Story behind the song
Written for a Dr. Demento Silly Summer Songfest contest for a microphone prize...The challenge was to use one or more of the 25 "demented" words listed in the contest ad in a song no longer than 3:00...I used all 25! Good thing I already had microphones...
Lyrics
It's a blue blue day the sky is turning grey and the sunlight seems so dark it's been two weeks but it feels like three since we met in Fresno Park we rode the roller coaster played the whack-a-mole and we rode on the tilt-a-whirl it's the first time I've ever been on that ride that I didn't have to hurl well I washed my thong I put my zoot suit on and I got tickets to the show I put the key in the switch and I stepped on the gas but the engine just wouldn't go four wheel mechanical sheet metal blob sittin on the driveway like a toadstool knob masticate my succulent artichoke heart I wanna get to you but my Pinto won't start we heard the bagpipes playing disco on the shore and the surfers were insane we watched a beatnik playing bongos on the beach and we shared some pork chow mein saved every penny I earned from the Flapjack House I gotta brand new dollar bill Wanda Wanda I would roll it to you if the whole way was downhill maybe it's my starter or my battery's dead or my alternator's shot it's gotta an eight track deck I've almost paid my dad back and its the only wheels I got gas chuggin oil burnin sheet metal blob sittin on the driveway like a toadstool knob chewin up my succulent artichoke heart I wanna get to you but my Pinto won't start I wanna get to you but my Pinto won't start I shoulda got me a Honda or a pickup truck or a handsome Cadillac or a Ferrari Dino with the sport suspension and the big daddy slicks on the back Wanda Wanda are you really a blonde or is it polyunsaturated bunk? I wanna get to you but I can't get through in this broke down pile of junk if my Ford would move we'd get right into the groove and we would roll all around the land but I got no place to hang the drive-in speaker gotta hold it in my hand I had to get it towed from the spatula store I ripped my brand new trousers too you gotta give me an hour I gotta take a shower and I'll hitchhike over to you blacktop paperweight steering wheel coated with a golden french fry crust I just got it washed but I can't tell the body from the metal from the dirt from the rust broke down bucket seat rusted out blob sittin on the driveway like a toadstool knob masticate my chewy chewy artichoke heart I wanna get to you but my Pinto won't start I wanna get to you but my Pinto won't start
