My husband asked me this and I figure someone here will have the answer. There is an old song that has a line something about feed the dog Red. Any idea what the song could be and who did it?

I've googled it six ways from sunday and can't find anything... but I

must admit it does stir some foggy sort of memory for me... if it pops

into my head I'll sure let ya know...

I'm sure this isn't it, but this song is pretty funny. I found it googling for your question.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rockin’ The Suburbs (feat. William Shatner)

Let me tell y'all what it's like

Watching idol on a friday night

In a house built safe and sound

On indian burial ground

Sham On

We drive our cars everyday

To and from work both ways

So we make just enough to pay

To drive our cars to work each day

We're rocking the suburbs

Around the block just one more time

We're rocking the suburbs

Cause I can't tell which house is mine

We're rocking the suburbs

We part the shades and face facts

They got better looking Fescue

Right across the cul de sac

Hotwheels take rising stars

Get rich quick seminars

Soap opera magazines

40,000 watt nativity scenes

Don't freak about the smoke alarm

Mom left the TV dinner on

Yet we're rocking the suburbs

From family feud to Chevy Chase

We're rocking the suburbs

We numb the muscles in our face

We're rocking the suburbs

Feed the dog and mow the lawn

Watching mommy balance the checks

While daddy juggles credit cards

Hi, sorry to bother you

The name's Bill

I live just across the street

Yeah that's right over there

No, no not that house, the one next to it with the extra flower bed

Oh, and here's all your papers from the last few days, they were just piling up on the driveway where the...whole neighborhood could see them

Not that that's a problem of course

But that and the grass being a little overgrown

Might give someone the impression that you Were out of town

And you wouldn't want that

I've got to be going shortly to a little

class I've been attending I just...

No, no, no, no not pottery or anything like that it's uh...

An ANGER MANAGEMENT class

Actually,

and speaking of that very class

They've been emphasising finding some common ground

With people before you confront them

to avoid becoming violent, you know?

Well actually we do have a few things in common

Here could you take these papers

They're getting my suit wet

and as I was saying

we do live on the same cul-de-sac

That's common ground

and I believe we actually have the same house plan, except the reverse, your garage is on the left and mine's on the...

No, it wasn't me that dialled 911 at 6:31pm Wednesday about your son's noisy rock band

anyway it's about your dog

And of course about our garbage

And the neighbor's garbage can

No, I'm sorry it is your dog

Who's been strewing garbage around the block

And I have digital evidence

Complete with red eye reduction

which I will e-mail to you

to prove that it is in fact your dog

Now, I should warn you that I have a black belt in in karate too

and I'm certainly don't mind using it if necessary

No, not on you man

ON...YOUR...STINKING...DOG

We're rocking the suburbs

Everything we need is here

We're rocking the suburbs

But it wasn't here last year

We're rocking the suburbs

You'll never know when we are gone

Because the timer lights come on

And turn the cricket noises on each night

Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs

Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs
