Hmm... I never got your call, Jon. Sure you have the right number?

I've contacted you on AIM twice this evening to give you the song, TMBJon. You keep ignoring me.

Yeah every time I call you I get a B.S. (busy signal)...

All I'm saying is that I read the title for this topic and went "Huh? Who is Mia?" As in, you know, the girl name.

Yeah, I typed MIA originally and it changed it...

Anyway, I don't remember all the details (those are on the 'Unreleased Songs' discography), but I am aware that it was submitted on a tape alongside "Orgy On My Own". Unfortunately, only this song seems to have been played on the air. Someone just turned up the Dr. D episode where it aired, though the beginning of the song was cut off.

Wow, I always thought it was "mia," too, and that "mia" just referred to the early part of Al's career for some reason.

I don't know if I can respect Weird Al anymore if he's so vehemently anti-mini golf.

He didn't write that song (to my knowledge); I believe it was a Damaskas composition, and he just shared vocal duties with Bill Mumy and Al.

Thanks for all your hard work in turning this up, Lazenby!

Yeah, definitely. Thanks, man!
