luke ski: of stan freberg
mc lars: tom lehrer
luke ski: allan sherman
mc lars: spike jones
luke ski: on your fm dial, a flying saucer attack
mc lars: by a purple people eater and a yakety yak

mc lars: in 1970, the radio, saw the birth of
luke ski: “the dr. demento show”!

mc lars: star trekkin’ with some tribbles? nope they ain’t got none
luke ski: cause they’re really dead puppies, and they aren’t much fun

mc lars: with fcc deregulations
luke ski: soon corporations owned all the stations
mc lars: no more novelty tunes to be heard by you folks
luke ski: ‘cept jeff foxworthy tellin’ redneck jokes
mc lars: or adam sandler listing off the whos-whos
luke ski: in a holiday list of celebrity jews
mc lars: but dr. d was still rockin’ his stacks
and playing new independent comedy acts
luke ski: like the four postmen
mc lars: and the arrogant worms, power salad
luke ski: sudden death, and throwing toasters
mc lars: then the great luke ski…
luke ski: hey, that’s me!

luke ski: dare to stupid and bring some laughter!
mc lars: hip-hop’s not dead, it’s just too serious
the underground’s growing, and the labels are fearing this

mc lars: by asking you the following question
luke ski: are you?! –
mc lars: sick and tired of the music they play?
luke ski: on the tv and the radio, every single day?
