Is anybody else counting? We're up to show #490, folks.
That means Hour Of Slack will reach 500 in July.
In honor of the occasion, I've written this little song here
you can add to the hymnal...if you like...
Well there's a great ol' show
On the radio
And it's called the Hour of Slack
It's been on the air since eighty-five
Man you'd think the host would crack
He goes by the name of Reverend Ivan Stang
He's a rant-spewin' preacher for "Bob"
And if it weren't for the show on the radio
He just might have a conspiracy job
Well...I've...got...
one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred
five hundred hours of slack
and if it weren't for the fact
that I got em for free
I'd probly ask for my money back
If I played em all like back to back
It'd take me about three weeks
I'm talkin twenty-four hours
For twenty-one days
Without a single break for takin' leaks
I'd hear all about the word o' "Bob"
And the Church of the SubGenius
And Connie...and Janor...and KPFA...
And all kindsa really weird stuff
Well...I've...got...
one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred
five hundred hours of slack
and if it weren't for the fact
that I got em for free
I'd probly ask for my money back
Well 500 shows in ten or so years
Is a whole lotta radio
But on the fifth of July, 1998
They say the whole thing's gonna blow
And when they take me up on those pleasure ships
And they pass out the bags of 'frop
I sure hope they'll play them old Hour of Slack tapes
So we can listen to em all non-stop!
And...we'll...have...
one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred,
five hundred hours of slack
six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred, nine hundred,
one thousand hours of slack
eleven hundred, twelve hundred, thirteen hundred, fourteen hundred
fifteen hundred hours of slack (start fade)
sixteen hundred, seventeen hundred, eighteen hundred, nineteen hundred
two thousand hours of slack...
(continue counting until you pass out)
