Listen to the sound clips and it all comes back! ltdiver Demento - now there are some fond memories! I can't listen to it anymore since I had to run that program for several years. Now, "running it" meant pressing a few buttons on a CD player every 20 minutes so the rest of the city could listen to it. Funny story about that - I had to board op that show late one weekend (about 4am) and I fell asleep for roughly 40 minutes and left about 30 minutes of dead-air! Well, those Demento-addicts were not happy with that since I ran out of time and had to start the Sunday morning programming!_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Kennedy 0 #8 February 10, 2004 The Scotsman. Now there's a classic! Too bad they didn't list the lyrics. We'll I'm bored out of my skull tonight and I have the mp3, so what the hell. I'll do it! QuoteWell a scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evenin fair and one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share he fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street about that time two young and lovely girls just happened by and one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye so yon sleeping scotsman so strong and handsome built I wonder if its true what they don't wear beneath the kilt they crept up on that sleeping scotsman quiet as could be lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see and there behold for them to view beneath his scottish skirt was nothing more than god had graced him with upon his birth they marveled for a moment then on said we must be gone let's leave a present for our friend before we move along as a gift the left blue silk ribbon tied into a bow around the bonnie star the scot's kilt did lift and show now the scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees and in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes lad I don't know where ya been but I see ya won first prize but the question is, does anyone know the rest of the verses? .witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Girlfalldown 0 #9 February 10, 2004 You just brought back so many good memories for me! I remember my mom and older brother singing "they're coming to take you away hahahohohehe" to me as a kid to get me to go to sleep. Thanks for the memories.. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #10 February 10, 2004 You're welcome, Girl! I, too, have fond memories of long vacation drives with Dr. Demento's collection of songs playing along. Made for some very funny sing-a-longs between my husband and me as we grinned and laughed together. Ah, the memories indeed.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #13 February 10, 2004 I just didn't feel like posting the ring ding diddle parts. That vesion is 2:27. But I have heard longer versions. (verses added to end) My favorite verse has a line that goes something like: so she placed her hand up neath kilt and cried "that's gruesome" well reach your hand down there again, you'll find it's grew some more.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #15 February 10, 2004 I heard it last time I was in Flanagan's [the single best pub between DC and Charlotte, other than Murphy's in old town Alexandria]. It's a great little dive/seedy joint/irish pub in Bethesda, and they have live music every night except when their soccer team is playing, and sometimes then too. Unfortunately, I'm about 750 miles away now and haven't found a worthy replacement.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caress 0 #16 February 10, 2004 Oh Yes Dr. D. I spent many a night laughing my head off with that show. My parents would just shake their heads, but my sisters and I would be bustin up.Bringing that up reminded me of some really great moments in my life!-Thanks for that!-Caress I've learned....
