Another from the great Randy Newman "Rednecks" off his Little Criminals album!
"Rednecks"
Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart-ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
Well, he may be a fool but he's our fool
If they think they're better than him they're wrong
So I went to the park and I took some paper along
And that's where I made this song
We talk real funny down here
We drink too much and we laugh too loud
We're too dumb to make it in no Northern town
And we're keepin' the niggers down
We got no-necked oilmen from Texas
And good ol' boys from Tennessee
And college men from LSU
Went in dumb - come out dumb too
Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes
Gettin' drunk every weekend at the barbecues
And they're keepin' the niggers down
We're rednecks, rednecks
And we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
And we're keeping the niggers down
Now your northern nigger's a Negro
You see he's got his dignity
Down here we're too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the nigger free
Yes he's free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he's free to be put in a cage in the South-Side of Chicago
And the West-Side
And he's free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland
And he's free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis
And he's free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco
And he's free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around
Keepin' the niggers down
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
And we're keeping the niggers down
We are keeping the niggers down
great thread
As a radio DJ in college (76-80) I would get tons of requests for Dynamo Hum
As a short person, my friends would always sing the Randy Newman tune, I would laugh pretty hard
one artist not yet mentioned
Jefferson Airplane
We Could Be Together
"Up against the wall, mother-"
which reimds me of Jerry Jeff's classic
Up Agains the Wall, Redneck mother
last but not least

I've enjoyed this thread.
Surprised no one's mentioned Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side.
How about some Dr. Hook! Here's the lyrics to Freaker's Ball.
"Freaker's Ball"
Well there's gonna be a freakers ball
Tonight at the freakers hall
And you know, you're invited one and all
Come on babies grease your lips
Grab your hats and swing your hips
Don't forget to bring your whips
We're going to the freakers ball
Blow your whistle and bang your gong
Roll up something to take along
It feels so good it must be wrong
We're freakin at the freakers ball
Where all the fags and the dykes they're boogyin' together
The leather freaks are dressed in all kinds of leather
The greatest of the sadists and the masochists too
Screaming "Please hit me, and I'll hit you"
The FBI are dancing with the junkies
All the straights, are swinging with the funkies
Across the floor and up the wall
We're freakin at the freakers ball
Yall, we're freakin at the freakers ball
Everybody's kissing each other
Brother with sister, son with mother
Smear my body up with butter
Take me to the freakers ball
Pass that roach please and pour the wine
I'll kiss yours if you'll kiss mine
I'm gonna boogie till i go blind
We're freakin at the freakers ball
White ones, black ones, yellow ones, red ones
Necrophiliacs looking for dead ones
The greatest of the sadist and the masochists too
Screaming "Please hit me, and I'll hit you"
Everybody's fallin' in batches
Pyromaniacs striking matches
I'm gonna itch me where it scratches
Freaking at the freakers ball
pretty much the entire catalog of the fugs...
Lol what's non-pc about this Fugs celebration of safe sex and contraception? Seems quite pc to me:
After the prom
And I ain't got no sc*mbag
Saran wrap
Saran wrap
Such a funny thread!
How about some Dr. Hook! Here's the lyrics to Freaker's Ball.
Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball was actually written by Shel Silverstien, who wrote a lot of great stuff that was published in Playboy as well as a ton of children's books! Not exactly pc...
And though it's not a song, there was an album by Spooky Tooth (lead singer was Gary Wright of Dreamweaver fame) that was called, I kid you not:
You Broke My Heart, so I Busted Your Jaw
Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball was actually written by Shel Silverstien
The lyric structure looks to me like he based it on an old 1917 popular song "The Darktown Strutter's Ball" by Shelton Brooks. Became a jazz standard - recorded by many artists.
The Rolling Stones have a ton from back in the day, but I think Ronnie Wood's solo album Give me some neck has the capper with this song, called "FUC Her"
Let me tell you 'bout someone who's no pleasure to meet
You wouldn't offer her a back seat
Just 'cause her father's a vicar who is full of pulpit
There is no one sicker, spells S.H. one T.
