Anything by Yoko Ono
Oh you CAN'T be serious! She's a lyrical GENIUS!

No it's everything by Yoko Ono.

Horse with no shame is pretty lame as well. Of course America just had that "sound" going for them and anything that fit that mold worked well for them for a while. An interesting side note, in all the years of my meeting with many, many performers, America and Ritchie Blackmore are the only two that stand out as complete a$$holes.

It's interesting that you mention Blackmore on your short a-hole list, Bill. He walked out on Deep Purple back in 1976 and the band almost disappeared because he was considered to be "irreplaceable.". In 1994 Steve Morse stepped in as the guitarist. The band now does incredible sold out tours all over the world has had an amazing resurgence of world-wide popularity. This must be giving Blackmore loads of well-deserved agida. :)

Too Fat Polka is pretty un-PC, I can't believe Arthur Godfrey used to sing that on the air.

I don't want her
you can have her
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me
She's too fat for me

I don't want her
you can have her
She's too fat for me


Clearly a timeless classic.

Ah, a song that makes you laugh due to unintended irony:
That old gospel song ---

Somebody touched me, (must have been the hand of the lord)

PS I love the song, it justs cracks me up.

Slartibartfast-- What was that song about having an Ugly Woman?
It had the spoken line towards the end...

"Man! Your Ol'Lady sure is Ugly!"
"Yeah, But she sure can COOK!"

If you want to be happy? Is that the song?

Oh and in defense of Surfin' Bird, I first heard that song long after it's first release. I think it came out in '64 and a local dj threw it in as an "in your face" oldie about 6:00 one morning. That was in the fall of '75, when we were bombarded with such classics as "Run Joey Run", "Jive Talkin', and "Ballroom Blitz".

I immediately dug out my copy of "The Ventures Dance Party" and my scratchy 45 of "Pipeline" and all of a sudden smoking dope and listening to the Doobie Brothers wasn't so important.

Repeat three hundred times.

Come to think of it, my first wife used to play that LP over & over. I finally took the hint & left.

Or you could just use the Elton John method of songwriting. Write one unintelligible verse, could be a grocery list or a paragraph from a DVD player owner's manual, then repeat the same line over and over until the alloted 3:30 is gone.

You make me proud Scott. You not only talk about explosive diarrhea (which made me laugh my ass off), you spelled it correctly.

John Lennon--the ONLY reason Yoko Ono recorded anything. It reminds me of the line James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) says in "Goldeneye" when he's in the bar in Russia. The trio of girls (Minnie Driver is one of them) on stage is singing "Stand By Your Man" and Bond says, "Who's strangling the cat?" Yoko could consider that one a complement.
