Be Obsequious, Purple, and Clairvoyant

Posted on

I read the word “ubiquity” in a presentation today and immediately “be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant” popped into my mind. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, its a line from The Grandmother’s Song by Steve Martin. I love it – it starts off quite simple and then gets progressively weirder and funnier each stanza – but its best hearing it for yourself. It’s on his “Let’s Get Small” album which is terribly funny from start to finish. Try not to laugh when listening to it. I dare you.