Well she looks real cute when she puts in the boot
A night time slicker,
An A.R.S. licker
A C.O.C. teaser, an ice cream squeezer
Her C.U.M. really do you in
So don't you try to F.U.C. her
If I wouldn't touch her with mine
Well she went to California, turned everybody off
Sure has a nice way of F'ing things up
She used to make all the guys cream
In her ice blue jeans and a jar of Vaseline
Well she looks real cute when she puts in the boot
A night time slicker, an A.R.S. licker,
A C.O.C. teaser, an ice cream squeezer
Her C.U.N. really do you in
That's what I say F.U. try this for size
So her destiny lies now in the pit of fate
One of those strange people you just love to hate
She is S.I.C., she is deranged
Even her poor old banker was short changed
She looks real cute when she puts in the boot
A night time slicker, an A.R.S. licker,
A C.O.C. teaser, an ice cream squeezer
Her C.U.N. really do you in
So don't you try to F.U.C. her
If I wouldn't touch her with mine
Well she looks real cute when she puts in the boot
A night time slicker, an A.R.S. licker
A C.O.C. teaser, an ice cream squeezer
Her C.U.N. really do you in
So don't you try to F.U.C. her
If I wouldn't touch her with mine
So don't you try to F.U.C. her
If I wouldn't touch her with mine
If you wanna risk F.U.C. her, try this for size
ok, how is The Allman Brothers Band getting out of this? They are a blues band, something should stick - gotta dig a little deeper folks!
The ABB covered Sonny Boy; but don't believe the covered his very in PC "Your funeral and my trial"
Please come home to your daddy, and explain yourself to me
Because I and you are man and wife, tryin' to start a family
I'm beggin' you baby, cut out that off the wall jive
If you can't treat me no better, it gotta be your funeral and my trial
When I and you first got together, 't was on one Friday night
We spent two lovely hours together, and the world knows alright
I'm just beggin' you baby, please cut out that off the wall jive
You know you gotta treat me better, if you don't it gotta be your funeral and my trial
Alright
The good Lord made the world and everything was in it
The way my baby love is some solid sentiment
She can love to heal the sick and she can love to raise the dead
You think I'm jokin' but you better believe what I say
I'm beggin' you baby, cut out that off the wall jive
Yeah, you gotta treat me better, or it gotta be your funeral and my trial
David Alan Coe
She went away and left me
Oh She never said a word
And even if she would have told me
I probably never would have heard
Well she once said no other woman honey
could lay up in her bed
Noe theres cum stains on the pillow
Where she once laid her head
cum stains on the pillow
in the middle of the bed
I found me a true fine momma
and she got some damn good head
but i hope shes out there listening
to every word i said
Cause theres cum stains on the pillow
Where she once laid her head
(Play it now Guitar Solo)
Here now when she took my Cadilliac
That didnt bother me abit
When she took that blue tick hound
she shouldnt ever done that shit
Never thought Id see the day
Her love would be as dead
as the cum stains on the pillow
Where she once laid her head
Cum stains on the pillow
In the middle of the bed
Found me a too fine momma
and shes got some damn good head
I hope your out there listening
To every word i said
Cause there cum stains on the pillow
where you once laid your head
Yes theres cum stains on the pillow
In the middle of bed

Only Women Bleed - Alice Cooper
Man's got his woman to take his seed
He's got the power
She's got the need
She spends her life through pleasing up her man
She feeds him dinner or anything she can
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed etc
Man makes your hair gray
He's your life's mistake
All you're really lookin' for is an even break
He lies right at you
You know you hate this game
He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain
She cries alone at night too often
He smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
Only women bleed etc
Black eyes all of the time
Don't spend a dime
Clean up this grime
And you there down on your knees begging me please come
Watch me bleed
Only women bleed etc
Money for Nothing
