It just seems like an updated 'My Little Grass Shack'. In that vein, it fits in with Brian's references to other 20th century standards recorded for Smile i.e. I Wanna Be Around, Home On the Range, You Are My Sunshine. I don't think lily pads enter into the equation, although where BW is concerned anything is possible.

Did you know that "Little Pad" is a song on 1967's album Smiley Smile which is also the name of this site? That's weird! Brian must have been ahead of his time or something.

Yep.  And Paul was the Walrus, and Ferris Bueller was really a figment of Cameron's imagination (http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2012/06/why-ferris-bueller-never-existed/53196/). 

I'm pretty sure a digital tree somewhere just died when this thread was created.

But a digital lily pad somewhere just budded.

And "Cabin Essence" was a pun on the novel "Ape and essence" by Aldous Huxley.

In essence you are right, but the original working title of "Cabin Essence" was "Lily Pad Essence" and based on smoke signals wandering Raelians found under a rock in an underwater above ground cave in south-north Arizona in 1327.

"Sure would like to have a lily pad, in Hawaii"?

 Is this maybe part of the hitherto unknown Amphibian Suite?

Also included (on and off):
Love to Say Ribbit
You Do Like Worms (obviously)
George Fell Over His Horned Toad…

You mean "Cher would like to have a lily pad in Hawaii"?

Actually, Cher would like to believe in life after love. In Hawaii.


With lily pads.

"Sherwood (famous forest in Robinhood) lik (often used in Germanic languages both archaic and current to refer to corpses) two..."

Brian and the boys have found two corpses in Sherwood Forest.

"Have a lily pad in Hawaii."

Now they wish to escape. They have a lily pad where one can mourn in peace.

Cool! The Swedish word for corpse is lik. :)
