Says Roger Ebert in his review of Avatar: "[James] Cameron and his artists succeed at the difficult challenge of making Neytiri a blue-skinned giantess with golden eyes and a long, supple tail, and yet--I'll be damned. Sexy."
Roger, Roger.
Here, then, is a parody of the 1925 hit "Has Anybody Seen My Gal?" [aka "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue"], inspired both by Neytiri and by Allan Sherman's 1963 parody, "Eight Foot Two, Solid Blue." You can listen to it 162 times in the same amount of time it takes to see Avatar once. Go ahead - try it.

And once again I hear a song that Spaff wrote and find myself saying "Why didn't I think of that?!"

Re: Roger Ebert Years ago, I used to have a theory that Ebert and Roeper only gave "thumbs up" to films that gave them a boner. Ebert's review finally proves it. Funny stuff, Spaff/Lund. I like a nice short parody.

BTW, the title also reminds me of the Tom Smith classic Smurf anthology that included "Smurfer Girl": "Little girl, all solid blue, "Five foot four less five foot two"
