Subject: RE: BS: Obituary - Idi Amin
Amazing Individual!

Never paid any attention to him until John Bird's hilarious recording , The Collected Broadcasts of Idi Amin was played on the Dr. Demento radio program:

Idi! Idi! Idi Amin!
Most amazin' man de world ebber seen!

In the script AK47 go off in the background and he eventualy sends his political cabinet to the planet Pluto.

Trained by Israel's military and then turning against the Jews who train him, Amin was a shining crescent for Lybia and the Arab World. When he gave a speech at the United Nations in 1975, calling for the annihilation of the State of Israel, he received a standing ovation. Rumor says that he practiced cannibalism and when one of his wives angered him...her corpse was returned to her family with the arms and legs surgically interchangded. In exhile in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, he was the personal guest of Prince Abdullah.

Anyone have a copy of Mr. Bird's lyrics?

Sincerely,
