In the years 1996 and 1997, the World Wrestling Federation (now called
World Wrestling Entertainment) put on their own version of an awards
show, called the Slammy Awards, or the Slammies. Each of the two
years, the show was begun by a musical number performed by Todd
Pettingill. These songs mentioned several WWF superstars with
"humorous" remarks. Some of the lyrics I remember ("He's the sexiest
thing to ever step in a ring" for Shawn Michaels, "He's the only man
man enough to wear pink" for Bret Hart, "Big Daddy don't need no
friendships, he don't need no one at all" for Big Daddy Cool Diesel).
I cannot remember the full lyrics for either year's song. I am
looking for the full lyrics to each Slammy Awards show's beginning
song. |

In addition to the lyrics themselves, I would also very much like to
find sound files of the actual singing of the two songs. These are
not necessary for the answer, but they'd be appreciated and would
likely receive a higher rating.

I have tracked down lyrics for the 1996 Slammys only. They're
unofficial, but they're a pretty good match for the lyrics that you
remember.
I can also give you information on how to obtain the videos for the
1996 and 1997 Slammys.
Would this be an acceptable answer?

I would much prefer both sets of lyrics. If no one else is able to
find the 1997 lyrics within a few more days (let's say by Tuesday,
7/16), I will accept your answer.

I have a suggestion, which I am posting today only because I might not
have too much time on Tuesday. Perhaps you should cancel the current
question and repost it as two questions: one for the 1996 Slammy
Awards and one for 1997. That way I (or someone else, if they beat me
to it) could answer one question and you can still leave the other
question open. The only drawback is that you would pay an extra $1 in
posting fees. But on the other hand, if you post your questions
again, you might draw new researchers into finding the answer for
1997.

That's a non-terrible idea. What's $1? Hell, I could make a 20
minute phonecall for a dollar....
(sorry, sorry)
I'll do that now.
