Stupid songs are absolutely mind killers...

I remember a german band called Trio who sang the song "Da-da-da". This song was THE #1 hit in 13 countries all over the world including Germany itself. The text was in german and went so:

Da-da-da, Du liebst mich nicht, ich lieb Dich nicht,
Da-da-da, ich lieb Dich nicht, Du liebst mich nicht,
Da-da-da, ...

Then we have the Chicken-Song and the Ketchup-Song which both were great hits. I've learned that the most people (around 90%) over the world are absolute stupid beings. Their mind is empty, they are crazy, they are nuts, they are the killing point to our society!!!

Real good artist try to compose really good songs. They invest more than 2 weeks for a simple song to get the optimum out of it...
And then there's coming a HOBO making a kind of crap in 5 minutes and get the world domination with it. I hate them because they are destructing the sense of music. They have turned an art to a fake. I tend to say that those songs have not to be allowed to be played. It's a kind of survival question...

Please, don't make the people more stupid than they are!

It's great to see such love for Steve Allen. I had the pleasure of knowing and learning from the man and can say he was highly influential in my own musical career.

However, as much as I can understand where you could see "Bent Fabric" as being a typical "Steverino" joke, it really wasn't. Bent Bjerre Fabricius was the real name of the Russian composer/songwriter who wrote not only Alley Cat but many other tunes as well.
Steve would probably say that he enjoyed saying the man's name as much as playing his song.

Oh, and Tom... (and others)
the song you're trying to recall was actually called "Three Little Fishies" ("and they swam and they swam right over the dam!")

You guys are a lot of fun! I love the memories you're bringing me (and how you're challenging my chops!)

Thank you Mediakid for setting me straight on Bent Fabric. I don't know where I got the idea it was Steve. I guess it just sounded like a name Steve would make up for a novelty composition.
