I first heard this song when I was 16. I'm 62 now, and I still like it. On the Dr. Demento album he erroneously attributed the song to folksinger Leslie Fish. When I met her years later I said "I love your song about the cockroach that ate Cincinnati" she said "I didn't write that"!.
I always feel like a little kid when I listen/watch this. He also acknowledged his Syd Barret influence, I Love Syd also very child-like, : ) Thanks Robyn! Thanks "Tiptoeburglar".
I had an album, back when albums were sold, of SNL best skits. This "March comes in", skit was on it. We did not miss the video, because of course there were no Internet videos. Ah, there was no Internet either lol. The one I liked was, "Hi, I'm Ellen ...., I take speed...
The late great John Belushi at his spastically brilliant best...absolutely love how he would throw himself around on that SNL stage...there will never be another comic actor like him again (the same as there will never be another Jackie Gleason, Lou Costello or Jerome "Curly" Howard)...
Geezy peezy. I pasted this page's title into Google, the 2nd hit was screen.yahoo.com/weekend-john-belushi-march-000000303.html. Admittedly, I did have to expend some calories.
I have a policy of not writing emails, etc. after I take an Ambien. Plus I rarely actually post on anything. But, a few times I have disregarded my policy, which is what it looks like I did 5 months ago. Sorry. I wonder what else I wrote that night. Anyway, kinda like "Who's on first?", no video is really needed for this classic.
Most underrated artist of all time
This song brings me right back to the 80's!! I used to love it!! Still do!
Dana Scully with the jokes 😒

Dr Demento Classic!!!!!!!!
Doug Drill wrote the song, I was in the group and the song netted us zilch. Dr Demento was playing it nightly and taking credit for it.
I actually looked up Rose and the Arrangement and got no information.
Taking credit for it?
Go Rams!!! 🏈🐑🐏💪🏻💪🏿
Superbowl halftime show!
No, "Sports Song" by Weird Al.
Nice
So, I'm reading that the parents of the Colorado balloon boy were pardoned today, and of course, I immediately thought of Balloon Man.
Just sacrificed globe of frogs on lp but 120 minutes was life and thankyou being a vegetarian robyn
I'll never eat Cincinnati chili again
Think it could be turned loose on Washington DC. Would need more than a seltzter to cure that heartburn.
Washington D.C. is BENEATH the dignity of a cockroach.
I’m getting Syd Barrett vibes from this.
What the f is this song about?
Great 80s song. Love to hear Flabba play the bass on dis ya one mon seen 💚💛❤

Let me get this straight. He couldn't think of anything else that rhymed with divorce? lol

Triangle Man.
Bought this for 99c at Kemp Mill Records! Cut out Cassette, what a buy!
I love this it's just too catchy for it's own good..

Haaayy! Paul LaBella....where you at?
I saw them in concert in Chicago around 1988. They were great!
One of the few gems that came out in the 90s..
I miss MTV's 120 minutes!
Starry Wizdom ....I want my MTV!
Ironic That He Dies On A March (5th, '82)
I'm pretty sure this is about him giving a guy a handjob in Bryant Park.
yeah balloon man blew up in his face
"Tomatoes, hummus, chickpeas & some strips of skin..."? Would that be lube, then?
why would you have hummus AND chickpeas?
It sounds like it's about you and your uncle. Emotionally stunted at 12 yrs old, huh? Better get help for that, all four of you commentators.
Oh thank god there's a music video for this.
"And I cried, like I cried for you."

sidDkid87 I met a balloonman named Probably Bruce the other day too.

"…and it rained, like a slow divorce."
Michael Love That line has to be one of the best similes ever!
Michael Love Divorced 11 years and I still feel it when I hear that (cuz I got kids and "Visitation")
Best line in the song, inflated rubber hands down.
I had the album (I think) that this was on. It was awesome! I had a Not-Ready-For-Prime-time album. Used to laugh to it all the time.

Now attempt to upload it on to RUclips, wise ass. Your account will be dinged for infringement within the week.
