Heywood Banks (real name Stuart Mitchell) is an American comedian, and writer and performer of humorous songs.
His songs include "Toast", "Fly's Eyes", "Wiper Blades", "Pancreas", "Big Butter Jesus"[1] (a song about the King of Kings statue), and "18 Wheels (on a Big Rig)".
Heywood frequently appears on the nationally syndicated radio program The Bob and Tom Show. His most popular and widely-known song is called "Toast," (played on a toaster with a pair of forks). Another recurring song that B&T occasionally play is "Trauma to the Groin."
Banks' "The Revenge Song" (also known as "You Can Be Mean to Me") was performed on American Idol on 1/16/07 by an "urban Amish"[2] singer called Troy. Heywood did several spots for Mike's Express Car Wash, owned by Michael Krinn of Fort Wayne, IN, in 2007: "Man my car was dirty, with salt and slush and mud. Someone wrote with their finger in the back window crud: 'Mike's Me!'"
Banks lives near Flint, Michigan.
