The Lyrics

My mother named me Dick
Thank a family tree that's generations thick
Tried to tell you but you
Look at me like someone with this nomenclature fate
Must abbreviate

As a kid I cried
They teased me bitingly, it made this Dick decide
I should change my name and hide it from the crowd
Never whip it out
But I'm finished as a closet case
Now I'm out and proud!

I'm a DICK
Not a Richard
Not a Rick
Get the picture?
Call me Dickie and you're toast
And Rich I hate the most
Mr. Clark
And Van Dyke
You know what this is like
'Cause now I wouldn't go by any other name

So make your jokes, my friend
I have heard them all and surely will again
Laugh it up, you think your wit's so penetrating
So you use up every ounce
But YOUR name's always Dickless and mine's GOT IT WHERE IT COUNTS

I'm a DICK
Not a Richard
Not a Rick
Get the picture?
Ricky's just for limes and flirts
And Rich describes desserts
Mr. Dale
And Vitale
I'll always be your pal
You know I wouldn't go by any other name

I'm a DICK
Tracy fan
Mr. Enberg, you da man
Wish I had me a nickel
For each joke 'bout Mr. Trickle
Cheers for Sargent and York
And Butkus ain't no dork
You know we wouldn't go by ANY other name!

[Cheney sings:]
Woo-oo-hoo - Woo-oo-hoo
[Gephardt sings:]
Woo-oo-hoo - Woo-oo-hoo
[Cavett sings:]
Woo-oo-hoo - Woo-oo-hoo
[Van Patten sings:]
Woo-oo-hoo - Woo-oo-hoo

First, nice contrast to the original. Second, outstanding innuendo throughout (particularly liked "bitingly" and "penetrating")--glad you weren't penalized for it; hope this one gets bigger and bigger.

555 for dealing with such an odd subject matter. I hate calling people dick. I know a woman named fanny, a British army colonel named Bastard (how do his subordinates make up names behind his back I wonder, after all you can't top that?) and a woman who made her fiancee change his name before they were wed. His last name? Topless.

Spaff, Well I see you weren't "dickin" around with this one. DKTOS so I can't vote but I appreciate the sentiment. When I was young I had almost all red hair and one big "splotch" area that was PARTICULARLY RED for some reason. My older brother's friends used to see me playing basketball in the driveway and say "Red on the head like the dick on a dog" or call me "Wilt the Bone" (Wilt Chamberlain was called "Wilt the Stilt" at the time). To which my 10 or 11-year old self always had some clever, snappy, repartee to return, such as: "Oh, yeah, well FECK you!!" 2nd story: I did a tax return once for a client at H&R Block whose name was, and I'm not kidding, "Richard Stroker". And he was actually kind of a "Dick". And I REALLY wanted to ask him, "Mr. Stroker, is it alright if I call you 'Dick' ? " But I chickened out... The next year he came into another office where a friend of mine, Orville, happened to be Supervisor. I was sitting at the desk behind Orville's doing research and he says to this "Dick", "Well, I see Paul Robinson did your return last year", fishing for a complement for me. Well, the guy goes, "Yeah, He didn't know diddly", not recognizing me. Well, I start snickering and almost falling out of my chair and Orville turns around with this big, sh*t-eating grin on his face and he's turning bright-red and can hardly keep from just busting up in front of the guy. Of course, I kept making little humming sounds and clicking my pencil and such during the whole interview to make sure Orville didn't have any chance to regain his full composure. I don't think "Dick" even noticed anything was going on. OH...Mr. Stroker, I mean "Dick", if you're reading this, I don't work at Block anymore, but you still are a "Dick". But I didn't disclose any of your confidential tax data to anyone, if you might be worried about that. I might be a wise-ass, but I still have some ethics.

C4P: You know it's not "everyone" - it's just that jerk who runs the zip sorter. And if either of you calls me that again, heads are gonna be severed.
Paul Robinson - January 22, 2004 - Report this comment
Spaff - No, even though at 53 I can still play a little b-ball I'll pass on the "Wilt the Bone" nickname. The original "Wilt" is dead and the "Bone"...well, not dead yet anyway. But thanks for asking...

Your purile innuendo, as Claude Purez so brilliantly pointed out, 'stands out' all through this gem. 'Your name's always Dickless and I got it where it counts'-priceless. I saved this on my 3 and-a-half-inch floppy, hopefully it won't spread a virus!

Once again, you da man. The master of innuendos, double entendres and now proud to be a DICK. Sorry 'bout being so late, I just finished my take on this song, called 'Grinch' which was already done on this site once, but I'm gonna post mine anyway and see how it stacks up. Once again, you da man.

As long as we're trading Dick stories... I knew a man named Dick Forest, whose name inspired the comment: "You're a nymphomaniac's dream."
Also, in the early '90s I played with three dicks at one time (translation: I was in three musical groups whose leaders were all named Dick).

Finally read this now... the innuendo is very clever - you're disturbingly good at this :) The Richard Stroker story kinda reminds me of a smug Christian Union guy at my university who wrote to a Uni magazine to "clarify the view of the CU" on Christian dating. He didn't seem to be big on the concept of independent thought... It made me less angry when I considered that the guy's name was Topless.

Thanx, Looney 2nz (again) & Pippin & Jeffaroo (again) & Ralphing Brat (again) - and Johnny Dangle for the lovely medal.
Merry: I've had a number of "radio people" tell me that it's unlikely a parody over two minutes will receive airplay, so I'll occasionally bow to the broadcast gods and cut a verse, bridge, chorus, or combination of the above. (Of course, sometimes I'll just say screw 'em, and write a frickin' novel.)
Sweet Indigo: What a coincidence - I knew a girl named Christian who introduced me to topless dating.

The taboo sexual meaning of the name "Dick", as well as association with Messrs. Nixon and Simmons, are what keep "Richard" from being a popular name in the US nowadays. Oh, by the way, my dad goes by Dick, and so does my mechanic. 5s.
