Fred Blassie - Pencil Neck Geek

[@Toadermcgee]

This brings back memories. I heard this for the first time 45 years ago on the Dr. Demento show.

[@megatherion2695]

I had the Dr. Demento album when I was a kid....this song was on it

[@Czech6ix]

Amazingly enough, my wife has never heard this. I just played this and sang along with it....she's staring at me now.

[@jasonrodgers9063]

!!! Good for you!! Sounds like an interaction between me & my beloved late wife!

I don't know why but my brain remembered this song after being stored in memory for over 30+ years. I just tried looking it up and found this! I remember about 25% of this song, but man what a great trip down memory lane, thanks!

[@vladimirputindreadlockrast812]

30 years? It's been easily over 45 years for me. I listened to it late at night on the Dr. Demento Show on my transistor radio, in bed, on AM stations. It was probably either WKBW (Buffalo) or WPTR (Albany).

[@waxweb]

You have a brain like mine. I sympathize completely! 🤪

[@torockchick]

I'm with you Tammy, I had a cassette tape given to me by an old friend that was full of Dr. Demento songs, and this was one of them on that tape. Sadly that cassette tape got chewed 😢, and I lost all the songs. Most of them that were on that tape I do remember, and I've spent hours on here trying to find them so I can listen to them over and over again.

[@LuckyBastardProd]

I loved this song, collected comic,s was obsessive with cinema at 7 and even played the trumpet, but I never considered myself a nerd or geek, in-fact i can draw a line from this song to the punk rock stuff I started listening to not much longer after this song. Bands like The Dickies or The Cramps .

[@DavidBDavis-lz7bt]

I had a copy of this album in the '80s... enjoyed the hell out of it. Great tunes like "U.S. Male" and "King of Men" and spoken-word pieces like "No Bout Adoubt It". I forget the name of it off the top of my head, but there's also an interview where Blassie goes off on someone who tried to get in his face. It's a real gem.

[@merkursderverdson5984]

Adam Schiff loves this song.

The idea of Freddie Blassie's father walking through the door pale and shook up because his neighbor gave birth to a geek is hilarious. He also calls John Tolos an asshole on this record if I'm not mistaken. No wonder Andy Kaufman loved him.

"Hey, morning, Cicely. Chris in the Morning with your wake-up call. I bopped that snooze alarm bit too much myself this morning. I was up partying with Chef Adam, grooving on his hospitality. You know, being plied with fine food always puts me in mind of the slammer... 'cause food was jumpin' in there too. High fat, but nice and salty. I think the worst deprivation in there was my music. Radio belonged to my cell mate, the blond hammer, and he was into that jazz fusion thing at the time. I'll tell you what, enough Spyro Gyra, and you're hoping you'll get killed in a knife fight. Anyway, I used to sit around thinking about... all the songs I wanted to hear when I got out, and this is one of them. First song I played on that Kmart turntable my first day of freedom. It'll never sound as good as it did that day. Tell you that right now. "

Ticks me off that you can't find this on ITunes. I was 15 back in 1976 I'd sit up late at night, radio on, ears wide open, enveloped by the novelty tunes played by Dr Demento. I was hooked! What a plethora of entertainment. I was such a dementite! When I'm rocking a Playlist in my vehicle, that Playlist will have a novelty tune every 5th tune. I call it "cleansing the pallet". Passengers are always taken back during the cycle. They quickly focus in. Why..... the sheer entertainment value of novelty music has that effect and is accented by incorporating it into a serious play list. Hence why I call it cleansing the pallet because that's what it 9. "omg, where do you find this stuff"! Another dementite is born.

PENCIL NECK GEEK (Pete Cicero / Martin Margulies) Freddie Blassie Back when I was a kid, life was going swell. Till something happened, blew every thing to hell. That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak, Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek." Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck." Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck. And if there's one thing lower than a side show freak, It's a grit eatin', scum suckin', pencil neck geek." You see if you take a pencil that won't hold lead, Looks like a pipe cleaner attached to a head, Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks, You got yourself a grit eatin', pencil neck geek. (chorus) Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak, scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique. He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak. Nothin' but a pencil neck geek. Soon the geeks were poppin' up all over town. You couldn't hardly sneeze without knockin' one down. After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick, Just reach for a geek, they'll do the trick. One day we cut one up for fish bait. Learned our lesson just a little bit late. Soon as the geek hit the drink, the water turned red. Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead. chorus Most any night you know where I can be found. Yeah, stomping some geek's head into the ground. So keep the faith 'cause in Blassie you can trust, I won't give up 'til the last geek bites the dust. chorus They say, "these geeks come a dime a dozen." I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplin' the dimes. Its gonna be real hard times for all of these grit eatin', scum suckin', boot lickin', drop kickin', gut grindin', nail bitin', glue sniffin', scab pickin', butt scratchin', egg hatchin', sleezy, smelly, pepper bellied, dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks. Nothing but a pencil neck geek. Pencil neck geek. Pencil neck geek. Pencil neck geek.
