Subject: REQ: It's Plastic From: Bert Date: 24 May 98 - 09:50 PM Looking for a 60's-era gag song called "It's Plastic" (or something like that). It dealt with a variety of items that turned out to cheap plastic imitations of what they originally seemed to be. No idea who recorded it. |
Subject: RE: REQ: It's Plastic From: Gene Date: 24 May 98 - 11:01 PM I recall an old 50's tune A Plastic Heart....
They're making almost everything of plastic nowdays
several things toys, etc....
I wish I had a plastic heart so it wouldn't break.

Subject: Lyr Add: PLASTIC (Shel Silverstein) From: Joe Offer Date: 24 May 98 - 11:53 PM Hey Bert, is this it?? -Joe Offer-
Well, a little bitty termite, he come a knockin'
He said, "It's plastic, I know it's plasticWell now, early one day in the month of May, I went down to the beach There were cuties and beauties in their little bathing suities, And all of them within my reach. Now a 38-24-36 miss just happened to be walkin' my way; I said, "Please don't think me nervy, but you look so very curvy, Tell me how you got that way!"
She said, "It's plastic. Oh, yes, it's plasticThey say that someday soon, we'll have a plastic moon, Shinin' through the plastic trees. There'll be plastic ladies with plastic babies, Bouncin' on their plastic knees. Now, you may not agree that it's all gonna be, And this record may make you sore; But if you have a desire to throw it in the fire, Or smash it down on the floor
Remember, it's plastic, I know it's plastic

Subject: RE: REQ: It's Plastic From: Bert Date: 25 May 98 - 10:11 PM Thanks, Joe, I'm sure that's the one. I should have figured it would be Shel Silverstein. Now I'll have to track down the music somewhere. ANy ideas? |
Subject: RE: REQ: It's Plastic From: Joe Offer Date: 25 May 98 - 10:52 PM Well, Bert, I'm not good at transcribing tunes from a recording, but I can send you a WAV if you're able to receive attachments with your e-mail. -Joe Offer-click to mail- |

Subject: RE: REQ: It's Plastic From: Bert (The "New" one) Date: 29 May 98 - 01:22 AM I assume you're the Bert from Phoenixville, PA. That's not so far from me - I'm in Perkasie, PA. I have a friend friend in Spring City who goes by the name of Barry Lee - hell of a guitar picker! He even has a web page at http://members.aol.com/J100sb/index2.html. I happen to be the WebMaster for the Bucks County Folk Song Society (http://pages.prodigy.com/bcfss/), which is why I have become interested in this site. Unfortunately I don't seem to have the kind of time for browsing that you guys do. You can reach me at acoffman@prodigy.com. Which reminds me - how do you stick HTML tags in these messages; I'm kinda new at this. |
Subject: RE: REQ: It's Plastic From: Bert Coffman (The "New" Bert) Date: 29 May 98 - 01:34 AM Duhhh - it just dawned on me how HTML tags would work in this message - I jest types 'em in and the browser renders 'em. That simple. It must be the lateness of the hour. Anyway, here's Barry Lee's Home Page and here's the Bucks County Folk Song Society Web Page. Feel free to EMail me. |
Subject: RE: REQ: It's Plastic From: Bert the New Date: 29 May 98 - 01:38 AM Hey Bert, your plastic flower song is pretty cool. What's the tune? |
Subject: RE: REQ: It's Plastic From: GUEST,wsiemon@poklib.org Date: 19 Nov 04 - 11:08 AM I've been looking for the words to "IT'S PLASTIC" for years! THANX! |
Subject: Confusingly similar user names From: PoppaGator Date: 19 Nov 04 - 11:15 AM Serious thread creep: I'm surprised that Mudcat allows a new member to register with a username identical to that of an established member -- did that really happen with Bert and Bert?
