We are crowdfunding to make an 'I Like Flowers' music video!
The video will provide a free messaging tool for several amazing Bay Area conservation organizations, and will be filmed by Berkeley High students. Check out the campaign for more details.

[morphs into a scream, into the verse, sung:] Everyone’s got a thang A thang that makes ‘em hot My thang’s bright and beautiful And it grows out of a pot I like flowers Should I say it again? I like flowers Buttercup fires me up Clover knocks me over And when my day’s been a disaster I get right with the family Aster I like flowers I ain’t afraid to sing it out I like flowers Cali poppies make me shout Elderflower gives me power Manzanita’s sweet-ah Just send some rose straight up my nose For an olfactory treat-ah I like flowers I like to smell ‘em, and eat ‘em too I like flowers I like to cut ‘em, and give ‘em to you So I toil in the soil And I flirt with the dirt Yeah, I’m the man with a watering can And my plan is to stand with the bountiful land I like-- —what do we like? WE LIKE FLOWERS And all the birds and the bees and the butterflies say: Pollination all across the nation Sage is all the rage Baby blue eyes wins the prize ‘Cause there ain’t no finer thing Than a garden in the spring I like flowers Everybody sing it loud I like flowers Sing it out if the birds and the bees and the butterflies make you proud Sing it out Say it loud: WE LIKE FLOWERS I like flowers |
