Here's a #StupidAccordionTrick I had in the can for a rainy day, a comedic musical retelling of the story of #KingMidas and his Golden Touch. youtube.com/watch?v=T2D4d_3DFb

Circling back around to pop music for this week's #StupidAccordionTrick, here's the Korean drinking game #BrunoMars turned into a pop banger with Rosé, #APT, in Tom Waits reggae style.

Wrapping foolish April with my most foolish #stupidaccordiontrick of the month - possibly of the entire year! - from 1966, here's #FrankZappa's #CallAnyVegetable!

Here we are, we saved the biggest April Fool's #StupidAccordionTrick for the end of the month. I know, you're thinking "What's so funny about Cyndi Lauper?" but you'd be surprised.

Happy #Easter! For today's #StupidAccordionTrick, here's the wacky and sacreligious 1957 tune #PlasticJesus.

For this week's #StupidAccordionTrick in my April of foolishly humorous songs I have visited #BrookeAbbey 's disaster dirge #TheWreckOfTheCrashOfTheEasthillMineDisaster, an incredible song that took the filk world by storm around twenty years ago.

No, I haven't had a stroke. Today's #StupidAccordionTrick for #AprilFools is my take on #PhilosophyOfTheWorld by inadvertent outsider art legends #TheShaggs. Stay tuned for further stupidity in April, where I aim to be foolish all month long!

This week's #StupidAccordionTrick is a solid tune from an album that earned its place living in our car's CD player for three years without ever getting removed, #TimesATicker from #AmeliaCurran's 2008 #WarBrides.

Now on the dark side of the Valentine's wavelength, here's my improbable #StupidAccordionTrick of #ShawnHook's #RemindingMe.

Valentine's Day is coming up while the world burns down, so unfortunately here's a #StupidAccordionTrick for the Stupidest Timeline: #BruceCockburn's 1984 #LoversInADangerousTime.

This song was written by Shel Silverstein and initially recorded in the early '70s with his cadre in Dr. Hook' s band, but it never really found its stride until #MarianneFaithfull covered it in her 1979 comeback album #BrokenEnglish... so in her memory, here's #theBalladOfLucyJordan for this week's #StupidAccordionTrick.

For something a little wintry, by which I mean bleak and despairing, for this week's #StupidAccordionTrick I returned to one of my earliest covers, of #CarterBurwell's memorable theme to 1996's #Fargo -- itself an arrangement of a traditional Norwegian fiddle tune, The Lost Lamb.

It's always difficult for me to choose Christmas repertoire... My standard objections are that the songs are either too religious or too secular, which is a net that nothing escapes from. Well, here's this week's #StupidAccordionTrick, #JacksonBrowne's #RebelJesus, which might just have found a way to be both problematic flavours simultaneously.

In the land of mass shootings, it takes an extraordinary scenario to yield anything more than the shrugs of thoughts and prayers, but the popular imagination o0n both sides of the political spectrum was seemingly set alight, yielding at least two viral spontaneous folk songs, by Joe Devito and Mipso, chronicling the tale of this unexpected folk hero for our times. Striking while the iron is hot, I have medleyed them together for this week's #StupidAccordionTrick.

Ok, enough moping... time to show the forces of dismay that I mean business. This week's #StupidAccordionTrick is #Muse's 2009 anthem #Uprising.

I was always a little nervous about them, but after the big mandate for the worst form of Trumpism I've crossed over to where #DavidBowie was and can now join him in this week's #StupidAccordionTrick in proclaiming that #ImAfraidOfAmericans.

One heck of a #StupidAccordionTrick, here I climb into the ring with #AlanMencken's #MeanGreenMotherFromOuterSpace, from the 1986 #LittleShopOfHorrors movie musical. (And I, too, am bad.)

Previously recorded for private consumption, but ... why not share it with the world? This week's #StupidAccordionTrick is #SarahMaddack's 2023 ode to those wholesome and versatile garments, #Overalls.
