Mal E at Ephemeral - male has blogged today about that most renowned bog in a can - Piero Manzoni's Merda d' artista aka Artist's Shit

There's one coming up for sale. The production verb that Christies use in their Lot Description is 'executed'. Executed in 1961, this work is number twelve from an edition of ninety. Perhaps Manzoni merded them into being! ("Macbeth doth murrrrder sleep.") 

Yes, it's a classic. Like that other classic, Surfin Bird by The Trashmen, two years later in 1963.

But today, let's all sing instead this favorite version of the naughty schoolboy :

A-well-a everybody's heard about the merde
M-m-m-merde, merde, merde, m-merde's the word
A-well-a
merde, merde, merde, the merde is the word 

A-well-a merde, merde, merde, well the merde is the word 
A-well-a merde, merde, merde, m-merde's the word 
A-well-a merde, merde, merde, well the merde is the word
A-well-a merde, merde, m-merde's the word
A-well-a merde, merde, merde, m-merde's the word
A-well-a merde, merde, merde, well the merde is the word
A-well-a merde, merde, m-merde's the word
A-well-a don't you know about the merde?
Well, everybody knows that the merde is the word!
A-well-a merde, merde, m-merde's the word
A-well-a...

bLOGOS/HA HA junior staff are fartoo easily amused by such things. Words about murdes and terds and stuff

No wonder they guffaw at this old French postcard.
