One thing I love about this song is when near the end the trumpet quotes few notes of "the stars spangled banner"on the verses that say USA...

surprised it took so long for the right answer, and at the wrong answers. One small detail; that is not someone pretending to be a female, that is 'boy soprano' Bob Harris, in his regular voice, albeit acting the proud EXCITED father (hence a touch higher), (to a baby spawned of 'de rubbah bitch' - <br>De daddy were neglijimous<br>De mama were deflatable<br>De trauma to de infumt<br>Be mos'ly not negatable...<br>the lyrics are all right there on the boxtop<br>the basis for the CrabGrass Baby's song derives from Motorhead's soliloquy in Lumpy Gravy. His bemoaning tha fact of his girlfriend and her friends boozing it up and ripping the seats out of his new Olds is referred to  in the next song The White Boy Troubles (which includes the exclamation 'Mattie Told Mattie', along with 'Tell Me What'd I Say' and 'With A Red Dress On' among the soul music cliches) <br>"The White Boy Trubbles<br>O what a boiden<br>His car's fucked up   (_to the IV chord_) <br>She ripped out de 'polst'ry<br>O' de Ozomobile"<br>>the vocal arrangement is not to be believed.<br>(FZ, Brock, White Willis, Mars)

Like to nominate.... F_shaapp's ,<br>for the 1st 'singin ' thread...<br><br>             wooop tleee aa weee oo eeee oo ee?<br> <br><br>Wipp-diddly-a-daa-weee-yooyooyooyoo... <br>Would you go all the way? <br>Would you go all the way? <br>Would you go all the way? <br>Would you go all the way? <br><br>wooop tleee aa weee oo eeee oo ee oo ee. <br>wooop tleee aa weee oo eeee oo ee oo ee <br><br>Hmmmmm<br><br>Harry-As-A-Boy:  <br> <br>He's so young, and yet, SO WISE! <br><br>De daddy were neglijimous <br>De mama were deflatable <br>De trauma to de infumt <br><br>Wipp-diddly-a-daa-weee-yooyooyooyoo...<br><br>..<br>Repeat ..if need be..<br><br>
