Here it is: The song that made Olivia Munn reveal that she marinates her ta-tas.
This parody of Nena's 1980s classic "99 Luftballons" (aka "99 Red Balloons") was the first contribution to the Funny Music Project by musician/singer Robert Lund and lyricist M. Spaff Sumsion, and it remains one of their - and the FuMP's - most popular songs.
The inimitable Dr. Demento has made "Boobs" one of his show's most-played songs of recent years. It's on his 2008 fan club CD, and listener requests helped place the song at #3 in his Funny 25 both in 2007 and 2008. One guy's math puts it among the doc's top 50 songs of all time. The lyrics, meanwhile, are the most visited of Amiright's 90,000 parody lyrics pages.
Mainstream DJs have also cozied up to "Boobs"; it has appeared on numerous radio shows, and WPLR's Chaz and AJ even invited Spaff onto their morning show for an erudite discussion of "Boobs" and boobs. Australian DJs The Social Twits went a couple of bases further, interviewing Robert and Spaff on their syndicated show and coercing them to record an "Augmented Version" - padded out with two more verses of euphemisms gleaned from listener contributions.
The song has generated dozens of DIY videos. One version has hit nearly eight million views on some dude's Facebook page; another has tallied seven million views on Funny or Die, four million on one YouTube channel, and countless more elsewhere, and Attack of the Show (with the aforementioned Ms. Munn) named it one of the Top Five Things on the Web.
So what are you waiting for? Get "99 Words for Boobs" now via the DOWNLOAD or ADD TO CART button above and/or on the CD Spaff.com Presents The Best of Robert Lund. If you don't, it means you don't like boobs. Really.

Great creation, though I haven't heard most of those. You know, it's a funny coincidence, because just the other night I rented the movie "Breast Men" starring David Schwimmer and Chris Cooper, based on a true story about implants. The ones I've heard most are as follows: tits/titties jugs hooters cans rack melons knockers boobs/boobies (OF COURSE!)

This is so awesome!

Hey, thanks, y'all, for listening and commenting. I've been watching the FuMP from a legally mandated distance since January, but I've gotta tell you that it's considerably more fun to say SCREW THE RESTRAINING ORDER and plunge right in. And for those who leave monosyllabic criticisms: Watch out or I'll reveal the contents of your trash.

This is the song that finally convinced me to register. Well, that and when it was addressed to DevoSpice that I didn't register for this site he was like, "And why the hell not? :)" (sorry, Tom)

I think my trash is reasonably innocent.

This one is so good.

What about 'golden bozos'? ;-)

Have you sent this song to the nationally-syndicated morning radio program "The Bob and Tom Show"? (bobandtom.com). They tend to talk about boobs alot and they'd probably get a kick out of this.

Well done :)

So funny that we had to stop the song because we were laughing so hard that we were missing parts.

Is there a karaoke version of this song? My Karaoke Guy wants to buy it. But, he can't find it.
