    Someone mentioned Jim Stafford earlier -- I always liked his characteristically askew take on the classic Wildwood Flower.

    I have only heard Jim Stafford's "Wildwood Weed" and "My Girl Bill" on Rhino's "Super Hits of the 70s" CD collection. But I vividly remember his "Spiders and Snakes".

    Please excuse the creepiness of the intro by creepy creeper Jimmy Savile.

    Big Bottom

    The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
    That's what I said
    The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
    Or, so I've read.
    My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
    I love to sink her with my pink torpedo.

    Big bottom
    Big bottom
    Talk about bum cakes
    My gal's got 'em.
    Big bottom
    Drive me out of my mind.
    How can I leave this behind?

    I saw her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day
    You know what I mean.
    I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
    You know what I mean.

    The Tubes - Talk to Ya Later!

    I met her on a strip
    It was another lost weekend
    The band was too slick
    And the people were twisted
    So I asked her for a date
    She reluctantly agreed
    Then we went to my place
    And she never did leave

    She won't even miss me when she's gone
    And that's okay with me I'll cry later on

    It's been six months
    She hasn't shut up once
    I've tried to explain
    She's driving me insane

    She won't even miss me when she's gone
    And that's okay with me I'll cry later on

    Talk to ya later, don't want to hear it again tonight
    Talk to ya later, just save it for another guy
    Talk to ya later, don't want to hear it again tonight
    I'll just see you around

    Get out
    I'm telling you now
    Do you catch my drift
    What could be plainer than this

    Hey Dave! When I first saw this thread, the two songs that immediately came to mind were "Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash and "The Winner" by Bobby Bare.

    It turns out that they were both written by Shel Silverstein, who had written a few songs for Dr. Hook, as well as many others.

    "The Winner" is about a guy in a bar that challenges a brawling legend to a fight. The lyrics are included with the video on YouTube. Here is one of my favorites:

    "He said now you see these bright white smilin' teeth you know they ain't my own
    Mine rolled away like Chicklets down the street in San Antone" :p

    Anything by Steel Panther.

    Edit: I was just watching some YouTube music videos of these guys because it's been a while and I feel like I should say don't watch any of them if you're easily offended. Especially the video that starts with the word Glory.

    You know... this thread is a good excuse to mention that a Roger Miller tribute album recently came out. :)

    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/roger-miller-tribute-kacey-musgraves-huey-lewis-718163/

    Miller was an extremely fast living songwriter/singer who wrote some good ones. His tongue was almost always lodged very firmly in his cheek, too -- at least metaphorically speaking. :)

    84vnlicv7kni.png

    https://youtu.be/skFWsc_-i14

    This Dada-esque ditty was, according to his son, thus inspired:
    SIMON: So a song would come into his mind or a phrase?

    D. MILLER: You know, he would - he told me one story - I mean, I have a million of these stories - but with the song called "You Can't Roller Skate In A Buffalo Herd," he was looking at magazines on an airplane, and there was an ad for Kodak film and it had a picture of a guy piggybacking a child and changing what were, at that time, the new cartridges into these film cameras. And the ad said, now you can change film with a kid on your back. And then my dad started the whole song backwards from that. You can't change film with a kid on your back, you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd, you can't take a shower in a parakeet cage.

    Offensive language (to some) alert

  • Apparently the most offensive song currently - so much so that John Legend had to re-write the lyrics... double face-palm.

  • We had some hilarious songs in my fraternity -- but I cannot put the lyrics on this thread! :)
