I was walkin' down the street on a sunny day
hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
Feelin' in my bones that I'll have my way
hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba

Well, I'm a happy boy (happy boy)
Well, I'm a happy boy (happy boy)
Oh, ain't it good when things are goin' your way? Hey hey

My little dog, Spot got hit by a car
hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
Put his guts in a box and put him in a drawer
hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba

Well, I'm a happy boy (happy boy)
Well, I'm a happy boy (happy boy)
Oh, ain't it good when things are goin' your way? Hey hey

I forgot all about it for a month and a half
hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba
I looked in the drawer and started to laugh
hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba

Dear Bill, There\'s a big male deep bass voice singing \"hubba hubba hubba hubba hubba\" at me in a silly tone, probably wearing a huge cowboy hat and a big mustache, and I\'m really enjoying it. Should I seek help? Thanks, Happy in Holland

Very rare to hear two Dr. Demento songs in a row on RP, rare but not bad...

Love this tune! And always reminds me of the animation that was done several years ago (think I saw it on an animation series called 'Eye Drops' on TechTV). Thanks for playing this, Bill.

Saw these guys at the old Sidetrack Cafe, they were SO MUCH fun. Nothing like the light side of music once in a while. Country Dick came into the crowd and got everyone to sit around him like a campfire setting and well, we sang a couple campfire songs. Too bad Country Dick is no longer with us.

You're missing a couple of "hubbas" there Thanks for the laugh RP. At first, I thought a nereby cube dweller was singing. EDIT: Ok, just read the lyrics. Eww.

i know this is a little late but I'm new to RP. Does anybody know the name of the "band" that was formed about 7 years ago when Country Dick and Mojo Nixon did a tour together. The band also included the guitarist from X and a few other veterns. I saw them at what used to the the Oasis in San Jose, CA and it was one of the best shows I'd ever been to. Damn I miss tgoing to the Beat Farmers shows... one of a kind.
The Pleasure Barons? Dave Alvin did a stint as guitarist with X, but I wouldn't refer to him as THE guitarist from X. If you know what I mean.

You've gotta hand it to someone who can write a song where gargling works into the song rather well. I wonder how many takes they needed when recording that? "Yea, lemme try it again, but I need some more listerine.."

I'm holding the CD from that ensemble right here, and they make no mention of a band name, just Country Dick. It also included porn starlet Candye Kane (she says " Country Dick was the only man who could make me blush" in the liner notes). I too miss the Beat Farmers something fierce, even though I never got to see them live. RIP.

KPIG used to do the "Happy Boy" marathons periodically. Made me really dislike this song. Hearing it only once (once in a while) is much better.

My favorite radio station in Appleton, WI (WAPL) used to play this on their morning show quite frequently. Actually, they probably still do play it, I'm just not there anymore. The absurdity of this song always makes me giggle. \:D/

The good doctor is still out there. Still somewhere on the dial on Sunday night. It does the soul good to listen when you can.

This is one of those songs I've heard of from my friends but had never heard before. Now I see what the buzz was about. Thanks for expanding my collection of references ;)

Kazoo playing and gargling matched by no other song! You don't see much of that around anymore. Hubba et al.
