My Name Is Not Merv Griffin

My Name Is Not Merv Griffin is a 1982 novelty song by Gary Muller. It is a parody of "Je cherche après Titine", music by Léo Daniderff, lyrics by Louis Mauban and Marcel Bertal.
The song is based on the singer's lament that he supposedly resembles celebrity talk show host Merv Griffin, and that Griffin's fans are stalking him, with disconcerting consequences. The song was popularized by repeated airplay on the Dr. Demento Show, and is featured on the album Demento's Momentos.
The song was later recorded in a studio cover version by Luke Ski, with music and background vocals by Power Salad. Also the band Mr. Bungle performed a cover of it during a recorded rehearsal in 1989.[1]
