I woke up Monday morning at 10:00 am, read the news headline 'Disney to acquire the Marvel Comics franchise for $4 billion', and immediately got an idea for a song. By 3:30 pm, the song was written. I called Tom Smith, and with his assistance I got a rough demo recorded by 6:30 pm to present to the powers that be at FuMP. On Tuesday, they approved, and via the graciousness of Devo Spice, Rob Balder, Possible Oscar, and Steve Goodie, room was made for me to post the song on September 4th. Wednesday night I went to Carrie Dahlby's apartment and recorded her vocals. Thursday morning Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad mixed and mastered the song. Which brings us to Friday, when the new song "Marvel Poppins", which is a parody of a song whose title is one word with 14 syllables, was posted at the Funny Music Project website for free download. I went from song idea to finished posted track in 4 days. I believe that's a record for me. I hope it goes viral. I also hope some kind of fan video manifests for this. If I wasn't so busy moving, I'd make one myself. Anyway, please tell your comic book loving friends to check out "Marvel Poppins", and I'll see you all again in 7 1/2 weeks.
Yes, super heroes owned by Marvel now are owned by Disney.
All the freakin' fanboys are all throwing such a tizzy.
Spider-Man left Mary Jane for Ms. Maguire, Lizzie.
Super heroes owned by Marvel now are owned by Disney.
Because of the recession Marvel comics was a wreck.
Then one day Mickey came along and wrote us a big check.
And now the mutants aren't the tourists roaming Disneyland,
And Iron Man's in rehab, and he's dressed as Peter Pan.
Oh, super heroes owned by Marvel now are Disney's bulk sales.
Punisher and Pinocchio are gonna go and hunt whales.
Uncle Scrooge and Bruce Banner will do a show called "Hulk Tales"
Super heroes owned by Marvel now are Disney's bulk sales.
Bruce Banner Banner Banner SMASH HULK SMASH!
Bruce Banner Banner Banner SMASH HULK SMASH!
Bruce Banner Banner Banner SMASH HULK SMASH!
Bruce Banner Banner Banner SMASH HULK SMASH!
Fantasic Four is staying at Seven Dwarves' residents.
Captain America hangs at The Hall Of Presidents.
Jessica as Electra, Roger Rabbit says, "Whoo-hoooooo!"
And Belle the beauty got confused 'cause now her Beast is blue!
Oh, super heroes owned by Marvel, Disney has acquired us.
We must go along with it or else the mouse will fire us.
X-Men are the Jonas Brothers, Storm is Miley Cyrus.
Super heroes owned by Marvel, Disney has acquired us.

Carrie Poppins: You know I was going to suggest doing a crossover with "The Secret Of NIMH", but that's going a bit to far, don't you think?
Burt Ski: Indubitably.
[singing:]
Ghost Rider's in the Haunted Mansion, hangin' with Stan Lee, ("Excelsior!")
And you'll be Finding Namor out at EPCOT in the Seas.
And if they use it carefully, it could be enterprising.
[spoken:]
Burt Ski: For example?
Carrie Poppins: Ah, yes?
Burt Ski: "With great power comes great merchandising!"
[SFX: Wolverine claws 'SNIKT!']
Burt Ski: Oh, just look at my cute little talking Wolverine Stitch doll!
Wolverine Stitch: You got a problem, bub? Meega nala kwishta! Hee hee hee hee hee!
[singing:]
'Caaaaaaause, super heroes owned by Marvel now are owned by Disney.
All the freakin' fanboys are all throwing such a tizzy.
If it gets too crappy, you can always switch to D.C.!
Super heroes owned by Marvel now are owned by Disney!
