The Witch Doctor

Well, The 0!’s song and dance still looks and sounds swell to the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind, but the IOC is “a bunch of racists” and have given his song and dance the hook offstage. Looks like he now has to find other ways to slip his payback to the Daley machine and its cronies.

Oh, like this is all that surprising. When The 0! isn’t using TOTUS, his best sounds like

Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla bing bang…
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla ,bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla bing bang

All sound and fury, signifying nothing. And that’s on one of his good days!

Hmm, seems like he’s not the only one, eh?

    Who would have thought that a playwrite 400 years ago would pen the words that so accurately depict Teh Won?

Well, Perri, you are still just a pup. πŸ™‚ I suppose you also don’t recall the releases of “Telstar” (http://www.imeem.com/harrymerino/music/z4_nNbgg/the-tornados-telstar/), a HUGE hit for The Tornados, or “Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler)” by The Kingston Trio (http://www.imeem.com/blastmedia/music/I2n3SrKq/kingston-trio-beep-beep-little-nash-rambler/), either, eh? πŸ™‚ (BTW, I drove a Rambler for five years or so. Was a decent lil car.)
