Come to think of it, “Magic Tool Bus” would’a been cute, too.

Okay, but Charles came up with it before Mitt Romney or Rush. Also he was the one who wrote the MMT parody song.

I lay zero claim to a song.

MMT is a good one, but so far, I think “Tokyo Rove” wins the prize.

But what can Charles do with the Who’s “Magic Bus”?


Every day I get in the queue (Too much, the Magic Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I’m so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Your house is only another mile (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, the Magic Bus)
You’ll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I don’t want to cause no fuss (Too much, the Magic Bus)
But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Nooooooooo!

I don’t care how much I pay (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I wanna drive my bus to my baby each day (Too much, the Magic Bus)
*[Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus
Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus
Give me a hundred (Magic Bus)
I won’t take under (Magic Bus)
Goes like thunder (Magic Bus)
It’s a bus-age wonder (Magic Bus)

Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus
I want it, I want it, I want it...(You can’t have it!)
Think how much you’ll save...(You can’t have it!)]
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can’t have it!)

Thruppence and sixpence every day
Just to drive to my baby
Thruppence and sixpence each day
‘Cause I drive my baby every way

Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus...
I want the Magic Bus, I want the Magic Bus, I want the Magic Bus...

I said, now I’ve got my Magic Bus (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I said, now I’ve got my Magic Bus (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I drive my baby every way (Too much, the Magic Bus)
Each time I go a different way (Too much, the Magic Bus)
I want it, i want it, I want it, I want it ...

Every day you’ll see the dust (Too much, the Magic Bus)
As I drive my baby in my Magic Bus (Too much, the Magic Bus)

A note to radio stations out there: Charles has written SCORES of parody songs...and most of them immediately after the events take place.

Not too long ago I saw an interesting documentary about Ken Kesey’s bus tour. That Neal Cassady was completely blasted and yet he was the bus driver!!!

No. They took the raw footage from a film they made on the bus tour and edited it. Very interesting stuff. Apparently Timothy Leary did NOT like the Merry Pranksters at all.
