“My name is Zoom, and I live on the moon, but I came down to Earth just to sing you this tune. Hey, Katie, it’s your birthday today!”

That verbatim from a personalized birthday record my parents bought me when I was about 5 years old. Even more odd, are the overwhelming [Google results](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22my+name+is+zoom+and+I+live+on+the+moon%22) that I just pulled up, showing that I’m far from being alone with this particular memory…

I had a dog named Spot, Got hit by a car  
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba  
Put his guts in a box and put 'em in a drawer  
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba  
I forgot all about it for a month and an half  
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba  
I opened the drawer and I started to laugh  
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba  
Cause I’m a happy boy!  
Happy boy!  
I’m a happy boy  
Happy boy!  
Hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba

I’m looking over  
My dead dog Rover  
Lying on the kitchen floor.  
One leg is broken  
Another is lame  
The third was run over  
Bya choo-choo train.  
There’s no use explaining  
The one remaining  
Was caught in the kitchen door,  
I’m looking over  
My dead dog Rover  
Lying on the kitchen flooooooor.

I’m old Bill Jones.  
Had two daughters and a song.  
One went to college,  
The other went wrong.  
Wife got killed  
in a free-for-all fight,  
I just keep singin’  
From morning to night.

I’m a very good shot. I practice every day. Well, not absolutely every day … but most days in the week. I expect I must practice, oh, … at least four or five times a week, or more really. But sometimes, I miss weekends. Like last weekend, there wasn’t really time …

I’m not talkin’ 'bout molybdenum…

No, it’s “I’m not talkin’ 'bout Bolivians”…

I believe it’s “I’m not talkin’ 'bout Meridian.”
