    Bwahahahahahahaha that’s the funniest song title I’ve ever heard!

    Background in case anyone doesn’t get the reference. It’s funny, because of the double meaning: Dorothy the Dinosaur is one of the original Wiggles characters.

    My favourite bit from the link:

    In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), the predecessor to the modern-day Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) was investigating homosexuality in the Chicago area. Agents discovered that gay men sometimes referred to themselves as “friends of Dorothy”. Unaware of the historical meaning of the term, the NIS believed that there actually was a woman named Dorothy at the center of a massive ring of homosexual military personnel, so they launched an enormous and futile hunt for the elusive “Dorothy”, hoping to find her and convince her to reveal the names of gay service members.
