30 something years later and I cannot hear "poppies," "lobotomy," "Yukon Jack," or "wizard" without thinking of this song. Also, I can't help but think "neon when" people talk about signs.

I taped this off KMET myself back in the day so I’d completely forgotten there was a crappy chopped up version. So great to stumble on this just now but one question: what happens at the end of the video clip? It’s almost like DQ and SP climb into some sort of medieval starship 🤣 🤣

So the last time I heard this song was maybe in 81 or 82 in Los Angeles! It was a favorite of mine. My parents gave me a small portable radio that they let me listen to at night in bed. I think I was 8 or 9? Anyways my father thought Dr. Demento would be great for a young developing mind. In any event, rediscovering this song in 2022 and truly "understanding" the lyrics, and all the references is just mind-blowing to me. I have only ever heard this unedited version.

Those of us old enough to remember the original before 1985 when it was edited will always be beholden and have a place in our heart for this original version. Brings back old memories of great times and the Dr. Demento Show. I miss those old days.

No offense to whoever made the visual but I can't stand looking at it so I scroll down to the comments while it plays, so can any body till me what I am looking at...what old movie could possibly go with the song? My imagination could come up with a lot of funny animation in fact Riverside Community College comes to mind with their annual Festival of Animation.

seeDiersoil crossrowds I think the movie is Man of La Mancha. It's a musical about Cervantes putting on a production of Don Quixote in prison starring himself; and it's where the "Dream the Impossible Dream" song he keeps quoting is from. He later had to remove that line from the recording because of a copyright dispute, which is why most of the other versions of this song on KZitem are missing that line. So, as far as visuals to go with the song go, it's pretty ironically clever.
