Phineas & Ferb Song Demo - "There's a Platypus Controlling Me"

Martin Wrote:

Rough songwriting demo for the ridiculous song "There's a Platypus Controlling Me" from the Phineas and Ferb episode "Brain Drain."
Written by Dan Povenmire, Swampy Marsh, Martin Olson and Kaz Propuolenis.
Performed by Dan Povenmire and Martin Olson.
Martin said the first two lines, then Dan "sang" the rest as Doof, and Dan and Martin overdubbed the callouts.
Demo produced by Martin Olson.
Written in an hour, recorded lo-fi in Dan's office at Disney using Garageband and no mics. I think Swampy also contributed to the lyrics.

Lyrics:

Vanessa: Dad?
Doof: Hi, Vanessa!
Vanessa: Dad, what are you doing?
Doof: Well I'll be honest I don't really understand
But I fell down this hill and I got glue on my hands
Now I got records on my fingers
Kids: Whaaaat?
Doof: Records on my fingers
I got records on my fingers and I just can't stop
Kids: Don't stop
Doof: I can't stop I got a platypus controlling me
Kids: WHAAAAT?
Doof: I got a platypus controlling me
Now let me sum it up
It was a strange set of circumstances
Kids: Strange set of circumstances?
Doof: I fell down the hill, I got glue on my hands now I got records on my fingers
And I just can't stop
Kids: DON'T STOP DON'T STOP
Doof: Well I would if I was able
there's a platypus controlling me he's underneath the table
Kids: There's a platypus controlling him—WHAAAT?

Kid: Oh I get it, platypus is a metaphor for whatever is keeping you down

KIDS: Corporations are a platypus
The government's a platypus
Your teacher is a platypus
Weird Kid: My teacher is a panda

KIDS: Society's a platypus
My parents are a platypus
The media's a platypus
It's all just propaganda

We've all got platypus controlling us
Doof: No just me
KIDS: We've all got platypus controlling us
Doof: I'd stop if I was able
KIDS: We've all got platypus controlling us
Doof: I'm not speaking metaphorically
the platypus controlling me is underneath the table

Oh wait, no, he's gone!
Heyyy! There's no platypus controlling me...
There's no platypus controlling me!
