Kimchi

Kimchi (or kim chee) is, as Wikipedia informs us, a traditional fermented Korean dish made of vegetables with varied seasonings. There are hundreds of varieties of kimchi made with a main vegetable ingredient such as napa cabbage, radish, green onions, or cucumber.  It is the most common side dish in Korean cuisine.  I only include it in this song because singing about it amused me in the context of The Cat Food Song.  Before, I was taking crunchies and putting them in a bowl; now it's kimchi.  Perhaps the bowl itself is the metaphor.  Or the allusion.  Anyway, my booking agent for these types of gigs is a gentleman named Tony Kim.  He is, one could say, very enthusiastic about his role in these affairs.  So, to honor him specifically and Korea in general and this whole type of wedding scene in particular, I decided to write this song and make the video. (Go to the new YouTube Videos page to check it out.) Unfortunately, I could not obtain a photograph of the Tony Kim I actually know. To make up for that, I've included about 40 pictures of other Tony Kims that I do not know. Maybe it's just funny to me.  We'll find out soon enough.
