Once, while glancing at a Bert Kaempfert CD's track listing without my glasses, I thought I'd seen a song called "Sawdust." I started laughing. "I can't have seen that right," I thought. "What kind of an easy listening tune is called 'Sawdust?' That might make sense for a whimsical percussion piece, but otherwise..."
On second glance, I saw it was actually a cover of the Hoagy Carmichael song, "Stardust," which made more sense.
Thinking of the tune, "Skylark," shortly after that amused me even more, as I imagined the word, "Sawdust," in place of "Skylark" each time it was sung.
While people might still consult skylarks for their wisdom occasionally, I don't imagine they seek the counsel of sawdust.
