In an article in the March 11 Entertainment Weekly, Marc Shaiman humourously recounts the problems he had trying to get the song he cowrote with Scott Wittman for Robin Williams past the network watchdogs prior to the Oscar ceremonies. The song, which you can hear here, was pulled from the show. Lyrics, extracted from the EW article, below:
"Recently, a group protested to Congress their suspicions that beloved animated figure SpongeBob SquarePants is gay, due to his incluslon in a video promoting tolerance. We have just received a telegram of their further findings . . .
(sings)
Pinocchio's had his nose done
Sleeping Beauty is popping pills
The Three Little Pigs ain't kosher
Betty Boop works Beverly Hills.
Superman is on steroids
Tinky Winky is in the pink
Dammit to hell
Wake up and smell
The stink beneath the Ink!
Chip 'n' Dale both are strippers
Scrooge McDuck is really tight
Bugs Bunny's a sexaholic
And Snow White has been up all night!
There's something fishy 'bout Nemo
Batman and Robin share a sink
Winnie the Pooh
We know what he's into
The stink beneath the Ink.
Fred Flintstone is dyslexic
Jessica Rabbit is really a man
Olive Oyl is anorexic
And Casper is in the Ku Klux Klan.
Cinderella's into identity theft
Pocahontas is addicted to craps
Dumbo's an overeater
Josie and the Pussycats dance on laps.
It's clear the Road Runner's hooked on speed
Charlie Brown is seeing a shrink
People of America, take a whiff
Smokey the Bear just lit a spliff!
Tom & Jerry are dating ‘N Sync.
Oh the stink...
Beneath the ink! (Don't blink)
The Ink! (The kink!)
The stink beneath the Ink!
