Album: Monotreme Wars (2007)
In this new album, veteran Aussie rappers the Platy Boyz (AKA DJ Duckbill and MC Spiny) don't fail to deliver, living up to the standards set by 1998's Hello Platy, 1999's Illin' With a Bill, and 1994's record-breaking Some Old Platypussary. In songs like "Fishin' for Wormz," the Boyz manage to capture, with their witty, always humorous style, the strange pathos, yet inarguable "illness" of the Ornithorynchus anatinus species. Well done, Boyz, yet again!!

Plat Nasty Git Down!
Monotreme Wars, track 3
Now, all around the world nothing like it can be found
One beak, four legs, knows how to get down!
Platypus, platypus, that's our proclivity
bring him back home and breed him in captivity
Not a bird, not a bat, not a two-humped camel
Duck-billed platypus: egg laying mammal
Pint-sized platypus, evolution credible
Electro-sensing platypus, finds bugs that are edible
Species: anatinus
Genus: Ornithorynchus
Order: Monotremata
Class: Mammalia
Phylum: Choradata
Kingdom: Animalia. Duck-billed platypus, found in Australia!
Now that platypus is a sassy little beast
Give him some worms and he'll have himself a feast
Not a fish, not a whale, not an African Giant Snail
Duck-billed platypus, hot on yer tail!
Platypus, platypus looks kinda funny
Not slimy like a newt or bouncy like a bunny
You say he's not an animal, yo, what ya bin smokin'?
He's a duck-billed platypus, we ain't jokin'.

Yo! Platygirl here. For more fun facts about all sorts of platypussary, check out the Wikipedia entry on "platypus". As always, very informative. You could also look up the Beastie Boys on Wiki, like Platygirl just did, and read all about their discography, then make up funny sounding album titles based on it.
Enjoy! And stay tuned for "Why I Love the Platypus: Reason #2," coming soon.
xo, Platygirl
