Don't go running to Gordon Lightfoot's Did She Mention My Name? anytime soon. You will end up laughing hysterically and not running very far. Songs like "The Last Time I Saw Her" and "May I" will cut any run short due to gasping for air between chortles. "May I" is a children's carnival of a ride with ridiculous lyrics explaining rules of a game that entail: "Finders keepers losers weepers, ring-a-round-the-rosey and catch you if I can" (sure you may write a great scene for Pistol Party while listening to it, but that does nothing for a run). I didn't make it far enough to listen to songs like "Pussywillows, Cat-tails" or "Something Very Special" featured on side two, but I can only imagine that they will provide the same. So I repeat: DO NOT RUN TO GORDON LIGHTFOOT'S DID SHE MENTION MY NAME? WHILE RUNNING.
Here's "May I" by Gordon Lightfoot-A final warning, DO NOT RUN TO THIS ALBUM (unless you like side stitches and hyperventilating):
