They come on April 15th dear

That's all I can remember. The magazines belonged to my older brother and if he caught me w/one of them I'd get a sound thrashing...that is until I reached puberty and things began to even out a bit...

GUEST,Jeff, I don't remember all of "April 15th(Income tax day)It Came Upon A Midnight Clear", but I believe it ends with

Oh Income Tax

the government takes all!
A thief of any other kind
would never have such gall.

My father he was a moonshine man
A regular sort of feller
He kept Ma plastered for forty years
With the still he ran in the cellar.

I remember the folks who sampled his stuff
The glassy looks on their faces
One day our spaniel inhaled the fumes
And dropped dead at twenty paces.

Us boys we got in the moonshine game
And gave the business new birth.
The oldest is now at Alcatraz,
The youngest at Leavenworth.

But they never caught my father though
And they no longer raid his place:
The revenooers now buy his stuff
For use at a missile base.

A New Year's Eve Carol

Well you'd better watch out
You'd better not try
Traveling about, I'm telling you why:
Sodden clods are painting
The town.

They're wrecking the bars,
They're starting street fights,
They're having one of their naughtiest nights
Sodden clods are painting
The town.

Blithe New Year's drivers pickled
In alcoholic brine
Will gaily bounce off walls and trees
To strains of "Auld Lang Syne."

So you'd better stay home
And drink your own rye,
You're crazy to roam
It's obvious why:
Sodden clods are painting
The town.

On the outside of my office, on the common bulletin board and beautifully framed, resides a portrait of the ineffable Alfred E. Neumann in all his manifest glory. Under his picture, in the spirit of current events, is the usual slogan: "What? Me Worry?"

Having grown up with the rascal, I should have memorialized this singular symbol in song, but never did. Thanks to those who had the foresight to recognize this "gentleman's?" contributions to our culture.

There was one they did which was a musical with a whole bunch of popular newspaper and comic characters in it, all of whom got to do a song.

Tarzan's was "The Girl That I Marry" and it went like this...

The girl that I marry will have to be
As light on her feet as a chimpanzee
The girl with whom I'll romp
Will swing through the jungle and smell like a swamp
A bone of white ivory will grace her nose
She'll spring like a panther when I propose
'Stead of sighin', she'll be cryin'
With the roar of a half-crazy lion
Athletic and hairy the girl that I marry must be

******

Dagwood Bumstead's was "Old Man Dithers"

Oh, Old Man Dithers
That Old Man Dithers
He just keeps screamin'
He keeps on steamin'
Yeah, Old Man Dithers
He just keeps screamin' all day...

I get no Blue Cross
No paid up pension
A raise I'm needin'
But don't dare mention
Cos Old Man Dithers
He'd only lower my pay!

Look at me...
It's just a crime...
No vacation...
Or overtime...
Nine till five...
Like a slob...
Be a minute late and I'd lose my job...

I feel I'm fadin'
It's gettin' hazy
Goodbye to Blondie!
Goodbye to Daisy!
And Old Man Dithers can keep on screamin' all day....


Dagwood tragically sings the above song and then expires, having been accidentally shot a minute earlier by Dick Tracy who is in pursuit of criminals at the time and shoots Dagwood because...why? Because Dick Tracy has incredibly lousy aim! He NEVER succeeds in hitting the person he's aiming at, but always shoots some innocent bystander instead. Oh, the shame of it!

Looking down at Dagwood's pathetic dead body, Tracy begins to weep. Whoever is with him (Tarzan, I think...) asks Tracy if he is weeping in remorse for having killed Dagwood. Tracy says, "No, I just got some smoke in my eyes." And then he sings this song:

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

They...ask me why I sob
Killing some poor slob....
I, of course, reply,
"When the bullets fly, something makes me cry."
True...I am just a heel...sorrow I don't feel....
Shooting the wrong guy
Didn't make me cry
Smoke got in my eyes

And that's all I remember. Danged if I can recall what the point of the overall story was...but it had some really cool songs in it.

The one I remember is "I've Got To Stop Smoking" sung to the tune of "On Top Of Old Smoky"


I've got to stop smoking
My doctor has said
Or else when I'm seven
I'm sure to be dead

Cigarettes can cause cancer
But that makes no sense
I've got to stop stealing
My dear daddy's Kents

Now here in the sixties
When going with chicks
Cigarettes can give status
To a boy who is six

But I must live clean now
At six life is ripe
Cigarettes I will give up
And switch to a pipe

Service song parodies:

The GM workers song, (Marines)

From the gaudy grill of Cadillac
To the fins of Chevrolet.

