Ball headed?
Maybe Sally is a ball python.

Hmm, this is from the current 'classic' Dave Barry column. Coincidence?

Jack (in-the-box)'s sister?

anyone else remember the Beatles cartoon series?
For 'Long Tall Sally' two of the Fab Four were possessed by suits of armor and started fighting each other.
I guess that was better to show kids than anything related to the song.

This song just hasn't been the same since it appeared in the Russian-sub-in-alert-mode-Red-lighted Helicopter ride in the movie Predator. Where else can you see two really huge, muscular guys interracting in one scene where one is a former wrestler-turned actor-later turned governor and the other is a former bodybuilder-turned actor-later turned governor?
Long live Jesse "the Body" and AH-nold!

Why did I expect that song to morph into Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Gonna Wang Chung Tonight).

r.e.:
Little Richard - king of not so subtle innuendo.
Not to argue - I agree, in principle at least - but whenever I think of Mr. Penneman, in the next moment I'm thinking of Dave's brother (cousin?) Chuck ...
His only #1 (pop chart) song was "My Ding-a-Ling" and I still smile every time I hear it ... as I do with some if Richard's best.

We must sing our alma mater... We must always sing our alma mater:
When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy.
Silver bells hanging on a string,
She told me it was my ding a ling a ling.
Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
And then mama took me took me to grammar school,
But I stopped off in the vestibue.
Every time that bell would ring,
Catch me playing with my ding a ling a ling.
Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
Once I was climbing the garden wall.
I slipped and had a terrible fall.
I fell so hard I heard bells ring,
But held on to my ding a ling.
Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
Once I was swimming across turtle creek,
Man, them snappers all around my feet.
Sure was hard swimming across that thing
With both hands holding my ding a ling.
Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
This here so song, it ain't so sad.
The cutest little song you ever had.
Those of you who will not sing,
You must be playing with your own ding a ling.
Oh, my ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling, my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
Your ding a ling, your ding a ling,
We saw you playing with your ding a ling.
My ding a ling, everybody sing,
I want to play with my ding,
Everybody,
my ding a ling,
Oh my ding a ling,
I want to play with my ding a ling.
