Why there are SO MANY songs about librarians

Having asked in my earlier post Why are there no songs about librarians?  I decided to raise the issue on Twitter, expecting little response.  Instead it sparked a pun-fest with over 300 ideas (and counting), my favourites of which I share here for your delectation.  If you're thinking of dabbling in Twitter I can personally recommend everyone listed  here - and more!

After this I will stopping blogging about libraries for a bit!

  5. I've jumped on a few bandwagons, but never successfully started one. I don't think you can contrive that kind of thing. I would end up trying too hard, like... oh, I don't know.... #cloudsongs - Cumulus Together.
    Nah, lame!
