The Lyrics

Dedicated to “Red Eye Radio” host Gary McNamara and his last day of high school, in May 1973.
A talk show host; a school day saying,
Enjoyed the most, how was he playing?
Last day jitters made him yell a “Yee-haw!”

While in his youth, he disliked schooling,
And yet he proved, girls got him drooling,
Fifty years since, he still knows how he feels…

Hear that Red Eye Radio,
Final school day, it is known,
If he hollers, tape that show,
His last high school day!

Girls excited him at sight,
Dreamt about them every night,
Decades later, AmIRight,
Knows what he did say!

Toads licked; did it,
Playboy; hid it,
Hot girly? Kissed it!
Gary McNamara swinged it!

Hear that Red Eye Radio,
Final school day, it is known,
If he hollers, tape that show,
His last high school day!

Excellent work as always, Fedora Fred! Once again you use a completely irrelevant topic as subject matter for a parody using a song that no one else has ever heard of. And of course, you talk about Gary Quacknamara and his last day of high school, as if it was the most important thing that ever happened. Just curious, why do you find these irrelevant topics so endlessly entertaining?

Heh, I’ll give you credit for at least acknowledging what the rest of us are thinking, even if you insist on using my name to do so. Enlighten us: what do you get out posting your repeat-a-thons? Pretty much like telling the same old joke over and over isn’t it?

I keep using the same ephemeral topics because, repeating them makes you remember it long after they’ve stopped being relevant. Notice the pattern of the four main topics I have used, and for how long I used them: Beat the Clock/300 Boy Scouts (May-September 2022), Dish Network (September 2022), Red Eye Radio (January-May 2023), and Arby’s (August-October 2023). All other parody topics featured assorted news events, films, people, and products with TV ads, for topics. This includes George & Germaine Briant, the Powerball world record from last year, Bob Barker’s death, Taylor Swift’s movie concert, and the world’s new hottest pepper. Using these subjects for parodies are a way to remind the readers of this website the significance of pop culture on American life. I analyze it more deeply than the average American, which then provides a reasoning to post these submissions for people that are otherwise too lazy to think about them further. One thing I almost always avoid is political topics, I’m not stupid enough to start a political flame war on this board.

Also, all four aforementioned topics feature hyper-excitement. Particularly with Red Eye Radio; when Gary McNamara told of his last day of high school, he shouted “Yee-haw!” while recalling it, the opposite reaction of all his friends. That merited around fifteen parodies because of the comic humor alone. He also addressed his crush on a high school cheerleader, how he avoided cliques during high school and college, and his high school reunions. No one else would have bothered to write about this, but I did. If I didn’t do it then you would not learn about them. So the parodies are educational and funny, but I wouldn’t expect you to get that.

Look, we get it, your diminished mental capacity requires you to fixate on subjects such as a radio host’s last day of high school, as if his high school crush mattered to the average American, but you fool no one when you call your entries “educational and funny”. Everyone here knows you don’t have anywhere near the creative ability to come up with anything that isn’t autistic, liberal, psychotic, repetitive or stupid. Also, quit your disgusting obsession with the sexual organs of males you’ve never even met, especially if it involves high-schoolers or a group of Boy Scouts that appeared on some 50’s TV show. Do I need to contact Chris Hansen?
