Title
(I Wanna Be Your) Hugh Hefner
In April, Playboy Playmate Crystal Harris turned 25 and Playboy playboy Hugh Hefner turned 85. The two recently announced their engagement. No, really. Our gift to them is this musical tribute, which sources say will be used as their wedding march.
It's a parody of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer," a song specially selected for the happy couple because it was released in April, 1986, the month Crystal Harris was born. [So it's also 25!] The lyrics, in turn, were inspired by a song that was a hit the year Hugh Hefner was born - 1926 - called "Get Away, Old Man, Get Away."
You're welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Hef.
M. Spaff Sumsion: Concept and lyrics
Robert Lund: Lead and backing vocals, instruments, initial mixing
Jean "Kickie" Taylor: Backing vocals
Bob Emmet: Instrumental cameos, final mixing and production

Wow! Words fail me, but luckily (for all of us) they never fail Spaff. Another in a long series of home-runs, and I see no sign that you are even capable of less.

This is the kind of production I would love to produce at some point.

I can only imagine what it must be like to be 60 years old and think "Gee, somewhere right now my future wife is being born." Awesome song, guys.

All hail the brilliance of Hef for setting up a career as a dirty old man. And all hail the brilliance of Spaff, Robert Lund, & co. for doing it so well.

As always-brilliant lyrics by Spaff, superb execution by Robert Lund, a dynamic duo whose comedic edge is surpassed by no one

Awesome track from Robert and great vocals. But the "Ho Spice"/ "hospice" line is worth the price of admission right there.

Epic. Laughed out loud at "Have a Stroke."

The stroke line was a stroke of genius. Excellent production and hilarious lyrics as always!

I don't approve of the man, but I DO approve of this rock-solid parody of one of my favorite songs from the Eighties. You rock, Lund, Spaff and company. But Hef's new mistress is 25? If he keels over, she'd be just the right age for me! Can't believe "Sledgehammer" is 25 years old either....at 29 I'm older than the Peter Gabriel classic. Wow. But as Ian Anderson said, I'm "Too Old To Rock and Roll, Too Young To Die". :^)

Absolutely killer. Spaff and Lund, you continue to astound. And Mr. Emmet, you too sir are amazing. Thanks for tackling a VERY difficult production, VERY difficult vocal parts, and for being so damn funny too! Love the stroke line. Love everything!
