Here’s a weird thing I found while going through some really old tapes (as in, 20 year old tapes): a song from the mid-1990s about Pogs that played on the local children’s radio station (pre Radio Disney). I searched the Internet to find out who made this song and came up completely empty, so whoever did this thought they could erase it from history.

Look after the jump for the lyrics!

Update: I removed the audio because, as Siri was so nice to inform me, the real name of the song is “Let’s Play POG” by Janet & Judy and it is actually still available for purchase (so it’s not so unknown as I thought). The Internet does indeed know everything!

School is out, got nothin’ to do
My friends are all over, and they’re bored, too
So we’re watchin’ TV, but’s it’s pretty lame
Tired of playin’ the same old video game
At least my homework is done, it’s out of the way
But whatcha gonna do with the rest of the day?
You can horse around, or play with the dog
But the coolest thing of all is playin’ Pog! (Ow!)

It’s so cool after school (Whoo!)
Everybody let’s play Pog
Collect ’em, trade ’em, slam ’em, save ’em
Everybody let’s play Pog! (Yeah!)

It started in Hawaii, way back when
Kids collected milkcaps to play with their friends (Cool!)
Soon it was popular in sunny LA
Then it spread across the whole USA
And now they’re playin’ Pog in other lands
From Iran to Japan to Afghanistan
For all we know, it might be true
Kids are playin’ Pog on other planets, too! (Whoo!)

It’s so cool after school
Everybody let’s play Pog
Collect ’em, trade ’em, slam ’em, save ’em
Everybody let’s play Pog! (Ow!)

Gimme a P! (P!) Passion
Gimme an O! (O!) Orange
Gimme a G! (G!) Guava
What’s that spell? Pog! (Ow!)

It’s the hottest craze goin’ around (Yeah!)
We’re collecting Pog all over town
When I first started out, I only had 10
Now I’ve got hundreds, to trade with my friends
Ah, stack ’em all up, way up from the ground
And hope they’ll flip over when you knock ’em all down
Now Pog is a game that will never end,
‘Cause when it’s all over, we’ll just play it again! (Ow!)

It’s so cool after school
Everybody let’s play Pog
Collect ’em (‘lect ’em), trade ’em (trade ’em), slam ’em (slam ’em), save ’em (save ’em)
Everybody let’s play Pog! (Yeah!)

Come on everybody, let’s play Pog!
