STEVE MARTIN AND THE TOOT UNCOMMONS
King Tut
1978 Canada 7” single

A little whimsy and nostalgia to end my night before bed.

I remember watching an old re-run of SNL as a kid where Steve Martin was dressed in pharaoh garb performing this ridiculous song. I remember saying “What the hell was THAT?!?!”

The “uncommons” are actually members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and that SNL performance was where this was born; a completely ridiculous novelty song written about the Treasures Of Tutankhamun travelling exhibit that toured through American cities for three years (1976-1979).

Steve Martin is a fucking genius.

For some inscrutable reason this old video popped up in my YouTube recommendations and it's pretty great. Note it is a bit NSFW but no worse than the original #GangnamStyle video. It does have English subtitles if you turn closed captions on:

Thanks for the Memories: Dr. Demento - Breaking it all Down

I have a new episode concept this time, as I respond to Dr. Demento announcing his retirement, what he as a radio host has meant to me personally and the impact I feel he’s had on music. You can listen to current and past episodes of the Dr. Demento Show online at https://www.drdemento.com/online.html

Breaking it all Down

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Dr. Demento Presents: The Greatest Novelty Records Of All Time (Volume III - The 1960s)
1985 U.S. pressing

Some late night chuckles for last spin of the night.

All the hilarious usual suspects of the novelty realm are here; Tiny Tim, Bryan Hyland, Napoleon XIV, The Trashmen, and my personal favorite, Ray Stevens’ sublimely absurd “Guitarzan”!

I believe Dr. Demento did God’s work, and was a king among men. Someone needs to make a legit biopic on him NOT starring Rainn Wilson.

Lyrics:

Push a razor blade into your nose!
Whip your partner with a rubber hose!
Spit at the band, 'cause that's the way it goes!
Do The Punk Polka!

Drink a little beer, and drink a little scotch!
Turn around and kick your neighbor in the crotch!
It's no fun if you just stand and watch!
Do The Punk Polka!

Jump, jump, jump, jump up and down in place!
Jab a safety pin into your face!
Excuse me while I leave the human race,
To do The Punk Polka!

Nothing but death, nothing but death,
Nothing but death and destruction!
Bad breath, armpits, terminal acne,
Nothing but death for MEEEEEEEEEE!

If I find I had too much to drink,
I will go and vomit in the sink!
I feel just like a missing link
When I do The Punk Polka!

Jump, jump, jump, jump up and down in place!
Jab a safety pin into your face!
Excuse me while I leave the human race,
To do The Punk Polka!
Punk Polka by The Toons

Here are the Lyrics Push a razor blade into your nose! Whip your partner with a rubber hose! Spit at the band, 'cause that's the way it goes! Do The Punk Polka!

My #brain does #weird things with #music.

Today it helpfully informed me that you can take the lyrics to Weenie Man (the old camp song that starts "I know a wiener man / he owns a hotdog stand"), and sing them to the music of #Slade's "Run Runaway", or vice versa.

Good luck getting it out of your head. You're welcome.

As Weird Al sang in "It's All About the Pentiums":

My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique!

Your laptop is a month old? Well, that's great
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight

And as you say, the worst part is that it was true.
