I heard this first in about 1999, from my friends Richard "Dead Ear Dick" and his lovely wife, Jody. I met them back when I rode the ferry to work every day. We would catch the 6:30 ferry, be in Seattle at 7:30 and hustling to work. I met them through a mutual friend (Angel) and we bonded over our mutual love of Dr. Demento. I'm still sad I missed a Dr. D concert with Richard a few years back, we would have had a blast. I had never heard this song before, but I loved it. I love it so much I'm made it the ringtone for when Richard or Jody calls or texts me.
I love a good pun, I love a bad pun. I'm generally a sucker for a joke, especially a bad one. This song is so right up my alley.
Kip Addotta was born in Rockford, Illinois to Frank and Josephine Addotta. He is the father of three children: Victor, Kathy and Frank. You can follow him on Twitter here.
