I was flipping through channels last night ( Thursday )
And I stopped on the Nashville Channel. Two men were singing this great song
About a man who was eating twinkees in his car, He crashed ......
and the chorus had the line " He died with his Ding Dong in his hand. "


A: Who was this ?

B: Is this song on an album ?

C: Will this show ( Whatever it was ) be re-run ?

I must learn this song
Can anybody help ????????

Yes! I can help! There are two men who sing this song, one is a white guy,
and the other is a fat indian man. They call themselves "Williams and
Ree" because that is their last names. They are also known affectionately
as "The white guy and the indian" They tour almost strictly in the Midwest,
and are very popular in South Dakota, from where they originate. They usually
do shows consisting of dementia/country music, and dry, funny humor mixed in.
They are VERY VERY funny!! I'm not sure if they have an album out, but if
I find out,I will post it here. I do know, however, that they did make a
movie which was played on South Dakota Public TV, and It was extremely
hilarious! If you want the addressof SDPTV, e-mail me, and I can give it
toyou so you can write them and find out if they would be willing to get
a copy for you...

Please Help!

I am looking for the lyrics to all the songs from the Doctor Demento 20th
Anniversary Album. If I can get them all,I will post them to the lyrics
server at cs.uwp.edu. I already have the lyrics for Existential Blues
(edit, sorry) And The ballad of Irving...If you have any lyrics to offer
me from this album, you can post them here, but I'd really prefer that you
e-mail them to me. When my colleciton is complete, I will upload it, and
it will be available via Anon FTP. Please donate to this cause!! Thanx!

What songs are on the album? I don't have the album, but I might have some
lyrics to some of the songs.

You might not have to *type* the lyrics in... you might be able to use a
scanner.

The lyrics to "The Scotsman" have been posted before. Someone should have
them. If not, remind me and I can send them to you.

Oh yeah, I think I left mine in my Porsche. :)

Nope. They do come with a micro-history/background of selected songs and their
artists, along with some pictures. Dr. Demento's picture is even on the CD
itself.

Later...
