I need someone to live with me
To keep my bed warm
And keep my shorts clean
I need a maid to give for free
And sew patches on my jeans

I dreamed I saw my cowgirl housewife
I was drivin' in my pickup through L.A.
I wanna love you while I can, babe
Before I become an old man

Southern California brings me down
Southern California brings me down
Southern California brings me down

Ooh, I need some place to go
Oh, north Ontario
It's safer than Alabama
It's safer than Ohio, ohh...

Gonna go home now
Where I can grow old
With the cowgirl of my dreams
I'm gonna stay stay stoned now
Just stare out my basement window and scream
Ahhhh.....

Southern California brings me down
Southern California brings me down
Southern California brings me down

Oooh, ooh, gotta get away now
Southern California brings me down
Ooh, ooh, babe
Ooh, gotta get away...

Topanga Canyon freaks, you won't see around no more

And here's another parody that National Lampoon Radio did so well that you would swear it really was Leonard Incoherent.

When I saw this as a teenager I thought they were destined for greatness but they just disappeared without a trace, AFAIK.

Edited to add: Actually Sparks had a pretty good run and it looks like they even released something in 2017. Just learned that from Wikipedia.

I drove my truck today. Hurricane broke the anteenia so my only choice in music is the little mp3 player. Somehow I got it to repeat a Traffic cd over and over. All good tunes including John Barleycorn must die, but this was playing when I pulled into work.

I never got to join the Army because of medical issues, but that's probably a good thing because seeing this video on the evening news was my main reason for wanting to sign up.
