Well ... the middle part of the song is a parody of Toni Basil's 'Mickey'. The rest of the song is original.

I'm a guy with a warped sense of humor recording music using software and a microphone in my home office.
What the heck is the KNOW Talent Agency, anyway? Well, I've never made any money doing this, and the only performer is me, and my talent is questionable, so the term Talent Agency is a misnomer. The KNOW Talent Agency is just the cast of imaginary characters that I give credit for performing my songs. I am Roscoe Aardvark, Rufus Leaking, Mr. Wompy and yes, even Buzzy Bottoms. And to answer the question that everyone has asked me, "Have you made any money from your songs?", the answer is, "NO!" Then why did you do this? I've always loved crazy songs and parodies. Since my teenage years, I've dreamed of writing and performing a dumb song, and then hearing it on the radio. So back in the late 80s, I took some of my hard-earned money and invested in a few electronic musical instruments, a 4-track recorder and computer software and started a new hobby. When John-Boy and Billy of WRFX radio in Charlotte put "A Crazy Bunch" on the air in April 1987, my dream was realized! Over years I have sporadically recorded more songs, all of which are on my website at www.nworbcire.com.

Story behind the song
If anyone is looking for proof that I am completely nuts, then all you have to do is listen to this song. Yes, there really was a man named Wagdi who worked at a grocery store near my home. He was a nice guy, and knew how to treat his customers. But he would probably would have had a hemorrhage if he had known that some customer had decided to write a song about him. Why did I do this? Gee .... I don't know .... I shopped there one day, and on the way home this song just started materializing in my head. But I sensed that it needed something a little different in the middle of the song. Finally, it hit me -- why not a parody of Toni Basil's "Mickey"?
Lyrics
WAGDI by Eric Brown Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. I don't know where he's from, but it's not around here, But you ought to see him scan a six-pack of beer! Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. When he counts out your change, it's never wrong, And you'll get a strip of coupons four feet long. Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. Oh, Wagdi goes outside .... Brings the shopping carts inside. Oh, Wagdi! Oh, Wagdi! Oh, Wagdi goes outside .... Brings the shopping carts inside. Oh, Wagdi! Oh, Wagdi! Some folks are really dumb -- They're not very smart. Or else they're too damn lazy To return the shopping cart. They even put corrals for 'em Out there where you park, dumb ass! Wagdi's got to wander 'round 'Cause I can guarantee Some high maintenance woman In an S.U.V. Did not return her cart 'Cause she's the Queen Bee, baby! Wadgi goes outside and gathers up the carts. He's the best at doing this, at least around these parts. He always has a smile and he doesn't complain. It's guys like you, Wagdi -- The grocery store will retain, Wagdi! It's your domain, Wagdi! Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. I don't know where he's from, but it's not around here, But you'll never find a better grocery store cashier. Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man. Wagdi, he's my favorite grocery-store checkout man!
