Views: 1496

Here's a segment from Son of Sven - the song "I Want a New Doug". (parody of "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis & the News)

Not sure what episode this was originally from but the song "I Want a New Drug" was released as a single around April of 1984, so it would likely have to be after that. This song sketch was also featured in Sven's 300th Show Retrospective.
