Credits/Backstory:

The Mocking Birds recorded this little ditty in 2002, in the wake of 9/11 and anthrax scares.
Dick Neal plays jazzy guitar, Vic Steffens sits in on brushed drums, Johnny Java plays the bass, and I sing and play my ancient Casiotone mini-keyboard.

Lyrics:

We all enjoy the latest fads
they’re good clean family fun
I’ve seen ‘em come, I’ve seen ‘em go
here comes a special one
It’s not beanie babies, hula hoops,
nose rings or designer jeans
It’s Gas Masks and Vaccines (they’re the latest)
Gas Masks and Vaccines.

Scoop ‘em up while you still can
they soon will disappear
this craze has swept our mighty land
you can spend away your fears
It’s not comic books, pez dispensers,
or precious gasoline (that’s old)
It’s gas masks and vaccine (they’re the latest)
gas masks and vaccines.

Collectibles are evergreen
their value will increase
these puppies’ll be worth even more
if we should stumble onto peace
It’s not autographs, pokemon,
or records by disco queens
It’s gas masks and vaccines (they’re the latest)
gas masks and vaccines (you know they’re the greatest)
gas masks and vaccines (I’d rather have the records)
gas masks and vaccines.
