OK, what about "Mares Eat Oats"? I'm almost positive that I've never heard it either. When I was a boy, we listened to WHOLESOME songs. "Electric Funeral." "Detroit Rock City." "Cat Scratch Fever." I dunno what the hell you people were into. Musta been learning from some flipped-out hippies. Jumbled and jivey indeed.

Mares Eat Oats is from the Fred Mertz/Vaudeville era, I think.

A WITNESS FROM THE CONGREGATION!

Bless you, son!

Each day I'm more and more convinced that I'm just IGNORANT.

Mostly I know that song because my dad told me.

In this case you're not really missing anything.

i actually don't think i ever heard that before the first three times i saw black sabbath. i never got the subtlety either, as ozzy said "NOW WE'RE GOING TO SING A SONG ABOUT SMOKING FUCKING REEFER" or whatever before the song.

Haha, he always does that! On the album version of "Snowblind," you just hear a whispered "cocaine," but on Speak of the Devil, he's like, "COCAAAAAAAAAAINE!!!" Then w/ "Flying High Again," it's "KEEP ON SMOKIN' THEM JOINTS!!!"

you know what's fun to sing to that melody?

whales eat eels and seals eat eels but little squids eat oysters...

or

freud was bald and marx was fat and hitler had no testes...

I heard Bob Hope/Bing Crosby sing that on a movie once.

I had a Burle Ives record of that when I was a kid. It rocked.

Please, don't let me blind you with the shining light that is my utter hipness.

I'm totally down with Burl. We used to listen to "Goober Peas" in the car when I was like . . . 18?!!

I think I'm gonna walk around saying the freud/marx/hitler thing! Kinda has a ring to it. Reminds me of something my strange friend Adam used to say: "Pablo Picasso is never called an asshole." I never knew what he was trying to say.

They're both lying dead at the foot of the bed,
and neither one knows that the other is dead.
