Album: Got to Investigate Silicones (1973)
Play Video

Songfacts®:

  • This song is very clever lyrically, which is not surprising as it was produced by lyricist Bill Heyer and his partner, composer Hank Beebe, although this is probably one they would rather forget. After the overture this is the first number on the album Got to Investigate Silicones, which was the brainchild of the General Electric Silicone Products Department.

    The giveaway is in the dialogue, that and a few other things that appear in its 6 minutes 38 seconds. >>
