text: Wed like to sing a childrens song for you now, thats unique. Its the only childrens song that weve ever encountered that contains all three of the basic elements of every single childrens song. The first element is simplicity, so that the child can understand the song. The second element is pathos, to prepare the child for later traumatic experiences ... . And the third element is repetition, to give the child a false sense of security 
  I had a dog and his name was Blue
  I had a dog and his name was Blue
  I had a dog and his name was Blue
  I betcha five dollars hes a good dog, too
  Singin here, ol Blue, youre a good dog, you!
  Ol Blue come when I blow my horn
  Ol Blue come when I blow my horn
  A Blue come a runnin through the yella corn
  A Blue come a runnin when I blow my horn
  Singin here, ol Blue, youre a good dog, you!
   What if this song were to be changed? Modified by an unscrupulous modifier of folks songs, whose business it is to make this type of song palatable for the teenage, deliquent, mother-my-dog instinct. And then it would be a rock and roll song. OH, NASTY, UNSCRUPULOUS MODIFIER!!! Now it would sound something...like this:
  Hup two three four five six hey!
  Well I got a dog and is name is Blue
  I betcha five dollars hes a good dog, too
  Oh, Oh, oooo, yow!
  Bow wow bow wow bow wow, ooooo
  Well Blue...
  Why did you leave me sweetheart?
  Blue ... you promised to write
  And I ... I sit I sit ...
  I sit alone at night now
  Sifting sand through my fingers
  Come back Blue, I, I, I
  I want you I, I, I
  I need you ....
  And Im Going To Have You!!!
  Here, Blue!!!
