Today is National Noodle Day. Noodles are shapes, usually long, made out of flour that you dry out. Then you make it taste great by boiling them until they are soft again. I've talked about bowtie pasta on the site before, but my actual favorite pasta shape is the humble penne, its name meaning "feather quill". I like my penne pasta with a mushroom and onion red sauce, and some sort of ground beef or meatball.
I also remembered a song, Happy Noodle vs. Sad Noodle by the late, great, Logan Whitehurst. There's a good fan video for the song from animator Ryan Krzak. Noodle is also the name of Gorillaz's guitarist and that's a good band too. I'm trying to see if I can think of any other songs or musicians about noodles. Oh wait, that song from Pappara The Rapper 2, Mouse loves that series. I just think that dog has a cool hat.
[EDITOR’S NOTE: I’m keeping your spelling of Parappa because it makes me smile. Parappa 2’s whole plot is noodle-centric, actually. However, I cannot think about any of the songs from that game now, because my mind is flooded with Happy Noodle vs Sad Noodle. That there is a serious ear worm, and I’m not even mad.]
