This Land is Your Land, Mama! Do we need to say that it’s an archive so it’s too late to enter the contests? Is that too frustrating? Sorry. Hey! We’ll give you something for listening now! If you are one of the first ten people who email us and can tell us what products we shill during the break, we’ll send you a Greasy Kid Stuff sticker, by the fabulous, famous Rodney Alan Greenblat!

One of our favorite conceptual bands is the Go-Nuts, a group of musicians with a passion for snacking. Individually, they are Kaptain Kornut, the Donut Prince, Korn Dog and the Donut Hole — superheroes who, though lacking in actual superpowers, joined forces to invent a genre known as snack rock. And just what is this snack rock? Well, take a look for yourself: It’s a little ragged, but this live version of “Snik Snak Skaduliak” is a pretty fair statement of purpose.

Almost as great, if you can track it down, is “Eat It All,” the Go-Nuts’ genius Weird Al–style cover of “Break It All” by Los Shakers (Uruguay’s answer to the Beatles).

And remember, folks: Nothing goes better with a great snack-rock song than a great snack like Oreo brand cookies from Nabisco!

Still, just knowing the movie is out there, did make us smile and think about one of our favorite songs for kids: the anarchic bluegrass comedy of the Rounders’ “Mr. Spaceman” — which sounds like they grabbed the steering wheel of Johnny Cymbal’s 1963 novelty hit “Mr. Bass Man” and crashed it right into the more earnest “Mr. Spaceman” by the Byrds.

Actually, the Rounders’ “Mr. Spaceman” preceded the Byrds song by a couple years — and, except for the shared title, the songs are completely different. (Well, we suppose they’re both about wanting to get high, in a way. But still.)

We like all three songs, and they’re all swell picks for young listeners. On paper, the Byrds’ “Mr. Spaceman” even seems like a children’s song proper:

Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared.

And “Mr. Bass Man”? Well, that one was covered by the Muppets, so there you go.

But our favorite is still the Rounders’ “Mr. Spaceman.” You can hear the merry twinkle in their eyes. They make space travel (and/or getting high) sound like joyride instead of just a long, strange trip.

And come to think of it, that “ending” is pretty Muppety, no?
