This rather obvious parody was written when II was in college, and resurrected for the Dementia Radio website redesign IndieGoGo fundraiser CD.
lyrics
Well, I don't know why I came here tonite
I got a feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall out this tree
Now a Kangaroo is looking at me
Piglet to the left of me, Tigger to the right
Here I am, stuck in the Middle with Pooh
Yes, I'm stuck in the Middle with Pooh
and I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
And there's honey spilled all over the place
Owl to the left of me, Rabbit to the right
Here I am, Stuck in the Middle with Pooh
Well, you started out as stuffing and you find that you're a hand-made bear
You go outside, kite-flying, Piglet's in the air, yellin'
"Plea-ea-ea-ea-ease! A-Plea-ea-ea-ea-ease!"
Try to make some sense of it all
But I can see that it don't make sense at all
You can try to pin the tail on Eeyore
But I can see that it won't stick anymore
Kanga to the left of me, Roo to the right
Here I am, Stuck in the Middle with Pooh
Well, you started out as stuffing and you find that you're a hand-made bear,
You're running from the bumbles, they sting you on your back and you say
"Bee-ee-ee-ee-ees! A-Bee-ee-ee-ee-ees!"
Well, I don't know why I came here tonite
I got a feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall out this tree
Now a Kangaroo is looking at me
Piglet to the left of me, Tigger to the right
Here I am, stuck in the Middle with Pooh
Yes I'm Stuck in the Middle with Pooh
Stuck in the Middle with Pooh
Here I am, Stuck in the Middle with Pooh.

Technically my favorite track is "You Don't Know Jack (Plan B)", because it's just a great reimagining (Some Jerk with a Camera is now officially a reimagineer).
But a lot of the album is good, and the "Luke Ski Phase 2" stuff is also good, but different. Erin A Cobb
