This is Space Command to Jimmy

I don't know how old we were, probably in Jr. High, but one year Greg and I were at the Winnetka sidewalk sale and we found an old floppy 45 record with a birthday song dedicated to Jimmy. Our friend Jim's birthday was coming up a the end of the summer so we bought it. I think we paid a quarter for it. It was one of the dumbest things we'd ever heard but at the same time was so catchy it was hard to forget.

I can't find one online for Jimmy without paying for it. Apparently, someone else has picked up the business and now customizes songs for a number of different occasions. I'm not sure what the guy in this video is thinking but that Gail is one lucky woman.

My name is Zoom, and I live on the moon
But I came down to earth *just to sing you this tune*
'Cause Jimmy, it's your birthday! Today!
