Longbow presents The Fabulous Wenning Sisters with the debut of the hit song “Poly Platypus’
Believe it or not there’s actually a very interesting story behind this song. The Polytechnic Platypus was originally an idea by my good friend Ben “Banjo” Grewal. He conceived of the giant, purple, bipedal platypus as a mascot idea for Florida Polytechnic, the university we were both attending. I asked Ben if I could feature the platypus in a H.A.T.S. comic, he agreed and thus a parody was born.
The song is a parody of “Johnny Angel” as performed by Shelley Fabares on the Donna Reed show. It was performed in Ohio by my cousins Laura, Julie, and Sarah (also known as The Fabulous Wenning Sisters). The video also feature the superb acting talents of my Aunt Ann Garmann, her son Grant and my Mother. Clips from the original show were used in the video to tie the two together.
I hope you enjoyed the song please comment on the YouTube video and let my cousins know what you thought!
