Thank you, Dr. Demento

Lines from goofy songs that my dad likes to sing, going back to when I was toddler:

I was walking down the street
when something caught my eye
and dragged it fifteen feet.

I like go swimmin'
with bow-legged women
and swim between their legs...

Fish heads, fish heads,
roly poly fish heads
fish heads, fish heads
eat them up, Yum!

It's your birthday
happy birthday
people dying,
children crying,
on your birthday.
Happy birthday.

Boot to the head! (nya nya)

b-b-b-b-bird bird bird
Bird is the word

Yeah, my dad was a huge fan of Dr. Demento. We used to have a whole bunch of stuff from his show on tape and play it on long road trips. There are entire bits I used to have memorized. Most of them from various "Boot to the head" bits: "And another one for Jenny and the wimp!"

"You must learn patience, my son."
"Yeah, yeah; how long'll that take?"

Dr. Demento graduated from Reed. With a degree in Baroque music.

SH-aving cream!
Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and
You'll always look keen.

Happy birthday
Happy birthday
may the candles on your cake
burn like cities in your wake
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

One day while I was walking, a dark and dreary day, I came upon a billboard and much to my dismay. The sign was torn and tattered by the storm the night before, the wind and rain had done it's work and this is what I saw:

Smoke coca cola cigarettes, chew Rigly Spearmint beer, Kennel Ration dog food keeps your complexion clear, simonize your baby with a Hershy's candy bar, and Texicola beauty queens will ?? like all the stars. So take your next vacation in a brand new Frigidaire, learn to play piano in your winter underwear, doctor's say that babies should smoke until they're three, and people over sixty five should bathe in Lipton Tea. Hay!

Oh Tom the toad, oh Tom the toad, why did you jump into the road?
Oh Tom the toad, oh Tom the toad, why did you jump into the road?
You used to be so green and fat,
and now you are so red and flat,
Oh Tom the toad, oh Tom the toad, why did you jump into the road?

Clean underwear, clean underwear, we must put on clean underwear. Clean underwear, clean underwear, we must put on clean underwear. We used to change it every day, but how it's hard and stiff like clay, Clean underwear, clean underwear, we must put on clean underwear.


---- I'm sure I have more - these are just the ones that come immediately to mind, and I can't remember that one bloody word - I'll remember at 3am... it could be move, or look, or some other verb. Weird Al has a degree in architecture (I don't remember from where).

I think from one of the Universities of California.

I remembered!

The words are "and Texicola beauty cream is used by all the stars." Yes, I know I'm rediculous.
