One of my favorite comedians, Demetri Martin does some of the coolest and most random stuff that you just can't help but laugh at! This track, off his CD 'These Are Jokes' is a heartwarming story either told by his actual grandmother or by him doing a funny grandmother voice (I'm not sure which, it's very unclear because he is known to bring her on his show sometimes) about a little boy named Johnny who shrinks! It's very matter of fact and there's no punch-line per say, but this song (or spoken grandmotherly words with slight instrumentation behind) is just fantastic!
The deliver of Demetri's Grandma/Demetri pretending to be his Grandma is spot on! Little gems of this track like her/him saying, "His name was a-Johnny!", or when Johnny says, "I'm Johnny! Don't do it!", just crack me up! If you haven't watched 'Important Things With Demetri Martin', you really need to! Each episode he focuses on a different important thing...like chairs! Some random user on YouTube has made a splendid little animation with marker drawings of all of Johnny's adventures "no drinking milk, no eating meat" and it's beautiful and simple! I hope you all enjoy this, but totally understand if a lot of you are like, "Hmmm...Miles, this is NOT funny. You've got a weird sense of humor." Enjoy this story of Johnny! :)
