Greasy Kid Stuff with Belinda & Hova, Episode # 3 (original airdate: 5/10/08)
This Land is Your Land, Mama! Do we need to say that it’s an archive so it’s too late to enter the contests? Is that too frustrating? Sorry. Hey! We’ll give you something for listening now! If you are one of the first ten people who email us and can tell us what products we shill during the break, we’ll send you a Greasy Kid Stuff sticker, by the fabulous, famous Rodney Alan Greenblat!

Greasy Kid Stuff is delighted to be able to bring you, the reader, and soon-to-be-listener, brand new archives of our radio show that airs out of Portland, OR on 94/7 Alternative Portland. We also DJ the Portland Baby Loves Disco parties, and we are super thankful to Andy “Disco Daddy” Blackman Hurwitz at Baby Loves Disco for making it possible to spread the grease, and to the fab folks at Offsprung for making the archives easily available to a wider audience. This is not your usual children’s music fare: gather the kids, and get ready to hear something seriously greasy. We hope to be posting new shows frequently, so check back often!

Here at Greasy Kid Stuff headquarters, we love us some theme bands. Or maybe we should say, we love us some conceptual bands: bands that choose certain subjects — ice hockey, say, or Harry Potter books, or pirates — as their raisons d’être and set about converting everyone else to their cause over the course of several albums. Such an undertaking requires inspiration, commitment and, yes, passion.
One of our favorite conceptual bands is the Go-Nuts, a group of musicians with a passion for snacking. Individually, they are Kaptain Kornut, the Donut Prince, Korn Dog and the Donut Hole — superheroes who, though lacking in actual superpowers, joined forces to invent a genre known as snack rock. And just what is this snack rock? Well, take a look for yourself: It’s a little ragged, but this live version of “Snik Snak Skaduliak” is a pretty fair statement of purpose.
Almost as great, if you can track it down, is “Eat It All,” the Go-Nuts’ genius Weird Al–style cover of “Break It All” by Los Shakers (Uruguay’s answer to the Beatles).
And remember, folks: Nothing goes better with a great snack-rock song than a great snack like Oreo brand cookies from Nabisco!

Sometimes we complain that we never see any “grownup movies,” putting the blame squarely on parenthood. But, really, we might as well admit we wouldn’t have made it to that Holy Modal Rounders movie anyway. Fact is, we’re just lazy like that.
Still, just knowing the movie is out there, did make us smile and think about one of our favorite songs for kids: the anarchic bluegrass comedy of the Rounders’ “Mr. Spaceman” — which sounds like they grabbed the steering wheel of Johnny Cymbal’s 1963 novelty hit “Mr. Bass Man” and crashed it right into the more earnest “Mr. Spaceman” by the Byrds.
Actually, the Rounders’ “Mr. Spaceman” preceded the Byrds song by a couple years — and, except for the shared title, the songs are completely different. (Well, we suppose they’re both about wanting to get high, in a way. But still.)
We like all three songs, and they’re all swell picks for young listeners. On paper, the Byrds’ “Mr. Spaceman” even seems like a children’s song proper:
Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared.
And “Mr. Bass Man”? Well, that one was covered by the Muppets, so there you go.
But our favorite is still the Rounders’ “Mr. Spaceman.” You can hear the merry twinkle in their eyes. They make space travel (and/or getting high) sound like joyride instead of just a long, strange trip.
And come to think of it, that “ending” is pretty Muppety, no?
Belinda and Hova do radio show for kids and the grownups who want to share music with them. Greasy since 1995. Sometimes we write about the music too.
