    Default Boots Up - Appalachian Trail Rap by Clever Girl, feat. Whistle Ralph

    <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; color: rgb(55, 64, 78); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">

    I spent 3 days rewriting Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us" into a rap about the Appalachian Trail.
    I spent 2 days learning how to actually rap.
    I spent 1 day mixing all the audio.
    I spent 3 hours making construction paper puppets.
    I spent 1 hour talking it up to Dumptruck, Whistle and Loch Ness (other thru-hikers) to convince them to make a video with me.
    I spent 30 seconds coercing Whistle into singing the chorus.

    We spent an evening making a video. Mostly we laughed a lot.

    Pretty good. Did you do a bit in the talent show, you look familiar.

    Please, please print the words. . . I can't "listen as fast as you sing" either. I loved the song, but missed some of it. I think this could go viral!

    Hey Clever Girl and Whistle. I have no idea what you guys are saying, but I'm sure it's very cool. Thanks for keeping GA-ME 13 alive!

    You're not supposed to understand it. Kinda like when we used to listen to Black Sabbath at 100% volume and our parents used to say I can't see how you listen to that crap, you can't understand a word they're saying.

    You're right. We thought we understood it, or pretended to. It was all the better if it pissed our parents off.

    Great stuff, going to have to download it for posterity. Love the stuff going on in the background. Better than the original song, actually...
