okay...two classic cfny songs...really I must know!:
-- the first one was about the condom in the walla-walla-walla-walla wallet...something about circular impressions!?! -- more importantly the second was the "toast song". It had an awesome little bass line in behind and some guy just grooving on about toast. In the bridge, somebody scrapes some toast into the mic. It started off with something like, "I wake up in the morning..." The chorus was, "Toast, toast, toast" ...yeah, well...i know that's not much to go on, but I hope you can help me here...before i really do die.
dug-out!

This used to play early AM's and was better than Mountain Dew for waking me up. Years later, I did a search and found these lyrics for Toast, thanks to you. I dug a little deeper and found out that this was the work of a comedian named Heywood Banks.
From Erica, 3/12/2004 12:23:23 PM:
THat song about toast is called toast. It is by a comedian named Heywood Banks. He as quite a few CD's out and I know that a few of them have that song on them.
From Wade, 5/12/2004 11:04:28 AM:
The song that CFNY played was called "Toast" by "Streetband" around 1978. I don't have the lyrics but the ones posted here are not for the same song.
From Katie, 5/15/2004 6:09:20 PM:
Anyone know where I can get an mp3 or other sound/video file of Heywood Banks's Toast?

My cousin got a cd for his birthday a few years or so ago with Toast on it. I'm guessing it was Heywood Banks.
From Laura, 12/5/2004 5:35:39 PM:
Yeah Toast.
This song originally came out in the early 80's. Yes, I'm that old. Heywood Banks would come on the Bob and Tom show (originally out of Indy, now sindicated). The original version did not mention French Toast. Always loved it and thought I would try to find a mp3 of it. If you want to check out another way-too-funny comedy song, check out Shirtless Girl from Bob and Tom.

Anyone have lyrics for Heywood Banks "The One I Love"?
From Antny DeanDeanAndTheSexMachines, 1/20/2005 11:31:28 AM:
This is the best I can do from the recording:
I've got a rubber in my wallet One of those little whatcha-ma-callits I'm saving it for that special day When the right girl comes my way
It leaves a circular impression From all those years of compression I've had it since I turned thirteen I got it in a vending machine
(chorus) Circ, circ, circular impression leading to a state of depression In my walla, walla, walla, walla, wallet I can't wait to install it No I can't wait
It's in a tin foil packet Sometimes I'm tempted to unwrap it It's got a reinforced border I hope it's still in working order
Be prepared they said in boy scouts I'm waiting for a chance to try out I want to try this contraceptive But all the girls are unreceptive
I've got a french safe in my pocket It'll be the nose cone on my rocket It comes direct from Paris, France Can't wait to take it from my pants

From R+madillo, 5/7/2006 9:14:46 PM:
all of the previous comments are 100% correct.just a little disJOINTed and incomplete. FACT 1 : CIRCULAR IMPRESSION, by the EXTRAS on the LP BIT PARTS. FACT 2 :TOAST by HEYWOOD BANKS on CD . I have it on good authority HB had an only by phone to order under the moniker "TOAST FOR U" ( heard it on Detroit radio station WRIF 101.1 FM ) (((( I have the whole interview on tape.)))) HB sings .

From jimmyjazz, 5/20/2007 8:51:24 PM:
This is not the toast song I remember, the one I remember the singer had british accent and much softer tone.
does anyone know what the french part means in 'yeah toast'?
From Rambo, 1/29/2008 12:03:10 AM:
Despite the quantity of responses about Heywood Banks, the original post in June/03 regarding the Toast song - was NOT Heywood's song, but one by a British Paul Young in 1978. I have it on audiotape (somewhere!!), and am still trying to find an MP3 of it. Lyrics are here: http://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/paul_young/toast-lyrics-224965.html
From Borissss, 6/2/2008 8:30:36 PM:
Absolutely; I remember hearing the British toast song on Q107 in the early 80's. Scruff Conners played it at least once a week, and they only had a cassette of it. But it always made me laugh. The other one is funny, but this one is brilliant!
From Joe, 10/23/2008 1:27:02 PM:
THE WRONG TOAST SONG.
There is some confusion here. The song he is refering to in the first post is the one played in the 1980s on CFNY.
(Basic lyrics may be the same,though?)
The one you want is more "Quiet" and done by a single, soft-speaking man with a British accent.
Thanks to the respondant who identified it as by the "Streetband"..I'll check it out.
It also has background sound effects of him preparing breakfast and includes him jangling cuttlery, scraping /buttering the toast, squeeking floors and a kettle whistle too , I think.
It was popular on the alternative punk stations like CFNY in Brampton, Ontario in 1980's
From pilsbery, 11/6/2009 9:21:30 AM:
I didn�t read all of the postings, I�m sure it had been mentioned, the Toast song played in the 80�s on CFNY was done by a group calling themselves the �Streetband�. It�s a great song, I sing it to my kids in the morning � they think I�m weird and they are right! Another song I have been looking for has the lyrics that go something like �Larry the Lobster from PEI�...any takers?

Lester the Lobster was by "Stevedore Steve".
