bork bork
...Bork Bork Bork
...Bork Bork Bork!!

He made Statler Waldorf salad, and Electric Mayhem stew
Sauerkraut with sausage from the guy who reads the news
Pork Chops from the Pigs in Space, and king prawn on the grill
Kermit legs were deep fat fried with just a hint of dill

Giant eagle hot wings, courtesy of Sam,
It turns out with a little salt that Gonzo tastes like Spam
Then for a palate cleanser he made Sweetums into juice
And finally dessert of course, his favorite... chocolate mousse

Chorus

Bridge:
The few remaining in the shadows
With terror in their eyes
Prayed to long forgotten gods
That a savior would arise!

That Culinary criminal, he needed to be stopped
Before more fur and latex foam or ping pong balls got chopped
An antidote from Bunsen for his helper to deploy
A pill and toy peashooter with a rubber duck decoy
Beaker in a panic sucked the pill into his tummy
The chef devoured Beaker raw, thinking he'd be yummy
Instantly the chaos ceased, The swedish chef was cured
And so the reputation ...of the Muppet Labs endured

Chorus
