Smelly Butt Jones
When we were little, there was this cereal. It wasn't one of the mainstays, like your Cap'n Crunch or anything. It was called Ice Cream Cereal, and it lasted only a short while...probably because it was gross.
Anyhow, they had this commercial. It was a catchy little jingle, sung by a man named Ice Cream Jones. So we, as kids do, came up with our own little version of the song. I believe it went something like this:
"My name's Smelly Butt Jones,
I like to drink your toilet water,
I like to drink your toilet water,
and bring you kids,
my butt skin CEREEEAAAA-LLL"
(Sounds better when you hear it live...and you're 8)
Well, for some stupid reason my brother Joey and I thought we would write this gem down, you know, so we wouldn't forget the lyrics. I believe we wrote it on the back of a white McDonald's napkin. And for some other stupid reason, we thought we'd place this napkin under my father's pillow.
He sooooooo didn't get the joke. We got in trouble.
To this day, I don't know why we put it under his pillow. Or why we thought he would think it was funny. I love the way a child's mind works:
"No, NO! I got a great idea! Let's put it under Dad's pillow! Yeah! He'll totally love it!!! He'll probably hang it up on his bulletin board at work!"
Huh?

why in the hell did you think of that???
I don't know why you put the napkin under your dad's pillow, but I sure feel like having some cereal.
Cripes.
Your Smelly Butt song reminds me of a song my brother and I "composed" around age 8 or so.
It was about the father of two horses named Scout and Silver going to a civil war reanactment thing and shooting bears.
It rocked.
I should start a new blog if only to post the whole song.
kim,
your song sounds a lot cooler.
all our songs were about butts.
L,
I am actually laughing OUT LOUD in my office. Butt skin cereal- giggle. "Let's put it under Dad's pillow!" That's priceless.
