Is this the Weird Al tune, that's taking the piss out of the Doors? Gotta say, the backing track is spot-on.

ETA: And his vocals are pretty reminiscent of Zappa's style.

OMG BOS Steve Goodman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the egg scrambler, with a Seal-a-Meal carrying case,
A set of presidential commemorative plates
So I could eat my eggs off the President's face,
A Minute Mender, and a needle that'll knit or crochet,
And an autographed photograph of Rin Tin Tin at Six Flags Over Burbank.

I remembered I was dreaming, so I gave a mighty cheer.
When I awoke, it was no joke, 'cause all that shit was here.
So if you fall asleep with the TV on, let me tell you what to do:
Tear the telephone out of the wall unless you want it to happen to you.
You'll get the Vegematic, and the Pocket Fisherman too,
Illuminated illustrated history of life,
And Boxcar Willie with a Ginzu knife,
A bamboo steamer, and a smokeless ashtray too
And an all expenses paid weekend for three at Six Flags Over Burbank.

the original is part of an ouevre that I found so so disturbing -- really, an entire generation that related to being losers and creeps? it makes '80s "mope-rock" seem positively uplifting -- and so spoofing it in that fashion strikes me as quite spot-on.

The Benzedrine Monks Of Santa Domonica - "(Theme From) The Monkees"
...which I got from Mike

The Little Girls - "Earthquake Song"
...which contains the line couplet:  It's [the earthquake] gonna kill my mom & dad, they were the best I ever had
But they better not blame me, 'cuz it's not my fault.

heard most of it in the car on way to office.  Stopped for coffee on the way, but had to sit in my car and listen to the whole craigslist song!  Wild indeed, and enjoyed the multiple Doors riffs.  I've always enjoyed comedy records, and this was like listening to KPIG's 5:15 follies!
