"Fish heads, fish heads, roly-poly fish heads.
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, Yum!"

It all happened when the Dr Demento 20th Anniversary CD came out. I heard
that at a couple filk sings.  When it was "discovered" the first "Barnes"
was Bill Mumy, I started hearing it at SF&F Cons, due to his Babylon 5
involvement.  Fandom will sing just about anything 1 am in the con suite,
in the lobby, under the stairs....

I haven't heard it sung since B5 went off the air.
