Lyr Req: Dead Puppies

Subject: Dead Puppies.... anyone????
From: Calach

Heard a great sort-of sick song....
Dead Puppies
Goes like this;
Dead puppies aren't much fun, when you call them; they don't come.
Dead puppies aren't much fun....
But can't remember anything else... can anyone help?

A classic from the Dr. Demento repertoire. Did you try a search on that?

Dead Puppies Dead Puppies Dead Puppies aren't much fun.
They don't come when you call,
They don't chase squirrels at all
Dead puppies aren't much fun

My puppy died late last fall
He's still rotting in the hall
Dead puppies aren't much fun, no no no

Mom says puppy's days are through
She's going to throw him in the stew
Dead puppies aren't much fun, no no no

Come on everybody sing along
Etc. etc. etc.

Hope that helps... although I can't believe that I am posting this! ehhee

Cheers

I think that is what you are looking for

DEAD PUPPIES
Ogden Edsl

Dead puppies, dead puppies,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

They don't come when you call.
They don't chase squirrels at all.
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

My puppy died late last fall;
He's still rotting in the hall.
Dead puppies aren't much fun. No, no, no.

Mom says puppy's days are through;
She's going to throw him in the stew.
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

Dead puppies. Dead dead dead dead puppies
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

Come on everybody out there sing along, okay?

Dead, dead dead dead puppies.
Dead dead dead, dead, dead dead dead puppies
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

One more time for Roman Ruska

Dead, dead dead dead dead dead dead

Written by Dr. Demento I do believe.

Dead puppies aren't much fun,
When you call them they don't come,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

My puppy died last fall,
That's him lying in the Hall,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

Mummy want's to throw him out,
She doesn't like him lying about,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

You can't make them beg for food,
You can try but it's no good,
Dead puppies etc.

Won't go riding in the car,
That's the way dead puppies are,
Dead puppies etc.

Won't roll over, won't play ball,
They'll play dead that's all,
Dead puppies etc.

When you pick them up they sag,
When you walk them it's a drag,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

Thanks to Muriel Graves and Hamish Imlach.

Dr. Demento actually writes very few songs. He's a disc jockey.

I've looked at Dr Demento's site but it doesn't say who actually wrote the song. Ulli, where did you get your lyrics from, and can you be sure about 'Ogden Edsl'? Sounds a bit phony to me ...

We have not yet made a deaddog category, but we do have @deadbaby and @deadcat for your enjoyment. There are a number of dead dog songs, but no so labelled - Old Blue, Dead Dog Scrumpy, I'm Looking Over My Dead Dog Rover...

Can't remember exactly where I got the lyrics from (perhaps from the internet somewhere), but I got the song on a CD (Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary collection; disc one) In the booklet it says "DEAD PUPPIES" was born in 1977, child of OGDEN EDSL WAHALIA BLUES ENSEMBLE MONDO BIZARRO BAND, which used to peform in every Midwestern city where its name would fit on the marquee. Lead singer Bill Frenzer wrote the song with bandmate Richie Thieman, with pipe organ by fellow Edslite William Carey."

sorry, I just remember where I got the lyrics from. There's a web site, called DEMENTED LYRICS, where you find the song under both artists and titles; I can't remember how to do the blue clicky thing; you find it under http://php.indiana.edu/~jbmorris/lyrics.html
