Where does he get this stuff?

[Nuclear Unicorn]

For those unfamiliar -- hubby likes to put surprise songs on my mp3 player. He usually likes to get some sort of reaction out of me, i.e. sneaking on a really sad song to make me cry.

Today I find "The Streak" by some guy named Ray Stevens.

I don't even know where he finds this stuff.

1. "And I yelled 'DON'T LOOK ETHEL!', but it was too late, she'd already gotten a free shot."

One of my favorite songs, and yes, I still have it on vinyl.

"OH YEAH THEY CALL him the streak. Fastest thing on two feet. If there's an audience to be found he'll be streakin' around. You might call him unique."

"Here I am at the produce section of the grocery store, sir, did you see what happened?"

"Yeah, I did. I was standin' over there by the tomaters and there he come. I yelled 'DON'T LOOK ETHEL', but it was too late. She'd already been boomed."

I was in 5th grade when that song came out.

2. "I still have it on vinyl"

I read about those.

3. Hey, I've got a high end turntable and a LaserDisc player hooked into the stereo.

It took a few A/B switches to pull it off, but I've got all forms of media back to cassette tape tied in. No reel-to-reel. We're watching the rest of a Bond movie on LaserDisc tonight.

Oddly enough, they're tickled about it.

7. Whatever you do don't look for Ray Stevens' more recent songs.

He's gone off the deep end with racism, anti-Obama hysteria and right-wing propaganda.