And ,make obselence pay

So the heck with Ford and Crysler boys
And to sports cars from afar
We won't stop till every family
Owns a brand new GM car

The Dentists Anthem (Air Force)


Off we go into that wild mouth yonder
Looking for molars to fill
There's a tooth waiting to feel our thunder
At em boys give it the drill rat-a-tat-tat

We dislike cavities left untreated
Teeth look bad, full of decay
So when were in doubt we just pull em out
O nothing can stip a dentist to day

Teamsters (Army)


On the street,
On the road,
We won't carry a full load
As the teamsters go rolling along

Make em pass
On the right
Keep your union card in sight
As the teamsters go rolling along

And its hi hi hey, when we want a raise in pay
We shout out our grevience loud an strong
And where ere you go, you will alway know
That the teamsters stopped rolling along

I'm looking for "Junky Wheels," which is sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells." Starts off with the intro:

OK. Here are two I remember (I think). (I think all three came from the same issue.)

Wrinkle Wrinkle Movie Star (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star):

Wrinkle wrinkle movie star,
Fans don't see you who you are,
On the screen you look so great,
Making male hearts pitter-pate,
But you're really sixty-one,
Wearing make-up by the ton.


Rock N Roll Baby (Rock-a-by Baby):

Rock-n-roll baby,
On the dance floor.

Listen for hours,
And still want some-more.

Before they all drop,
Just turn on your radio,
So you won't have to stop.

Bat Goddess,

Found this on the internet. It purports to be the complete version.

Once upon a midnight cautious, while I pondered weak and nauseous,
Over some advertising copy I had wrote for Macy's Store,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a yapping,
As of someone loudly yapping, yapping at my office door.
"'Tis some client there," I muttered, "yapping at my office door -
Only this and nothing more."

Then I felt my terror worsen, for my guest was not a person!
In there stepped a cocker spaniel; naturally I jumped in fear.
Tried to climb an oaken panel, ripping there my new grey flannel;
But the spaniel merely stood there, speaking out with voice so clear -
Speaking out like Jack Lescoulie, in a voice both loud and clear -
Quoth the spaniel- _"Drink Blatz Beer!"_

How I marveled this ungainly dog who did commercials plainly;
How he spoke the message clearly; selling points he underscored.
For I could not help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet could mouth a slogan without sounding slightly bored -
Quoth the spaniel: _"Buy a Ford!"_

Thus this dog with voice like Murrow made my heavy brow unfurrow;
Thoughts of fortunes I could make now made me shake down to my knees.
But the spaniel set me grieving then by turning tail and leaving.
Naturally, I begged him tarry, crying out, "Stay with me, please!"
Quoth the spaniel, _"Eat Kraft Cheese!"_

Appropriate for this coming tax season - to the tune of "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" circa approx 1963.

They come on April 15th dear
To take away our gold.

Tax men are never moved by tears
Nor tales that may be told.

Robin - What great history. This explains the wonderful freedom we American folks enjoy ... some of parodies have rivaled the originals in popular success.

Regarding comic books, Seduction of the Innocent was one of the books exposing the scandleous drawings in pulp media. Its 1954 publication helped bring about legislation. Parade of Pleasure was another book. There is place for trading the comics seductionoftheinnocent.org

We loved "It's a Gas" an early 1960's "paper vinyl magazine insert" with belching sounds.

"Sing Along with Mad" had a group of songs as sung by historical figures or at historical events. The one I remember best is to be sugn by Leonardo da Vinci, to the tune of "There's No Business Like Show Business":

There's no genius
But no genius
Like my genius, you see

Go to Venice, Naples, Rome or Pisa
You will find nobody half as smart
People really dig my Mona Lisa
They think that she's a
Great work of art

There's no talent
Like my talent
The whole world will agree

Off we go, into the lunchroom yonder,
pushing boys out of the way.
Forward girls! Start moving down the counter.
Grab your grub, fill up your tray

Try the beans, they were prepared last Friday,
and the meat's tough as a mule.
The soup is cold. The bread's got mold, Yeccch!
Anything beats the lunchroom at school.





And there was another in the same series, about

There was another parody of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" in MAD's send-up of Oklahoma, titled 007 (Oh-Oh-Seven.) It set the James Bond world to the Oklahoma songs. I only really remember the last line of the chorus, which was something like "I have a jolly good feeling, I will kill someone today!" Or maybe it was "bloody good" instead of "jolly good".
