**Gilligan** ’s entry is from _El Expecto_ by PDQ Bach.

Here’s mine.

_Now in my hour of darkness  
There’s a sound i know will comfort me,  
It’s the buh buh buh buh buh of letter B_

[tongue in cheek]  
No one will get this! No one! Bwahahahahah!  
[/tonque in cheek]

BTW, just to put an end to these diverging lyrics-lines, the entry by \*_Robot Arm_ is from _Cheerleaders On Drugs_ by Uncle Bonsai.

Whlie we’re on that topic… I don’t think it’s a good idea to post one’s parody entry unless one is _certain_ that they answered the previous one correctly. It can lead to divergence and confusion.

Isn’t that “Letter B” from Sesame Street? I vaguely remember it from my childhood …

Well, if you can confirm that, and if you can identify the performing artist(s), then you get to make the next challenge. (Them’s the rules, as per the OP.)

Well, according to [http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/lorddave/lyrics.html](http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/lorddave/lyrics.html) it is indeed Letter B, but I can’t remember for the life of me who sang it … Ernie? Bert? I _think_ it was Ernie, but almost EVERY SINGLE Sesame Street lyrics site is down at the moment … _grumble grumble_
