Thread Name: banned songs
Subject: RE: banned songs
Gee, it's interesting that "Transfusion" came up in this thread. I suppose it was my first "favorite song." The kid across the street had it when I was in about the first grade, and we used to play it over and over again, while reading contraband copies of Mad Magazine. We felt like we were real beatnicks.
The flip side was an even more obnoxious gem called "Dig."
Dig, dig, dig-a-roonie;
Dig, dig, dig
Dig-a-roonie;
Dig, dig, dig, dig
Dig, you crazy cat.
I don't think there were any more words - just repeat that verse, over and over again. It was very satisfying to me back in those days. Kids thrive on obnoxious repetition.
