Y’all probably have no idea about this one but the song is called ‘Where’s me Jumper’ by the Sultans of Ping F.C. - an Irish band in the early 90’s.
It has such great lyrics as:
‘My brother knows Karl Marx
He met him eating mushrooms in the People’s Park’
From here it gets more strange - get from Napster if you can
Does anybody know the artist for this one:
Well, I’m tired of rock-and-rollin’
Let’s get married baby, let’s go bowlin’
Throw away our weed and acid
Spend the weekend in Lake Placid
Well, it’s hard for me to say I’m not deranged,
How’s about you and me gettin’ normal for a change?
Ahhh…the Beat Farmers. Another good song by them is “California Kid”. The lyrics to the bridge go" She untied my boots, she untied my jeans, she untied my tube that I tied in my teens"
Excitable Boy by Warren Zevon “Well he rubbed the pot roast on his chest”
Anything by the meat Puppets.

‘i can’t think of anything to say’
I may be wrong but I think the line is:
“I can’t think of any more to say”
I just saw Roger Waters. What a great show. We were sitting around some REALLY generous people. The entire second half of the show was in a foreign language. I’m not even sure if it was an Earth language.
I should add an honorable mention type vote for Flanders and Swann, the British funny song composers of the '50s, because a friend of mine is a big fan of theirs.
(I don’t find them laugh out loud funny…but they are witty and clever.)
I’m thinking this is the guy Wolfman is talking about, although I’m not sure if this spelling is right either.
One of his I remember hearing is “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,” but I don’t remember any words to that.
Another is “The Vatican Rag.” Some of the words I remember to that are:
"First you get down on your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head in great respect and
Genuflect, genuflect genuflect."
“Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road” by I-don’t-know-who deserves a mention.
And then there’s one that I can’t remember the title, but some of the words are:
“Ya done stomped on my heart,
And ya mashed that sucker flat.
You just sorta
Stomped on my aorta.”
Also don’t know who wrote that.
I’m glad to hear Tom Lehrer mentioned. His song “Alma” was dedicated to a real woman who died in 1965, Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel. As he said, “who had, in her lifetime, managed to collect as lovers most of the top creative men in Cental Europe” (Gustav Mahler, Walter Gropius, and Franz Werfel were the ones she went so far as to marry.)
He said her obituary was the juiciest, spiciest, most racy obituary it had ever been his pleasure to read.
Any Michiganders out there? Who knows “The Second Week of Deer Camp”, by the Yoopers?
Also by Tom Lehrer “Smut”
Smut,
give me smut and nothing but,
a dirty novel I can’t shut,
if it’s uncut,
and unsubtle…(and so on)

Many country songs
I am going to see Weird Al on Sept. 2nd!!! I can’t wait. I missed him the first time he was here but not this time. I think I will have to pawn one of the kids to get the tickets, but I am going.
If anyone can help me figure out where I can get the song or who wrote this one I would thankful. I think it is called you have 254 messages. I heard it two weeks ago on the good Doctors show and haven’t been able to get the station in since. Going to the web site didn’t help much because it won’t let you into 2000.
Any Elvis fans?
There is this guy in Sweden called Eilert Pilarm who is truly, truly, truly awful. He bills himself as an “Elvis interpreter.” What he really is is stark raving loony.
Go here for downloading an mp3 of his “Jailhouse Rock” legally. (just a sample for free, or the whole song for a buck).
“Lit-tle Yoeie blowin slide trrombone”
ducks
or just download it from me in Napster.
I’ve got a loverly bunch of coconuts,
There they are standing in a row…
Louden Wainwright III. He also did a few MASH episodes.
Thanks for the link...he *is* goofy.
(And the band plays faster than he can sing!)Alas, no remark about The Tubes.
White Punk’s on Dope…or a personal favorite
Don’t Touch Me There.
And of course… Frank Zappa
