Play-Doh is a modeling compound used by young children for art and craft projects at home and in school. Composed of flour, water, salt, boric acid, and mineral oil, the product was first manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S., as a wallpaper cleaner in the 1930s. When a classroom of children began using the wallpaper cleaner as a modeling compound, the product was reworked and marketed to Cincinnati schools in the mid-1950s. Play-Doh was demonstrated at an educational convention in 1956 and prominent department stores opened retail accounts. Advertisements promoting Play-Doh on influential children's television shows in 1957 furthered the product's sales. Since its launch on the toy market in the mid-1950s, Play-Doh has generated a considerable amount of ancillary merchandise such as The Fun Factory. In 2003, the Toy Industry Association named Play-Doh to its "Century of Toys List".
The non-toxic, non-staining, reusable modeling compound that came to be known as "Play-Doh" was originally a pliable, putty-like substance concocted by Noah McVicker of Cincinnati-based soap manufacturer Kutol Products; it was devised at the request of Krogers Grocery, which wanted a product that could clean coal residue from wallpaper. Following World War II, with the transition from coal-based home heating to natural gas and the resulting decrease in internal soot, and the introduction of washable vinyl-based wallpaper, the market for wallpaper cleaning putty decreased substantially. McVicker's nephew, Joseph McVicker, joined Kutol with the remit to save the company from bankruptcy; he subsequently discovered that the wallpaper cleaner was being used by nursery school children to make Christmas ornaments.
[Chorus:]
all the seeds of Abraham stepping into the jam
pump your fist and enlist with the Great I Am
we came to rock these hands up high and defy
some gravity we casually infiltrating your high fi
seeds of Abraham up in the jam
pump your fist like you can't resist the program
while we rock these hands up high and defy
some gravity we casually infiltrating your high fi
[Verse 1:]
we infiltrating casually causing some casualty it had to be
a principality trying to battle me it rattled me not
I got too much soul plus control of this
Mic device I'm leaving sliced from the Spirit within
That sin ain't never crossed it lost back in the day
While it's testing I'm blessing the word play
Stay tight like lasso Pablo Picasso
Bringing art thru a poem canvas metronome
My home page is locked up in a spiral
I rival with words of enemies from Most High
We try to lock up destiny on top of this microphone
Waiting till the day my crew blows up like firestone
On an SUV cause when I bless you'll be
Inside a state of shock cause how I rock the SMPTE
With tones for time codes and modes on full force
I'm living narrowly righteousness the course
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
They wanted truth dropped in the booth they wanted proof
That the resurrected risen Son is busy giving one, two, threes
When I'm checking degrees my mic burn
It was red hot after it got to my turn
Watch the world turn never concerned with what it offer me
Watch it confound the wise so they could scoff at me
Their righteousness for self tells me they're wack
Plus they jack four minutes I ain't never getting back
Yet the fact remains I'm busy smacking names
And taking aim at a market that's black, jargon attack
The white sheets I fight beats bare knuckling chuckling
At all it's weakness, speak this poem
So heads could freely roam like a cellular phone I've known
Many a man doing wrong in a song so the gong rings
Sings vibrato in staccato, till exit stage left is their unofficial motto
[Chorus]
