What songs do you think grues might sing around a campfire, if they ever made campfires and felt like singing? How about:

* Please, no jokes about what kind of railroad.

1. A grue would never light a fire, or stick around if someone else did.

2. Grues don't sing, they gurgle.

3. Isn't it a little early in the day for you to be drinking?

4. How about "Grue Moon"?

1. No problem. All they need is a source of intense, flickering DARK.

2. Ditto. Gurgling songs is okay by me.

3. Isn't it a little early in the day for you to be assuming that I didn't get this idea last night?

4. Yaaaaaaaaaay! I guess grues love a new moon because the night is darker.

Silly Stu! How could a Grue even get near a campfire? Too bright! Maybe they could have a '60s psychedelic party instead… with black lights!
