Today as I was updating the StalloneZone<\/strong> and listening to 70’s music<\/strong>, a song came on that I hadn’t heard in years.\u00a0 “Timothy”<\/strong> was a one-hit wonder <\/strong>for a group called The Buoys<\/strong>.\u00a0 It peaked at #17<\/strong> which is pretty amazing considering that many stations banned it because of it’s references to cannibalism<\/strong>!\u00a0 You read that right, cannibalism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Written by Rupert “The Pina Colada Song” Holmes<\/strong>, it tells of three miners<\/strong> trapped by a cave-in<\/strong> and when the rescue team<\/strong> finds them there are only two<\/strong>.\u00a0 Although it’s never explicitly said<\/strong> that the two ate the third<\/strong>, the lyrics make it pretty clear.<\/p>\n Trapped in a mine that had caved in Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go? Hungry as hell no food to eat Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you I must have blacked out just around then Of course when radio station managers <\/strong>realized that the song was about cannibalism<\/strong> they’d pull it from rotation, but by then it was too late.\u00a0 Kids were calling in to request it.\u00a0 Stations that refused to play “Timothy”<\/strong>, faced the fact that the competition would.\u00a0 Word of mouth continued to spread and “Timothy”<\/strong> rose up the charts.<\/p>\n I can remember it was the talk of all my friends who thought the song was too cool.\u00a0 Yeah, eating a co-worker is cool<\/strong>.\u00a0 What can I say?\u00a0 We were kids.\u00a0 Although I have to admit I still like the song.\u00a0 You might too and you can listen to it here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today as I was updating the StalloneZone and listening to 70’s music, a song came on that I hadn’t heard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","category-trivia","comments-off"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3887"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19935,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3887\/revisions\/19935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nAnd everyone knows the only ones left
\nWere Joe and me and Tim
\nWhen they broke through to pull us free
\nThe only ones left to tell the tale
\nWere Joe and me<\/p>\n
\nTimothy, Timothy, God why don’t I know?<\/p>\n
\nAnd Joe said that he would sell his soul
\nFor just a piece of meat
\nWater enough to drink for two
\nAnd Joe said to me, “I’ll have a swig
\nAnd then there’s some for you.”<\/p>\n
\nTimothy, Timothy, God what did we do?<\/p>\n
\n‘Cause the very next thing that I could see
\nWas the light of the day again
\nMy stomach was full as it could be
\nAnd nobody ever got around
\nTo finding Timothy
\nTimothy…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
