Dean Friedman, 1977
Written by Dean Friedman
A story song about a girl whom the narrator can't get off his mind. A manic pixie hippie dream girl. Ah, the '70s, when anything went and a doofus with a Jew-fro and a sad mustache could get a recording contract and even a hit. I honestly can't decide whether this song is ridiculously awesome or awesomely ridiculous. The yowling, strangled chorus of "Ariel." The bizarre, corny lyrics! "I said 'Hi', she said, 'Yeah, I guess I am.'" Or "She had some onion rings, she had a pickle / She forgot to tell me that she didn't eat meat." Did Al Yankovic write this? Is this the prequel to "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota"?
