I heard this song on an American Top 40 rerun from 1978 yesterday. I thought I had already done a karaoke cartoon of it, because it’s one of my favorite absurd lyrics ever. But I hadn’t. I’d only taken a note while listening to the radio. (A voice note taken in my car from the looks of it.)
Now you see how the sausage is made, folks. This is my life. This is what I’m doing while everyone else is going to work, celebrating weddings and births, traveling to exotic locations, and other stuff.
I think I remember hearing this particular AT40 as a kid because it has Patrick Hernandez’s “Born To Be Alive”, which was, to me, the lamest, stupidest song I’d ever heard in my life (now it’s still dumb, but it’s kind of fun), and then later in the countdown, The Cars “Let’s Go” (still one of the Top 40 best songs in my book).
