Friday Funnies from a MATCOM cub reporter
http://www.mosnews.com/news/2006/04/26/breakbottles.shtml

n St. Petersburg, Russia, a young Russian Air Force paratrooper, fresh home from his two years of military service, was celebrating his birthday with friends when one apparently asked if he thought he could break a brick over his head. Our Trooper went to look for a brick, but unable to locate one, he opted instead for an empty beer bottle. However glass bottles are not deemed quite the challenge of a brick, so he went for quantity - - - as he was breaking the 24th bottle - - - on his head, he finally knocked himself out - - -
==========================

On this day in 1958, "The Witch Doctor" hit No. 1 as written by songwriter and singer Ross Bagdasarian (who recorded the song under the name David Seville)- It was one of the first if not the first to use the unusual technique of recording the singer's voice at a different speed than the music. Ross Bagdasarian topped the charts again at the end of the year - with "The Chipmunk Song".

"I told the witch doctor I was in love with you I told the witch doctor I was in love with you And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do He said that

/ D - - - / / A - D - / x /

{Refrain}
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang (4x)

/ D G D A / D G EA D / :

I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice
And then the witch doctor, he gave me this advice
He said that

{Refrain}

{Bridge}
You've been keeping love from me just like you were a miser
And I'll admit I wasn't very smart
So I went out and found myself a guy that's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart

/ A - D - / / / E - A - /

My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you

{Refrain}

{Bridge}

My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you, oh, baby

{Refrain}
