jep might recognize this take on the Toredors' song:
The Pizzarea is Houghton's feeding post,
I dig it the most, I dig it the most
Pizzas with that fine Italian touch,
It's all to much, all to much
The Pizzarea's food is oh so great
dial 482-5228.

Does anyone know the words to the Kermit/Muppet song "Rubber Ducky"?
It's something like this:
Rubber ducky, you're the one
Who makes bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you!
Rubber ducky, you're so fine
I'm so lucky that you're mine,
<rest of song lost to distant memory; I heard it when I was about 10,
and not since.>
I was thinking that teflon's verses were a little crude for a baby...
but I believe (and hope) he doesn't distinguish such things yet. I've
sung him songs with elements of crudity before. So, teflon, thanks for
another song, and for the idea of bath songs. Now I realize I need more
bath songs.

I found the lyrics to "Rubber Duckie" on the WWW. I sure forgot a lot
of it...
Rubber Duckie
Rubber Duckie, you're the one!
You make bathtime lots of fun.
Rubber Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you;
(woh woh, bee doh!)
Rubber Duckie, joy of joys,
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Duckie, you're my very best friend, it's true!
(doo doo doo doooo, doo doo)
CHORUS
Every day when I
Make my to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby
(rub-a-dub-a-dubby!)
Rubber Duckie, you're so fine,
And I'm lucky that you're mine.
Rubber duckie, I'm awfully fond of you.
(repeat chorus)
Rubber Duckie, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber duckie, I'm awfully fond of -
Rubber duckie, I'd like a whole pond of -
Rubber duckie, I'm awfully fond of you!
(doo doo, be doo.)

Muppet songs! Why didn't I think of that! I could go one for weeks! (I
probably shouldn't though. Somebody let me know if they want any, tho'. Name
a muppet song, and I'll know the lyrics. Another one of my useless tallents!)

how 'bout that "halfway down the stairs" song that robin (kermit's
nephew) sings? all i can remember is:
halfway down the stairs is a stair where i sit.
there isn't any other stair quite like it.
it's not at the bottom, it's not at the top
so this is the stair where i always stop.

I seem to recall 'halfway down the stairs' being originally from someplace
other than the muppets...or maybe I'm delusional.

Get on your search engine.
Searth for 'dr. demento' including quotes.
Choose Jeff Morris's unofficial Dr. Demento Webpages
Within his collection, is a sub-page of a list of lyrics
collected over the years by dementoids & dementites. Some should
be fun to download.

Shoot. You'll have to give me a couple minutes on the stairs one. I know I
have it, somewhere. It's just not one of the ones I have memorized off the
top of my head. (Shoot. Why do people always start with hard ones?) I know
I can find it though. My room looks like a Muppet Museum that was hit by a
tornado, tho', so it might take a bit. I'll get back to you at some point.
<snowth goes off to search the black hole for yet another piece of Muppet
trivia...>

with 132: like the one below
"We Are the Worms" by Johnson and Tofte
(parody of "We Are The World" by USA For Africa)
--Unreleased--
There comes a time
When the rain begins to fall
And the worms come out of the ground.
There are people walking
Oh, it's time to watch your step
Or your feet will make a squishy sound.
We are the worms
Out on the sidewalk.
We are the ones who make a squishy mess
So watch where you walk.
It's a chance we're taking
Leaving out homes underground
Though it's true we'll get a better tan,
Just you and me.
When we're laying 'round
Keep your eye out on the street.
If you don't look out,
You'll have worms under your feet.
We realize
Oh, that the sun is gonna come
And we'll shrivel up like beef jerky from the heat.
We are the worms
Out on the pavement.
And when we hear a squish, we look around
To see where cousin Dave went.
It's a stance we're taking
'Cause worms are people too
And we sure don't want a better look
At your big shoe.
We are the worms
Out on the sidewalk.
We are the ones who make a squishy mess
So watch where you walk.
It's a chance we're taking
Leaving out homes underground
Though it's true we'll get a better tan,
Just you and me.
Oh, come on now, let me hear you.
We are the worms
Out on the pavement.
And when we hear a squish, we look around
To see where cousin Dave went.
It's a stance we're taking
'Cause worms are people too
And we sure don't want a better look
At your big shoe.

<ROTFL> As a cousin Dave, myself, I can completely empathize with the worms,
Tim. Wonderful song!! Who are Johnson and Tofte, and do they have any other
tunes?

Not real sure, think they are a morning radio team.
And yes, Quincy Jones was a bit peeved at hearing the parody.

re: #129, 131-- I do believe it is a Shel Silverstein poem.

I thought the ending was:
It's not at the bottom,
It's not at the top,
So this is the place
Where I always stop.

Valerie, you're right! Thanks! I can even remember the picture that went
with it-- who was that famous illustrator who drew pictures of A.A. Milne's
actual son with 'Edward Bear'? (Christopher Robin is based on Milne's son
and the characters were his cuddly toys.)

BTW, wasn't there a Canadian soft rock group named "Edward Bear?"

RE #141 I believe that the group Edward Bear's biggest hit was "The Last
Song," released in 1972.
