New Question.......

here's the lyrics.......

(the person who recorded this song was in the movie "Blues Brothers" and sometimes in the TV show "Sesame Street")


Folks, here's a story 'bout _____ _____ _____;
She was a red hot hoochie coocher.
She was the roughest toughest frail;
But _____ had a heart as big as a whale.

Hi de hi de hi de hi
Ho de ho de ho de ho
Hee de hee de hee de hee
Ho oo waooo waoooo

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey;
She loved him though he was coke-y.
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick the gong around.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-whooooaaaa-ahhhh-ohh
He-de-he-de-hee-de-he
Ho-oh-ho-oh

She had a dream about the king of Sweden;
He gave her things, that she was needin'.
He gave her a home built of gold and steel,
A diamond car, with the puh-latinum wheels.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-oh
Skeedle-a-booka-diki biki skeedly beeka gookity woop!
A-booriki-booriki-booriki Hoy!

He gave her his town house and his racing horses;
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses.
She had a million dollars in nickels and dimes;
She sat around and counted it all, a million times.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-oh-whoaa-oh-oh-whoa
He-de-he-de-hee-de-hee
Ho-oh-whoaa-oh-oh-whoa

Hi dyslexia.....

correct!!

You have a really wide range of musical trivia!! I was worried that this song would be too obscure!!

I'm still at the office..... will be heading home soon..... if I bribe my daughter, she might let me have some computer time tonight!!!

Minnie the Moocher
Actually, I always like Blues guitarist Robert Johnson's "Sweet Home Chicago." on the Blues Brothers album.

Here's one that goes back to 1970... Name the Album:

Porgy Tirebiter!
He's a spy and a girl delighter,
Orgie Firefighter!
He's just a student like you.

If you're looking for a Captain of the Ringball Team,
You can bet he won't be there.
You'll find him pa-popping off at Pop's Sodium Shoppe,
Tr-trailing a red,<tweet,tweet!> with red hair.
Doobie doo-wah...
Porgy Tirebiter!
Just a student like you!
(PORGY:) "Like me?!"
Just a student like you!
(Father:) "Stop singing and finish your homework !"
Just a student like you! ooooooooooo..."

firesign theater also know as radio free oz "don't touch the dwarf, hand me the plyers"

What was the name of the band featured in the film, with David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave, BLOWUP?

Hi edgar......

The Yardbirds????


That was a great movie.... I remember seeing it several times.....

New Question.......

here's the lyrics.......


When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."
