Question ID: 39508
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 the 1996 Slammy Awards show's beginning
song.

(There is a seperate question open for the 1997 lyrics)

Dear mr_itty,

Dean Burbage has posted the complete 1996 Slammy Awards Lyrics in a
Usenet posting in 1996. The full original posting can be viewed here:

And these are the lyrics according to the posting above:

Hooray for superstars,
With their big muscles and their fancy cars,
And here's a night we're gonna hand out Slammys,
It beats the Grammys.
We're live on USA!

He's the sexiest thing that ever stepped in the ring,
Shawn is.
With his earrings and hair and his thong underwear,
Shawn is.
Such a stud, such a hunk; I said "Hunk", not "Hulk",
Shawn is!

He's totally from Cally,
A condo in the valley,
He should be on Sally,
He's Goldust, totally!
He once rode into Fordham,
And said the boys adore him,
He's Goldust, totally!

He walks among the living though he really is quite dead,
And here's two words his manager Paul Bearer's never said, "I'm Full!"
When darkness falls and lightning flashes, oh, it's a total scare,
Better bring a fresh change of underwear
It's a nightmare when the purple hand of death reaches for your hair.

The Warrior is back,
Tell me when you blow your stack,
Hey Warrior!  Hey Warrior!
You know I'm like your biggest fan,
But how much did it cost McMahon?
Hey Warrior!  Hey Warrior!

Oh, Sunny, my dear,
Skip and Zip are here.
We can plainly see
Those are Double-D,
Sunny and her beasts.

Big Daddy don't need no friendship,
He don't need no one at all.
If you want Diesel to respect you
Go buy a black glove at the mall!

Yokozuna, Yokozuna,
He's the federation's big kahuna.
Never missed a dinner,
He's the Nathan's hot dog eating winner.

Here's the story
Of a man named Bret Hart.
He's the only man brave enough to wear pink.
He's been in something like five million matches;
I got that from the Fink!

Ahmed Johnson, Jake the snake,
Horowitz - you take the cake!
Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Savio-
You shake and bake!
Backlund crawling on his knees,
Duke is pumping out the fleas,
Jerry Lawler just came down with Mad Cow Disease!

Well, this is a tale about Camp Cornette, the polyester king,
With Owen, Vader, and the Dog, it's a not-so-nice'a'thing.
They screamed, they yelled in Los Angeles; I heard 'em from afar,
'Cause Cornette would only rent a midsize rent-a-car.

We love the superstars,
WWF superstars,
So, come on let's start the show and fire up the burner,
Screw you Ted Turner!
It's time to start the show!
The Slammy Show!
