Moustache Monday: Natural Talent
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
The sheet music for the verbosely titled “We Men Must Grow a Mustache: That’s One Thing the Girls Can’t Do!” which, one must assume, is a call to arms to curb the influx of faux follicular facial adornment that some females are fond of, a call that only the tinny twang of a ukulele can properly convey.
The denizens at Wikipedia seem to feel that it is representative of humor aimed at the general acceptance of homosexuality during the 1920s. Certainly the illustration plainly shows a homosexual, who are known for both their razor-sharp sideburns and for having the ability to bend their spines at painful and awkward right angles, a trait that scientists believe was developed so that they could reach the leaves on the uppermost branches of trees. Truly astounding creatures.
Sheet music for the song “We Men Must Grow A Mustache.” [Wikipedia] : Thanks, Anders!

I always thought that people should be more dwarves. The men should all have mustaches and the women should have fake ones. Courtship should be an incredibly tactful affair, primarily concerned with finding out which gender the other person is. Despite the awkwardness that comes of this, it should be traditionally considered rude to discuss females in conversation.

that’s not actually a link to the sheet music for the song, that’s just a link to the cover sheet. if it were a link to the sheet music it would be covered with dots and lines, and a person with a ukelele or something like that would actually be able to play it, even if they didn’t know the song to begin with.

Not just the sideburns and spine, but also the red bow lips.

Gender Panic! Rise of the New Woman! This is not pro-homosexual. Get with it Wikipedia!

My Aunt Rose has a pretty substantial moo-stache. And a unibrow. It’s unfortunate.
