Story Behind The Song
I SPENT TWELVE YEARS WRITING STORYLINES FOR LIVE PUPPET PERFORMANCES. I OFTEN USED A "TALK SHOW" FORMAT TO INTRODUCE MY CHARACTERS. LINDA NAVISHKAVISHKOWSKI WAS AN INSTANT HIT...ODDLY ENOUGH, SHE WAS THE ONLY CHARACTER THAT DIDN'T HAVE A PUPPET TO GO ALONG WITH HER...SHE, INSTEAD, WAS SOUND...THE AUDIENCE NEVER "SAW" HER BECAUSE SHE WAS ALWAYS FLYING OVER THE SET TRYING TO SHOW UP FOR HER INTERVIEW BUT SHE KEPT OVERSHOOTING THE SET....ADULTS GOT LOTS,OF LAUGHS FROM THIS STORY (PARTICULARLY THE WEEKEND WARRIORS OF THE GOLF SET...) AND CHILDREN ADORED HER...THEY WOULD GO NUTS EVERY TIME THEY HEARD HER SOUND (WHICH IS THE FIRST THING YOU HEAR IN THE SONG...) AND THE TALK SHOW HOST WOULD GET FURIOUS AT HER FOR OVERSHOOTING THE STAGE AND CRASHING BACKSTAGE...THE MADDER SHE GOT THE MORE THE AUDIENCE LAUGHED. THIS CONCEPT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY.....

Lyrics
CHORUS:
THERE SHE GOES AGAIN...
STREAK OF WHITE THROUGH THE AIR, EYES FOLLOW AND STARE
TO SEE JUST WHERE SHE WILL LAND
SHE'S THE LITTLE WHITE GOLF BALL NAMED LINDA
VS
NOW LINDA WAS QUITE THE JOKER
SHE LOVED TO HIDE IN THE WOODS
EVERY TIME SHE LANDED SHE'D PUSH HERSELF MORE
AND ROLL AS FAR AS SHE COULD
CHORUS
OH THERE SHE GOES AGAIN
STREAK OF WHITE THROUGH THE AIR, EYES FOLLOW AND STARE
TO SEE JUST WHERE SHE WILL LAND
SHE'S THE LITTLE WHITE GOLF BALL NAMED LINDA
VS
SHE'D HIDE UNDER LEAVES AND BUSHES
AND WAIT FOR THE GOLFERS TO SHOW
THEY'D COME AND START SEARCHING WHERE THEY THOUGHT SHE LANDED
BUT SHE KNEW THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW!
REPEAT CHORUS
VS
ONE DAY WHEN THE GOLFERS WERE LOOKING
FOR THAT MISCHIEVIOUS LITTLE WHITE BALL
THEY GAVE UP TRYING AND THAT SET HER CRYING
'CAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND HER AT ALL
REPEAT CHORUS
AS THE SKIES GREW DARKER AND DARKER
AND THE MOON WAS SHINING ABOVE
;INDA HEARD SOMETHING MOVING (THE BUSHES WERE SHAKING!)
AND OUT POOPED A GOLFERS LOST GLOVE!
REPEAT CHORUS
THE LITTLE GOLF GLOVE WAS FRIENDLY
HE HAD A PLAN THAT WAS KEEN
THE NEXT DAY WHEN GOLFERS WERE PLAYING THEIR GAME
HE TOSSED LINDA BACK ON THE GREEN!
REPEAT CHORUS
