Ah, the gross-out song. This song still makes me gag a little. No one is sure of its origins, or why someone decided to immortalize a decaying rodent around the campfire, but millions of kids want to thank that person for giving them a foul weapon against their fussy kid sister.
There is a scene in the book “The Dead Zone”, where, as a child, the protagonist accidentally puts his hand into the remains of a putrid, dead gopher. If I remember correctly, the passage even quotes this song.
Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat
Dirty little birdie feet.
Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
And me without my spoon.
This guy is Pete. According to his YouTube profile, Pete is a “camp and experiential education enthusiast”. You will be seeing more of Pete and his shirt in the future.
