We do one of his songs in my band..."The Last Unicorn", originally performed by America for the soundtrack of the animated filim of the same name.
"Chewy, Chewy" by 1910 Fruitgum Company, the flipside of "Green Tambourine"...now *there's* a bad song.

True =Webb, and it should also be pointed out that because of the afforementioned math class incident the song has attained a dimension that I find priceless so I really enjoy it in a very perverse way. (well not like that) esp the version by the four tops. I think they could sing the phone book and I'd listen to it.
and in shame I drop my head and admit to owning the album with chewy chewy on it. What can I say? I was only seven and a "latch–key kid."
THERE SHOULD BE LAWS!!!
