Hi everyone! I've been lurking about for a while but finally felt compelled to register and bump this 5-year-old topic to point out a (presumably intentional?) pun that I never noticed in this song before.
Say, do you remember when I broke in Larry's house
Late at night and
tied his mouth with a rag
Then I dragged him by his ankles to the middle of the forest
And stuffed him in a big plastic bag
If the cops ever find him, who knows what they'd say
But I'm sure if old Lar' were still with us today
He would have to agree with me, it was a
pretty good gag!
I always thought the last line just referred to a gag as in a joke/prank, but today I realized it could also refer to the actual rag/gag in his mouth that killed him!! What a deliciously morbid song.
I realize this joke is old enough to vote but it's funny how things can slip past you for so many years. I didn't even realize the very obvious joke in the title of "She Never Told Me She Was A Mime" until somebody pointed it out in this forum.
