"But it isn't happenin' ya fraudulent foes/ You used to front big time now I suppose/ That everything's cool since the style you've adopted/ You used to make fun of but now you wanna rock it" "Dobalina" is almost synonymous to the "Romney", slang used for corporate white people trying to front a more blue-to-red-collar appearance or posing as someone who is cool with those who would own a non-luxury vehicle whilst clearly uncomfortable with it. Plus, Bob Dobalina is crazy fun to say over and over again ;) Thu, 03 May 2012 07:09:38 -0700 http://www.jeaun.com/2005/04/11/bob_dobalina#comment-30459 It's actually about Robert Dovalina from San Antonio, TX. He's 75 years old and one of my customers and he just finished telling me the story. His employee called him Bob Dobalina due to her strong accent. The Monkees heard the name being called out and had him paged to hear it again. They needed one last short song to finish their album and somehow chose to make a song after his catchy name.

He became a joke in britains newspapers about american coorporate guy's that are so stuid that they like kids, get lost on airports so that their bosses have to call for them as missing. After this it became a sport through out in Europe to report Mr Bob Dobalina as missing. The Monkeys was the first to put in a song.
