Wow, it's been a long time since I last heard that song. Wasn't that originally by Johnny Paycheck?

Huh. Interesting. Now I'm wondering where I heard it, because I know I heard it enough to memorize at least part of it. Dr. Demento, maybe?

You are correct, sir. Lots of 80s plays, and a bunch during Gulf War I, and I never heard it again on Dr. Demento, as my local radio station replaced Dr. Demento with "The Grateful Dead Bootleg Concert Tapes" 'hour.'
