With lots of colds, flu, allergies, and hacking making the rounds, Teri Dashfield, who has Images by Dashfield, inspired the Average White Boys to collaborate with another obscure virtual group of allergy-infested hackers known as Violent Phlegm to form a new virtual music group called Coughing Cooties. I am happy to release the Coughing Cooties’ first single, Lovelorn Wasp.
Off Center & Not Even 
The Average White Boys never cease to amaze with their creativity.
Hi Susan. The AWB like to have fun.
Enjoyed the song, Tim! That’s a great photo, too!
Thanks, Lavinia!
It’s a fabulous pic.
Thanks, Rupali!
How fun, Tim! The Coughing Cooties did a super job with “Lovelorn Wasp”. Fantastic photo too!
Thanks, Mia. They had fun making it. I put the wasp out side so it could find a real lover after I photographed it.
You’re welcome, Tim! I’m sure the wasp was grateful.
The wasps fly in through the kitty door, and I put them back outside. I know they like being put back outside. As far as whether they appreciate or not I can’t honestly say. However, since they fly away without stinging me, I believe I can assume that’s a bit of wasp appreciation.
I like it, “wasp appreciation”.
The photo just blows me away.
Thanks, Cindy.
THIS just made my coughing morning! ♥
Still hacking around? Thanks, Teri!
Yeah but not as much or as violently…. unless something makes me laugh 😉
The “laugh ‘n hack” stage. Know it well.
Ain’t life grand!
The AWB always make my day! The adventure/collaboration with Coughing Cooties is a hit. Looking forward to hear more new songs…
Thanks, Herman. The AWB and Violent Phlegm are collaborating on a song. It might debut this week.
Wonderful!
Thanks, Tiffany.
That’s terrific, Tim. This is probably the only time you’ll ever see me put a “like” on anything to do with a wasp. LOL. Hugs.
Thanks, Teagan. The wasp and I appreciate it.
Very interesting song. Lol! For some reason… I am reminded of Frank Zappa’s songs prior to Hot Rats.
I don’t know much about AWB
You know AWB. It’s my virtual group “Average White Boys” (I have three virtual groups now). They do all the parodies and most of the other music I’ve posted. AWB did Freaking on the Food Chain.
Ohhhhhh! I was thinking of Average White Band.. Now, I’m picking up the pieces.
Well, I love the Zappa-esque lyrics, and now the entire virtual project. Love that Freaking on the Food Chain!
The Average White Boys is a play on the Average White Band. Do you know who Dave Barry is? He’s a humorist who had a weekly column I used to read regularly. He would come up with clever ways of describing something, and then say “that would be a good name for a rock band”. Every since then, I’ve notice when names of things, sayings, or differently worded phrases will make good names for rock bands or titles for songs. Now that I’m playing again I can be the virtual bands and write the songs like “Freaking on the Food Chain”.
Very cool … you have a lot of good virtual band names going on!
No, I don’t know who Dave Barry is, but he has seemingly inspired you! 😀 😀
I love that you can write about anything. LOL I really can’t stand wasps you made us see them in a different light for sure! Excellent job
Thanks, Michelle. We have a leave each other alone relationship as much as possible with the wasps.
Well yes I’ve had some issues with them around my home so there is no love lost for sure 😂
