This is 2018 calling Artie. There’s bad news about Al Franken and Air America Radio.

Artie, she’s not gonna keep the clone!
She’ll put him back when he is done!
But some night, when she’s in the lab alone,
She might decant him for some fun!

    [CHORUS]
    I thawed him out, just to get back the power!
    I swear, I’ll re-freeze him, maybe in an hour!

In the steam-filled tunnels of Red Sector,
He needs an extra pair of hands …
Helen’s friends will try to protect her,
But she’s a slave now to her glands!
   [repeat CHORUS]

They’re all awesome.

I’ve used Helen’s line there a few times myself 🙂

(TUNE: “Jingle Bells”, James L. Pierpont)

Talking to our boss
In our evil secret lair …
There’s a brand-new Dave
Who’s got the same old hair!
Vi-o-lence is crude,
Making Helen frown!
The henchmen want to know what’s up,
And Helen’s upside-down!

   Jiggle her!  Jiggle her!  Jiggle her a bit!
   Artie’s hands, like iron bands,
   And rebellion we’ll commit!
   Jiggle her!  Jiggle her!  Jiggle her a bit!
   Such remorse from using force,
   Making Helen have a fit!

And if you remember, Helen’s shocking lack of regular on-site backups of Dave Davenport is, fittingly, Dave’s fault. Also I’m rereading that linked strip and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I miss the zany eyebrows.

“You must obey me!”: 2. Funny, I’d have thought we’d have seen that chestnut a lot more by now.

I like the implication that Helen expected this horrifying transgression to just slide past them.

I think in syndication, they used a clip of the “Oranges Poranges” chorus as a “we’ll be right back” clip at the commercial break.
