Toofer Toosday Episode 2: The National (Part 1)

"Mr. November" is the very last track on The National's 2005 spectacular album, Alligator. As is the case with so many of this band's songs, the meaning is a little ambiguous, but for some reason I get images of someone whose reminiscing about former high school football glory. Or perhaps using that as a way to look back on happier times.

If any of you are familiar with the original version you may have noticed a few curse words have been tastefully replaced here. Now it is safe for children and/or my mother.

Part 2 of The National's Toofer Toosday is coming soon! Don't touch that dial!
