I have wanted one of these for years ever since I worked out what the lyrics meant #SOMUCHWANT #TMBG #240VOLTRISTESSE

…but it has to be UK voltage and plug 🙁

As found on Pinterest with which I am experimenting.

Who watches over yooouuuu

He’s your only friend. He’s not your only friend. But he’s a little glowing friend. But really he’s not actually your friend. But he–nevermind, let’s not put too fine a point on it. He wants to be the only bee in your bonnet and that’s all that matters, right?

You’re probably wondering why it took 21 years for the world to finally make a blue canary nightlight. We’re not sure, but we suspect the sparrow that doesn’t tell you anything you want to know had something to do with it–or Triangle Man, who always seems to win.

Plug this little guy in an outlet by a light switch and the energy efficient, light-sensitive LED will glow cheerfully as light fades. You’ll never have to whistle in the dark again! Unless that’s the only one thing that you like, in which case you can leave the Blue Canary unplugged from the Outlet by the Light Switch.

ps: I did work it out from scratch; when I grew up we had a orange and white cow in the outlet at the top of the stairs.

    1. Hence the lighthouse metaphors throughout the song.
