I can't believe I actually remember this song...

As soon as I started to listen to it, it came back to me...

And even the name "Nervous Norvus"...

I learned about him, and Spike Jones, and Ben Gay and The Silly Savages, and a host of other novelty song performers who performed before my time, thanks to a guy I used to listen to on the radio back in the mid seventies...

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's time once again for....

POINTLESS TRIVIA TIME!!!

Among the novelty groups regularly featured on The Dr. Demento Show was a duo billed as Barnes and Barnes...

Neither one of them was named Barnes...

For 10,000 dollars and the car...

What was their classic novelty hit song?

And for the all expense paid two week vacation for two in beautiful Puerto Vallarta....

What was the name of the well known 60's era child actor who comprised one half of this musical comedy duo?

And as always, no googling and no help from our studio audience...

Fish Heads!

The video stars Bill Paxton

Since you're buying I'll take a Taurus SHO.

(And yes I did that without googling)

Fish Heads....

Is....

CORRECT!!!!

Among other things, rolly polly fish heads have the good taste never to be seen drinking cappuccino in Italian restaurants with oriental women...

But...

While Bill Paxton was in the video, he was not part of Barnes and Barnes (two other guys, including the well known 60's child actor..)

So, that's one down, and over to you, Kitty Carlisle....

I did not say he was in the group. In fact he was largely unknown when he did the video. Shortly after he started landing roles

That would be Bill Mumy aka: Will Robinson of "Lost in Space Fame".
