Subject: RE: Nice Songs Made Naughty
In the early 60s, Cap'n Jim, hosted Popeye cartoons on board a cardboard boat called the Nancy B.
He encouraged kids to send in parodies of the Popeye song. One afternoon, he read one very peculiarly.
"I'm Popeye the sailor man"
"I live in the garbage can"
"Live in the....." a very strange noise but no word.
And I smell like......" the same noise.
"I'm Popeye the sailor man".
I was very young and didn't know there were such things as words you don't say on television. So, I just thought he was laughing at a funny parody.
Now I know, and I wish I knew what the song was. It was probably vulgar without being funny. But it would add to the story.
