OK, don't know what's happened so far on this thread, but here's a challenge: find the lyrics to Chewing Gum (on the Bed Post Overnight) and post 'em here. First one wins.

CRAZY WORDS CRAZY TUNE
by Yellen & Ager
as sung by Frank Crumit, and Dick Robertson


There's a guy I'd like to kill
If he doesn't stop I will
He's got a ukulele, and a voice that's loud and shrill.
'Cause he lives next door to me
And he keeps me up till three
With his ukulele and a funny melody.

Crazy words, crazy tune
All that you'll ever hear him croon
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe. Vo-doe doe.
Sits around, all night long
Sings the same words to every song
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.
His ukulele, daily
How he'll strum!
Bum bum bum!
Vampin' and stampin'
Then he hollers, "Black bottom!"
Crazy words, crazy tune
He'll be driving me crazy soon
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.

I have begged that guy to stop
I have even called a cop
Told my dog "Go sic him", but the durn dog wouldn't go.
But tonight will be the end
Yes siree, 'cause I intend
To go up and kick him in the vo doe doe de oh doe.

He's got to stop it, stop it
Yes he must, or I'll just
Kill him, I'll kill him
Then I'll do the black bottom.
When I'm jailed, upon my need,
To the jury and the judge I'll plead
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o doe.


Now the minuet, quiet bliss,
Calm and peaceful, it went like this:
Vo doe de o vo doe doe de o doe.
The Polka too was a treat
Your partner said if you tread on his feet
Vo doe de o vo doe doe de o doe.
The gliding Fox©trot we've got
And the blues, if you choose
We've got the Charleston
And we'll soon have Black Bottom
Our vicar said, "Ah, me,
Friends, our hymn for tonight will be
Vo doe de o doe doe doe de o doe.


It's a rage, it's a craze
Everybody sings now-a-days
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de oh doe. Vo doe doe.
Every goof, every sheik,
Tunes his uke and begins to shriek,
Vo doe de oh, vo doe doe de o doe.
Go on the east side, the west side,
Here or there, everywhere,
They vo doe, vo doe doe,
Then they holler, "Black bottom!"
Young or old, old or young
The guy that started it should be hung
Vo doe de o, vo doe doe de o, doe.
 
I win!

DOES THE SPEARMINT LOSE ITS FLAVOR ON THE BEDPOST OVER NIGHT
by Rose, Bloom, and Breuer
as sung by Billy Jones & Ernest Hare


Oh me, oh my, oh you.
I don't know what to do.
Hallelujah, the question is peculiar.
It's got me on the go
I'd give a lot of dough
If someone here would tell me, is it yes or is it no:
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?
If you chew it in the morning will it be too hard to bite?
Can't you see I'm going crazy? Won't somebody put me right?
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?

The nation rose as one
And sent it's favorite son
To the white house, this mighty country's light-house.
He saw the president
He said that I've been sent
To solve the burning question that involves the continent:
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?
Would you use it on your collar when your button's not in sight?
Put your hand beneath your seat
And you will find it there all right.
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?

Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?
If your teacher tells you not to chew it, swallow it for spite.
Could you grab it with your tonsils
And then swing it left and right?
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?

Here comes the blushing bride
The groom right at her side
To the altar, as steady as Gibraltar.
The bridegroom has the ring
It's such a pretty thing
He puts it on her finger and the choir begins to sing:
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?
Always paste it on your napkin if you want to be polite.
Could you get a job as typist if you couldn't chew it right?
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?

Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?
Will it make a fellow shut up when he's dying to recite?
Would you give it to your parrot if he isn't perching right?
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?
 
Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its flavor On The Bedpost Overnight? Oh me, oh my, oh you
Whatever shall I do?
Hallelujah, the question is peculiar
I'd give a lot of dough
If only I could know
The answer to my question
Is it yes or is it no?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it,
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
Can you heave it left & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
Here comes a blushing bride
The groom is by her side
Up to the altar,
Just as steady as Gibraltar
The groom has got the ring
And it's such a pretty thing
But as he slips it on her finger
The choir begins to sing:
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it,
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
Can you heave it left & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
Now the nation rise as one
To send their wanted son
Up to the White House, yes,
The nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
The bonny burning question,
What has swept this continent?
(Lonnie speaks: If tin whistles are made of tin,
what do they make fog horns out of?
Another man shouts: Boom boom!)
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it,
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
Can you heave it left & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
On the bedpost overnight?
(Man: Hello there, I love you & the one who
holds you tight!
Lonnie: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night!)
On the bedpost overnight
(Man: A dollar is a dollar & a dime is a dime!
Lonnie: He'd sing another chorus but he hasn't got the time!)
On the bedpost overnight, yeah!
Recorded by:
Lonnie Donegan & his Skiffle Group
 
This has nothing to do with you know what!

Ahab the Arab (that's pronounced Ay-rab)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me tell you about Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the burning sand
He had emeralds and rubies just drippin' off 'a him
And a ring on every finger of his hand
He wore a big ol' turban wrapped around his head
And a scimitar by his side
And, every evenin', about midnight
He'd jump on his camel named Clyde, and ride
Silently through the night to the sultan's tent where he
would secretly meet up with Fatima of the Seven Veils,
swingingest grade "A" number one US choice dancer in
the sultan's whole harem, 'cause, heh, him and her had
a thing goin', you know, and they'd been carryin' on
for some time now behind the sultan's back and you
could hear him talk to his camel as he rode out across the
dunes, his voice would cut through the still night desert
air and he'd say (imitate Arabic speech and finish with "Sold! American)
which is Arabic for, "Stop, Clyde!" and Clyde'd say, (imitate camel
sound), which is camel for, "What the heck did he say anyway?"

Well, he brought that camel to a screechin' halt
In the rear of Fatima's tent
Jumped off Clyde, snuck around the corner
And into the tent he went.
There he saw Fatima layin' on a zebra skin rug
With
Rings on her fingers and
bells on her toes and a bone in her nose ho, ho.

There she was, friends, lyin' there in all her radiant
beauty, eating on a raisin, grape, apricot, pomegranate,
bowl of chittlin's, two bananas, three Hershey bars,
sipping on a RC co-cola listenin' to her transistor,
watchin' the Grand Ole Opry on the tube, readin' a Mad
magazine while she sung, "Does your chewing gum lose
it's flavor?" Yeah, Ahab walked up to her and he say,
(imitate Arabic speech), which is Arabic for "Let's twist
again like we did last summer, baby.!!" Ha, ha, ha!!
You know what I mean! Whew! She looked up at him from off the rug,
give him one of the sly looks,

She said "Crazy, crazy, crazy baby!"

('round and around and around and around, and around and around and around)

Yeah, and that's the story 'bout Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the burnin' sand
Ahab the Arab, the swingin' sheik of the burnin' sand
 
Okay, here's one...

Find the 80s song by a British group that was somewhat criticized because its chorus line (and song title) dealt with murdering a person of Middle Eastern descent.

Need lyrics, song title, and band.

This may be too tough.
 
Here's a three parter:


  1. 1. Post the next line after: "Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment, And despite the changing fortunes of time, _______

    2. What is the title to the song?

    3. And what is it a parody of?[/list=1]

Not just an 80's group - still recording I believe - and I have all their albums (cds)

Ooh, YoungGun technically posted the lyrics to the version I asked for. So to be fair, *triple smooches* to YoungGun. And Dill gets at least a hug for posting the song itself. :)
 
THE CLASH Rock The Casbah


Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

*The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

Chorus

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

Chorus

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

Chorus

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it
You know he really hates it

  1. Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
    And despite the changing fortunes of time,
    There is always a big future in computer main-te-nance.

    You are a fluke
    Of the universe.
    You have no right to be here.
    And whether you can hear it or not
    The universe is laughing behind your back.
 
Sorry - forgot:

Its a parody of Desiderata and its called Deteriorata!
