Fishing for Pisces:
Astrology Songs by Harvey Sid Fisher
April 30, 1998
"Son, if you believe in something," my father once
told me, "put your entire heart into it."I try to follow his advice every day.
"Also," he continued, "write songs about your beliefs and hire women to dance for you while you sing."
This part of my father's advice I did not heed.
But Harvey Sid Fisher did.
Mr. Fisher performed long hours of research into astrology and the signs of the Zodiac, then let his creative juices flow to write the Astrology Songs. Each sign of the Zodiac is explained in song. For example, the following video clip, presented for educational purposes only, describes Leo (the Lion). According to astrological belief, Leo is said to be "proud, gregarious, dramatic, dignified, and desires self expression." With the possible exception of "dignified", this song and dance routine expresses these qualities quite well.
LeoSnippets of the Astrology Songs were frequently used as filler before commercial breaks in Comedy Central's The Daily Show, a comedy news program. If you want your own copy of the video, you can order from Harvey Sid Fisher's web site: harveysidfisher.com
Update
In May of 1999, Harvey Sid sent the following message:
