Bit of old song driving me nuts!

Cloudbringer · 08-06-2003, 12:57 PM

Anyone who can help will be showered in gold stars and thanks! LOL

Many years back, a friend told me she'd heard the funniest song about played on the radio and this is all I recall of it. It may have just been some local guy doing it on the local radio station in Florida or someplace else...I don't even remember that much! It was easily 20+ yrs ago she heard it, though.

Ok, I only have part of it and for all I know that' s all there is, but I'd love to find out who did it and where and if there's more to it!

Free the Flamingos!

They can't run away
cuz their legs are made of wire
They can't fly away
when the lawn's on fire

Free the Flamingos!

Ummm, that's all I know....it's about those silly lawn ornaments that were so popular in the 70's I think...but anyway, the song is in my head and it won't go away! LOL

LOL You still haven't found out yet ?

I wouldn't swear to it but it sounds like a Jimmy Buffet song.

Not yet and Bless you for bumping this, as I was looking for it the other day!

I'll post when I do... I started searching the day you posted, but at work I can't spend that much time on those things so I left it and didn't get back... but just last week I was singing that snippet of the song, driving Nacht nuts!

Cloudy, that song still driving you mad!? Jes. I'm sorry for all the pain it must be causing you.

Well.. up until now, every song I didn't know the title of, but did know some of the lyrics, I could just type that tidbit of lyrics in @ Google, and I would find the song I was looking for. But your "Flamingo Song" didn't get any appropriate hits.. Sorry
