To present the Oscar for "Best Animated Feature Film" at the 77th Academy Awards, actor/comedian Robin Williams went to Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman to whip up a short song which would poke fun at the recent Spongebob Squarepants media fiasco. The song skewered the cartoon denizens of Tinseltown. Unfortunately a nervous TV network nixed the number. Now for the first time you can listen to Marc's demo recording of the song from the night the song was written! Lyrics (Unofficial formatting): Pinocchio's had his nose done, Sleeping Beauty is popping pills The Three Little Pigs ain't kosher, Betty Boop works Beverly Hills Superman is on steroids, Tinky Winky is in the pink Dammit to Hell, wake up and smell! The stink beneath the ink! Chip and Dale both are strippers, Scrooge McDuck is really tight Bugs Bunny is a sexaholic and Snow White has been up all night There's something fishy about Nemo, Batman and Robin share a sink Winnie The Pooh? We know what he's into, the stink beneath the ink! Fred Flintstone is dyslexic, Jessica Rabbit is really a man Olive Oyl is anorexic, and Casper is in the Klu Klux Klan Cinderella is into identity theft, Pocahontas is addicted to craps Jumbo's an over-eater, Josie and The Pussycats dance on laps It's clear the Roadrunner's hooked on speed, Charlie Brown is seeing a shrink! People of America, take a whiff Smokey The Bear just lit a spliff Tom and Jerry are dating N'Sync Oh the stink! Oh the stink! Beneath the ink! The stink! The ink! The stink! The stink beneath the ink! For more info on the circumstances behind the kyboshing of the tune, read more at Reuters and The NY Times (registration required).
