Heywood Banks (real name Stuart Mitchell) is an American comedian and song parodist.
His songs include "Toast", "Fly's Eyes", "Wiper Blades", "Big Butter Jesus" (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," (very skillfully played on a toaster with a pair of forks). Another recurring song that B&T occasionally play is "Trauma to the Groin."
Banks's "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"[1] singer called Troy. Heywood did several spots for Mike's Express Car Wash 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.
