Over in the Silver Age Reviews group at Yahoo, a couple of guys have written some new verses for the Shaving Cream song. I looked it up - the song was written in 1946 and was revived by Dr. Demento in the 80s. Our language taboos have eased considerably in recent decades, so the technique of using rhyme and meter to suggest a rude or profane word doesn't have the same transgressive thrill it did in the 40s, but the song is still fun. Here's what they wrote; who can add another new verse?

Charlie Boatner:


I've started to read 'bout the Phantom;
I think that his real name is Kit.
He'd like to hunt crooks with his wolf-friend,
but dogs stop at each pile of sh-

-aving cream! Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you’ll always look keen!


Spider-Man used to fight Morbius --
A vampire without being bit.
The comics code changed not much later,
but Spider-Man still can't say sh-

-aving cream! Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you’ll always look keen!


Angel was one of the X-Men.
From panel to panel he'd flit.
But Banshee and Storm could do much more,
Leaving Warren to feel just like sh-

-aving cream! Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you’ll always look keen!



Brad Walker:


The Empire, by me, is still Secret;
A fact I'm not loath to admit.
As soon as Cap whispered, "Hail Hydra,"
I knew it had all gone to sh-

-aving cream! Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen!


They just paroled Orenthal Simpson
The one whom the glove did not fit
He just better steer clear of Batman
Or be up to his eyebrows in sh-

-aving cream! Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen!


You've heard that they're bringing back DuckTales.
These birds are not lacking in grit.
So Uncle Scrooge gets all the money,
And Donald Duck gets all the sh-

-aving cream! Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen!


I plan to post a link to this thread back to the Yahoo group. Anybody who subscribes to a group called Silver Age Reviews would probably like this place.
