Many years ago... (like, in the 1988-89 timeframe) when I used to tape the Dr
Demento show from Q-100 in Allentown PA, the DJ would occasionally play
demented songs between segments of Dr Demento to fill time. One such song was
called "Fat is In." I used to have it on tape, but the tape has long since
degraded (cheap K-Mart crap...) and I have never heard the song again. Has
anyone ever heard it, and can they possibly suggest a place to find it? It
was a hysterical rap-type song, and surprisingly, I can remember most of the
words.
It starts out with a guy talking, saying something like, "The other day,
someone even had the nerve to call me a big fat tub of goo. Well, this is
Terry Forrester, saying, we're not gonna take it anymore. From now on, Fat is
IN!"
Chocolate Cone! Chocolate Cone! Chocolate Cone!
We got a brand new time when fat is fine
Where being overeweight is a real good time
Eat what you want, don't exercise
Cause nothing turns me on like cellulite thighs
I did a search of the Demento Playlists, and the only match I could find is a
song by the Love Handles, but it was only played once, in 1985. Is this the
same song? Searching the web for The Love Handles brings up a British band
that doesn't look to be the same thing.

On the beach you block the sun
Carbohydrates are the key
Eat a lot and you'll agree
Now, a lot of people think that getting big is bad
That Jackie Gleason, Orson Welles are really sad...
Yeah, too bad you only heard the song. I have a vhs of Bob Uecker's Wacky World of Sports 2 which contains the music video of that song. It is the best. Don't forget to check out Haji The Turbin Cowboy on there.
