    Question Solved: Obscure song...I only know the title

    Hi, all! I'm new here...I hope the initiation process isn't a difficult one!

    Seriously, there's a really old song and it's driving me nuts because I heard it years and years ago and can't find it anywhere. It's called "Mr. Gums."

    I heard it in the '70s in Florida, and I had the impression that it was a local thing (southern Florida). This was probably around '75. It was a parody of a parody song. The original song was Dickie Goodman's "Mr. Jaws," and the parody took off from there. That's all I can remember, other than it was funny and was in the same style as "Mr. Jaws."

    I'm sorry I don't have any other info. I don't remember anything in the song at all, just the name and the approximate year I heard it. :P

    TIA!
