Back in March when I released my 12th album "Needlessly Meta" I finally got my act together and also released it on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and all the other popular music streaming services. Since then, I have been going backwards through my discography, putting one of my previous albums up on those streaming services every two weeks (when I got a paycheck). Having just posted my 3rd album "Carpe Dementia", it left me with a conundrum... what do I do about the content of my first two "Psycho Potpourri" albums, as well as my three B-Sides collections, the 2013 tribute album, and a bunch of other random tracks that had yet to end up on all those fancy-shmancy stream-a-ma-bobs? After a long process of racking my brain, I decided to release a 40-track digital compilation of tracks from all of those things for those streaming services, and call it "Psycho Potpourri Excerpts And Other Stuff". That way, all the people who never buy albums will have access to a decent chonk of tracks from all of those CDs from year's past.“Spam (Let The Pork Be Pork)”
A parody of "Slam" by Onyx, about Spam, food in general,
and paying tribute to "Weird Al" Yankovic and Monty Python
Parody lyrics by the great Luke Ski, © 1996 Luke Sienkowski
SPAM! DUN-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! LET THE PORK BE PORK!
SPAM! DUH-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! WITH A SPOON AND A FORK!
Insane Ian:
Well here's another one, so just sing along, if you're in the mood.
A parody song that was written about food.
They never get defeated, a song just like "Eat It",
Will make a brother really really HUNGRY! (Yum now!)
I'm-a show you how so, fill up your plate and say,
'YEAH, OOH YEAH, YEAH!' It's gonna be great!
Put it in your mouth, move your teeth so you can chew dat!
Have a second course, so you get really fat. Be ruthless.
Exercise your teeth, so you don't become toothless
People who need a cavity search. Ow!
Peace to the brothers who like "Weird Al"!
The man is makin' millions, talkin' 'bout the rye or the kaiser,
The white stuff, my bologna,
Rocky road, taco grande, waffles, and lasagna!
Addicted to spuds, cause they're kinda like yams,
But the stuff I like most is Spam! (Devo as Pepperpot: EEYYUUHH!!!)
SPAM! DUN-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! LET THE PORK BE PORK!
SPAM! DUH-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! WITH A SPOON AND A FORK!
SPAM! DUN-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! LET THE PORK BE PORK!
SPAM! DUH-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH!
(Devo as Pepperpot: I don't want any Spam!) WITH A SPOON AND A FORK!
Devo Spice:
I'm a plate smashin', food mashin', stone col' glutton. OOH!
I ate a rack of ribs because I really love mutton. AAH!
A home cooked meal, or a box of K.F.C.,
You gotta understand it doesn't matter to me.
NEXT COURSE! Time to move on with the meal.
Doritos, Chunky Soup, bouquet of veal,
Meatballs, fish sticks, Peanut Butter Crunch.
By the time I'm done with breakfast it's time for lunch.
Eat a pizza pie, with pepperon-i.
Number three meal, WITH SUPER SIZE FRIES!
Vanilla, (Yup!) chocolate (Ah!), strawberry, banana
Split served up on a big graham cracker.
A pickle is Vlasic. A Coke, it's a Classic. (Yum!)
By the time I'm done my size is Jurassic.
Life is worth livin' when I'm getting it delivery,
So come to my place, I'll be stuffin' up my face with SPAM!
... DUN-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! LET THE PORK BE PORK!
SPAM! DUH-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! WITH A SPOON AND A FORK!
SPAM! DUN-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! LET THE PORK BE PORK!
SPAM! DUH-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH!
(Devo as Pepperpot: I don't like Spam!) WITH A SPOON AND A FORK!
Luke Ski:
I'm a big boy, growin' up like jungle plants.
Hurry up and give me some fast food until I'm bustin' my pants.
Can't you see that I'm famished, for Twinkies so spongy.
I am a heavyweight! (AND STILL I'M SO HUNGRY!)
Don't take no food from out my mouth, because I bite when I chews
Many cashews and booze, I won't stop 'til I spews on your brand new shoes
Um, excuse me. Here's my order. Ten orders of fries and,
A dozen apple pies and, seven Shamrock shakes,
and eleven diet sodas without ice and, a sundae would be so appetizin'!
Bu-bu-bu-but wait I'm not done! I want a bacon burger on a sesame bun,
And some meat in a can, you all know the plan.
B-boys make some noise, and just… eat SPAM!
...DUN-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! LET THE PORK BE PORK!
SPAM! DUH-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! WITH A SPOON AND A FORK!
SPAM! DUN-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! LET THE PORK BE PORK!
SPAM! DUH-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH! WITH A SPOON AND A FORK!
(Monty Python Vikings in background begin chanting "Spam Spam Spam Spam" )
SPAM! DUN-DUH-DAH! DUN-DUH-DAH!
(Luke as Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam;
egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam;
spam-... SHUT UP!... SHUT UP!...)
