Oh Yeah!

About my clue... From reading The Storyteller's Daughter and The Hero with A Thousand Faces, I've gained an interest in reading myths, and, especially with the recent events in the Middle East, I'd like to read the 1001 Arabian Nights, Shahrazad's tales of fantasy and fortune, which she told to be spared by her captives for, apparently, 1001 nights. That and I watched Aladdin's two sequels last weekend, and so now I'm off to download that song.

Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear
If they don't like your face
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

When the wind's from the east
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down
Stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night

Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways

Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard
Could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes
*Sighs.* I wouldn't last an hour in their world. But it IS fun to read about it.
