In what is probably the closest that Big Idea has gotten to achieving the popularity of the Belly Button Song (at least in my estimation) is this one.  The story takes place in Larry’s home.  He’s ordered some pizza (Chicago Style, of course) and he’s waiting for it to arrive– but it’s been over an hour.

He starts to question himself– should he have ordered over the Internet?  Where could it be?  His soda’s turned room temperature, and just as he’s about to give up hope, the doorbell rings.  It’s Jerry Gourd, the delivery man.  He reports that since Larry’s room number was broken, Jerry was unable to find him, and ate the pizza.

Larry sings about the pizza that got away, and promises that he’ll never forget his Pizza Angel.

After this song, all pizza boxes are no longer generic (or the Pizza Lion from Madame Blueberry), but Pizza Angel boxes (as is shown in the segment preceding this with Junior as Robin Hood).

(Want to see Kurt Heinicke singing a bass backup?  Look around at the Easter Eggs and one of them is his backup vocals.  Then head back to the song and listen during the second chorus and see if you can pick it out!)

This is one of my favorite silly songs.  It’s broken up into an A and B section, and both of them pick on owners of Sport Utility Vehicles.

The song starts out with Larry and the green scallion from Esther (the one that sang the song about puppies) pulling up to a gas station to fill up their SUV’s.  I’m a little upset here because Larry doesn’t have his Susie Action Jeep from Madame Blueberry anymore, he seems to have traded it in for a blue jeep.  The scallion pulls up in a pink Subaru.  They share their mutual affection for the other’s vehicle, until they decide that they should both drive off in their big cars, separately, for different items.

This leads into the B section where they sing about absurd things happening– like there being a snowstorm and the two of them being the only ones not stuck, or a Ranger being stuck in a ditch while out on a camping trip.  In this case, these two preppie dressed people would be heroes– singing really high notes.

In either case, the entire song pokes fun at those who drive around SUV’s for day to day tasks, feeling big because they have so much horsepower, but never really doing anything sporty or getting them dirty.

A truly great and silly song.

(As a bonus, make it all the way through the hard trivia section on the Snoodle’s Tale DVD and you’ll find a session with the actual people trying to sing the song and doing a pretty humorous job of it!)

This song is on the second VeggieTales ever made, VeggieTales: God Wants me to Forgive Them?  It was the first song performed by a man with professional talent.  I believe it was the voice of Tony the Tiger, but you can correct me if I’m wrong.

This song occurs at the end of the “Gilligan’s Island” segment of the DVD, and is sung by a coconut tree with the coconuts singing backup.

The point of the song?  Since God has forgiven us, we should forgive others and forgiveness comes from the heart.  We must each do our part to show forgiveness to others.
