As most of you know, I like classical music

Classical this song isn't. But in its own sick, perverted way, it is nonetheless a classic.

Named by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the 100 greatest music videos of all time, this song will always be associated in my mind with my dormitory days at Concordia College in River Forest, Illinois, and our residence assistant, Dave McClean. It was Dave-now Pastor McClean- who introduced several of us to this and other Doctor Demento classics, but was allowed to graduate from CC-RF and subsequently to matriculate at the Seminary anyway.

It was not done, contrary to what many believe, by Alvin and the Chipmunks. In fact, it was recorded by a Hefty bag-wearing duo called Barnes and Barnes. half of which was Bill Mumy- famous as Will Robinson of Lost in Space and, in adulthood and after going bald and have his ears shrunken and surgically lowered, as Lanier of Babylon 5.

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, tonight's musical treat:

Love They Might Be Giants before the song started I was gonna ask if you had ever heard the song.
No, but I saw the movie!
