Question
there is a rap out there from the eighties that has the words "hold the pickles hold the lettuce" in the song. any ideas?
I guess you are looking for a DEVO song called TOO MUCH PARANOIAS from 1978. It's a cut from their album Q: ARE WE NOT MEN? A: WE ARE DEVO! DEVO is best remembered for the song WHIP IT from 1980.
TOO MUCH PARANOIAS / DEVO
Think I got your dial tone
Think I got billy baxter’s bone
Think I got a bubble-sac
Think I got a big mac attack
Hold the pickles hold the lettuce
Special orders don’t upset us
All we ask is that you let us
Serve it your way
Too much paranoias
My momma’s afraid to tell me
The things she’s afraid of
I been dipped in double meaning
I been stuck with static cling
Think I got a rupto-pac
Think I got a big mac attack
Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise
I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.
Experience
Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
