Do you know the Muffin Man
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, do you know the muffin man,
That lives on Drury Lane?

Oh, yes, I know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, yes, I know the muffin man,
That lives on Drury Lane.

If someone wants to tell me why I have this particular earworm right now, I'd appreciate it. Because I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Dammit.
:argh:

3. Some people like cupcakes better. I for one care less for them!
The muffin man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the utility muffin research kitchen... reaching for an oversized chrome spoon he gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and brushing his scapular aside proceeds to dump these inside of his shirt...
He turns to us and speaks.

27. I'm a foodie!
I can't help it. It's the most tangible way to partake of variety. And variety is the spice of life. :)

11. Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing
Anointment utensil he puts forths a quarter-ounce green rosette (oh ah yuk Yuk... letÕs try that again...!) he puts forth a quarter-ounce green rosette Near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.
Later he says:

Some people... some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of godÕs grey Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!

15. Zappa fan?
I saw this thread title and my first thought was "brushing his scrapular aside...". Looks like you had the same thought.

20. Actually, I stumbled across the song when looking to find out
exactly where the Muffin Man lived.

It's a fascinating bit of rambling, though, isn't it?

19. Yes, I knew the muffin man
I worked with the muffin man.
The muffin man was a friend of mine.
Eyesroll, you're no muffin man.

Wonder what Lloyd Benston is up to these days. Still living?
