[cheekymonkey1979]

Another Gene Merlino classic: thank you so much for bringing this one to us!

Is it possible to buy these on vinyl? I'd love to have Jimmie Carter says Yes and Kung Fu Bicycles.

@flammaster Jimmy Carter Says Yes and Kung Fu Bicycles (actually the bike one is called Non-Violent Taekwando Troopers) are both available on Itunes. We Are The Men Counting Sheep is so obscure, you'd have to find the vinyl 45 on Ebay or Gemm or somewhere.

one of the best song poems ever. I always thought it was about Vietnam soldiers and their insomnia.

This is one of those "song poems" -- lyrics people send in to a company that has musicians write tunes for them. This is a whole subgenre of music that has a cult following. Check out WFMU's blog, which lists compilations of this stuff and posts MP3s. There are some hilarious songs out there. This is one of the better ones.

You're welcome! I wonder when those lyrics were written.... especially the part about being computerized
