Subject: "Mr. Saddam" parody of "Mr. Sandman" (from the Gulf War period)?
Written By: WhoDat on 05/27/17 at 2:03 pm
On the radio at some point during the first Gulf War (90-91), there was a superb parody of the old "Mr. Sandman" often played, entitled I believe, "Mr. Saddam", perfectly duplicating the harmony/style of the Andrews Sisters, Chordettes, etc. who performed the original.
A lyric fragment:
"Mr. Saddam... how do you like
The business end of, a surgical strike..."
Now I am stunned to find NOT THE SLIGHTEST TRACE of this hilarious masterpiece on the internet, via Google, youTube, or anything else. Huh? A popular 1990s radio-played song? Lost and unknown? Whah? I mean, you can find utterly obscure wax-cylinder recordings from 100 years ago on youTube...
Only thing I can speculate is that it was completely exterminated by some copyright lawsuit -- yet surely this would have been "fair use parody"?
Anybody remember this or have any info? How can I locate / listen again to this song?
