My goodness, I can't believe how many VP posts I just read and nodded
at, going, "Yep, did that. Yep, seen that. Oh, *yeah,* had me some of
*that*!" I'm having a GREAT time. <g>
The childhood rhyme I heard didn't include Tonto and the Lone Ranger.
It was all about Tarzan, Jane, Boy and Cheeta. All the verses were the
same, starting with, "Tarzan, Tarzan, in the air. Tarzan lost his
underwear. Tarzan say, 'Me no care. Jane buy me another pair.'" Then you
continue with, "Jane, Jane, in the air..." and so on, through Boy and
finally, Cheeta, who cackles, "...Cheeta say, 'Me no care. Me don't *need*
no underwear!'" Yes, my childhood was odder than most, why do you ask?
As for the Lenny Bruce cartoon, I actually have that on tape, if anyone
wants a copy of it. It's hysterical and I pull it out every once in a while
(like just now) to watch it again. The Lone Ranger says, in payment for his
good deeds, he wants the Indian over there, and the sheriff says, "Who,
Tonto?" And the Lone Ranger says, "Yes, Tanta! I want Tanta the Indian!"
(He continues to mispronounce Tonto's name.) The sheriff frowns. "Whatchu
want that Indian for?" The Lone Ranger grins evilly. "To perform an
unnatural act!" The sheriff shakes his head, sure he has misunderstood.
"What?" The Lone Ranger grins evilly again. "To perform an unnatural act!"
The sheriff shudders. "Ewww! Ewww! The Lone Ranger's a fag! Ewww!" The
Lone Ranger adds, "And give me that horse." The sheriff frowns deeper.
"Whatchu want with that horse?" The Lone Ranger's grin just gets even more
evil. Hold a beat. "EWWWW!" shudders the sheriff. Hysterical stuff!
Okay, that's more of my psyche than anyone should be forced to read.
I'll shut up now.
