Aamused in Austin, TX

Fortunately (or maybe not) for me I work some place where my own particular brand of insanity is understood and often shared. Just before he left yesterday afternoon BossMan was going on and on about a song that he could not find on the internet--not the version he wanted. It's been re-recorded many times of late. But, the version I remember is from the Dr Demento radio show. I spent a good half hour yesterday hunting up information until I finally landed on this:

Hallelujah, friends and neighbors, here we are from Del Rio, Texas, every morning at five-thirty AM, brought to you by... by... the Pink and Pleasant Plastic Icon Company of Del Rio, Texas, every morning at five-thirty AM in the morning (hallelujah). Friends, now we have word for you from our sponsor, the Pink and Pleasant Plastic Icon Company of Del Rio, Texas (hallelujah)...

I don't care if it rains or freezes

Imagine, friends, the envy of your neighbors when they come in to watch Mitch Miller at your house, and they see the en-tire Holy Family, sitting on top of your television set, with their halos glowing and rotating, easing eye-strain, and bringing in better reception. Friends and neighbors (hallelujah), what better place for a family altar than the top of your television set?

You can buy a Sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a

Goin' ninety, I'm not wary
'Cause I've got my Virgin Mary,
Guaranteeing I won't go to Hell.
(All together now!)

I don't care if it rains or freezes
's long as I've got my Plastic Jesus

There is a short audio file on this page. But, not the whole tune.

If ANYONE can find me an mp3 of the Entire song by as done by The Goldcoast Singers, I promise them hot, wild Monkey sex!

(After I get the MP3, I'll figure out where to find the monkey and how to avoid animal control and PETA followers...)
