Subject: Does anyone know of a doper garbage man song by Spanky & Our Gang?
Written By: Ken on 09/24/04 at 12:47 am
I know that there was a song by Spanky and Our Gang that started with some laid back background music and two guys, garbage men, talking. I think one says that this is a pretty crappy job and the other tells him how he gets through the day feelin fine....he smokes weed! I have been looking for years for that song (used to have it on an LP). Can anyone PLEASE help?
Thanks!

I believe the song you're talking about is called "Commercial", from their first album.
S&OG are a great '60s group. Probably better than The Mamas and the Papas.
Lazy Day,
Like To Get To Know You,
Sunday Will Never Be The Same.
It's hard to believe they would have a song like you described.
"Our Gang" must've had a very negative influence on Spanky?? ???
:)

   I have it.  It is called "Commercial"  It's on Spanky's greatest hits.  You should be able to get it at your local record store-I did.   Song cracks me up

The last line was: "Pot's too good/To be just for the young." How it cracked me up! jp
