From BIUL III<\/i><\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Luckily, I was a kid when radio personalities like Don Imus and Dickie Goodman had (what could charitably be called) their “heyday”. I can’t imagine what it must have been like to be an adult and hear this stupid, juvenile shit coming out of the radio.<\/p>\n

As a boy, I fake-prayed while in church, but I really<\/em> prayed that Don Imus’ “Moby Worm” would attack and destroy my elementary school building. I never considered that it was just a dumb bit. I truly believed that Imus took calls from callers my age, and subsequently ordered a gargantuan worm to crush a school in suburban New Jersey.<\/p>\n

JACK MOTHERFUCKING DAVIS. (That’s Moby Worm at top.)<\/p><\/div>\n

I also thought the song parodies were funny.\u00a0Song parodies are never funny. Never.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I learned this lesson after discovering the Dr. Demento Show. That’s where “Weird” Al Yankovic was discovered; he is literally the only person who can make a song parody funny or good, because he was grandfathered in at the right time. Everything else is\u00a0Gong Show<\/em> material.<\/p>\n

“Weird” Al Yankovic shares the same innocent love for\u00a0Phantom Menace<\/em> as I do. Here’s your proof. He made Don MacLean’s “American Pie” actually listenable and poignant.<\/p>\n
