"shiver" - horny toad

"shiver - brrrrr - shiver - brrrrrr - shiver, shiver, shiver"


the only place i've ever heard this inconsequential ska-punk track is on some free compilation cd. i like it well enough, but it's not a great song in the scheme of things. yet it seem to crop up in my mind every time i shiver.

actually, it only happens when i'm shivering with cold not with any of the more significant forms of shiver - fear, illness, erotic tension, panic, caffeine tweaking, anxiety, resonance or random unknown reasons. i like all of these far better than coldness - not just because they come without this irritating little chorus filling my head, or even just because they are warmer, but because they are deeper. it's almost always good to feel.
