Thanksgiving '97. The day Barney was killed

I don't know why YouTube recommended this video, but I'm glad they did.

1. Well that was oddly satisfying

2. Years ago, I read about a dad who was not a fan...

…and wrote his own verse to the annoying song -

I hate him,
He hates me.
Let’s hang Barney
From a tree.

Still makes me laugh.

4. The Rev. Billy C. Wirtz did one called

"The King Gets a Day Job" about Elvis Presley becoming Barney after he died.

(Standard three-chord boogie-woogie.)

The King of Rock 'n' Roll got a new day job
Bigger than he was before
[somethin'-somethin'-somethin'-somethin')
He ain't nothin' but a purple dinosaur

He's goin' like this:

"I love you, you love me
I'm itchin' like a man on a fuzzy tree
Viva, viva Stone Ages!"

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. For some reason, that reminds me

of the Mary Tyler Moore episode about the death of Chuckles the Clown.
