Another one rides the bus by Weird Al Yankovic,

that brings back memories. Anyone hear his Amish Paradise parody

of Gangsta Paradise?

Amish Paradise, yes! Off the Running With Scissors disc.

He did another album about 3 years ago called Poodle Hat - One

of the original works on this album is an absolutely stellar cutup on

Frank Zappa's compositional style called "Genius In France" -

definitely worth the price of admission for any fan of Al or Frank!

And don't even get me started on Frank - woops, too late....

Friend of mine actually paid me for some mastering work with 5 Zappa LP's - Hot Rats, Just Another Band from LA, Zappa w/ the London Symphony Orchestra, Sleep Dirt, and Tinseltown Rebellion

That's what I call some cool-*** trade-out work...

there's so many..there was "Junk Food Junkie" by Henry Gross, .

It's Larry Groce. We went to the same school, and I got to run sound for him a few times. A real nice guy, and extremely talented - much more than a novelty artist. Last I heard, he was hosting "Mountain Stage" on NPR.

That said, I like his "Bumper Sticker Song."

Freddie Blassie was the wrestler that used to pound on 'Latka' (Andy Kaufman) from Taxi.

"Andy's stint as a wrestler even got him smacked down on television by a male professional wrestler. Andy received real injuries from the encounter and for weeks afterward was seen wearing a white neck brace."

- the same Fred Blassie - REM's song 'Man in the Moon' and the fair to middlin' Jim Carrey movie of the same name (very few fair to middlin' Jim Carrey movies out there)

Pencil Neck Geek

Freddie Blassie

Back when I was a kid, life was going swell.

Till something happened, blew every thing to hell.

That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak,

Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek."

Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck."

Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck.

And if there's one thing lower than a side show freak,

It's a grit eatin', scum suckin', pencil neck geek."

You see if you take a pencil that won't hold lead,

Looks like a pipe cleaner atached to a head,

Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks,

You got yourself a grit eatin', pencil neck geek.

(chorus)

Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak,

scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique.

He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak.

Nothin' but a pencil neck geek.

Soon the geeks were poppin' up all over town.

You couldn't hardly sneeze without knockin' one down.

After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick,

Just reach for a geek, they'll do the trick.

One day we cut one up for fish bait.

Learned our lesson just a little bit late.

Soon as the geek hit the drink, the water turned red.

Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead.

chorus

Most any night you know where I can be found.

Yeah, stomping some geek's head into the ground.

So keep the faith 'cause in Blassie you can trust,

I won't give up 'til the last geek bites the dust.

chorus

They say, "these geeks come a dime a dozen."

I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplin' the dimes.

Its gonna be real hard times for all of these

grit eatin',

scum suckin',

boot lickin',

drop kickin',

gut grindin',

nail bitin',

glue sniffin',

scab pickin',

butt scratchin',

egg hatchin',

sleezy,

smelly,

pepper bellied,

dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks.

Nothing but a pencil neck geek.
