    Thanks! I've been saying it wrong all these decades. It isn't the first time I've mistaken song lyrics, though.

    I remember the three prong boomerangs, but mine was a standard "L" shaped thing. It would come back pretty much if I threw it nearly upwards, but never on a more level throw. Must be a knack to it or my 'rang wasn't much good. The 'roos were laughing I'm sure!

    You got me to look up if I had done a mondegreen.
    I checked.Pink Shoelaces - Dodie Stevens (Lyrics) 1959

    It is big Panama.

    As for your boomerang:
    "Don't worry, boy
    I know the trick
    And to you, I'm gonna show it
    If you want your
    Boomerang to come back
    Well, first you've got to throw it"

    I had some 3-lobe boomerangs that I threw in a vertical orientation. They came back very reliably.

    3 foot diameter herring bone gears turning at 1 rpm at the bottom of a smooth walled tank with a 1 foot wide step to stand on. Eventually they'll fall asleep.

    That's a good-looking ribeye steak.
    I'm probably going to have to fire up the grill now!

    Both classic greats! When I was a kid I got one of those cheap plastic boomerangs made popular by the song - never got it to come back, LOL! Yeah, big Panama (or was that pink Panama?). I have two fedoras (Indiana Jones brown and a Capone white/w black band) and almost picked up a panama a couple of months ago. Was playing the song in my head as I tried it on (didn't have a purple hat band, though).

    Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy.!
    That comes to mind because:
    • It has a potentially scandalous interpretation.

    No mention of Charlie Drake's My Boomerang Won't Come Back. I have the vinyl 45 of that.

    And do we remember: Tan shoes and pink shoelaces, a polka dot vest and man oh man, tan shoes and pink shoelaces, and a big Panama with a purple hat band.

    I thought I remembered who sang Witch Doctor, but I looked it up and I was wrong. Does that mean I'm not as old as I thought I was?

    No, not prison because the Deep State controlled POTUS will just pardon the guilty and prosecute/jail the innocent.

    The politicians have spines...

    You know the spine it takes, to take an OATH to serve your country, and accept MONEY in a myriad of ways to screw your country over?

    Let's not pretend they are clueless. They are self-interested.

    The secret to fixing this was from Mark Twain.
