I know embedding is disabled, but it's still great, so click and watch it on YouTube - you'll hear THAT tune. Again and again... My name is Elmer J.

Heard an album of Scott's music, and this was still my fav. Though 'Dinner music for a pack of hungry cannibels' is still s good one. Oh, and find the 'Animaniacs in the toy store' version. It lives up to the classic. |
