SCOTS is just plain fun music.  Some people need to get a sense of humor.  And the guitar playing kicks ass!  The only national culture that is more ripe for making fun of than the French is American culture.  Hillbillies/rednecks, fat assess, poor eating habits and a ridiculously narcissistic love of cars is just a goldmine for those who know how to mine it.

yes that is a used condom on the album cover...and it's still one of top 100 albums!

SCOTS is rockabilly with a punk edge...  lotsa clever humor... I like it...

Hey, Hannio and others...you're missing the point.  They would be 'crap hick American blues trash' if they we SERIOUS!  The whole point of this group is the mockery!  They're having fun and making fun....lighten up guys and have some yourself....

 

Fun song for the morning before the start of the Woodward Dream Cruise here in Metro Detroit!  

Not my favorite SCOTS song - ("Camel Walk," "Cheap Motel," and "Eight Piece Box" would rank ahead of it, off the top of my head) - but still glad to hear 'em on here.  And the other commenters are right: SO MUCH FUN to see them live.  They used to throw fried chicken into the audience until some dumbass actually ate the chicken and got sick.  Stick to the biscuits for eating, just have your picture taken with the chicken.

Alex, What are two components of Bio-Diesel?

Jeez, lighten up.  One man's crap hick american blues trash is, well, another man's crap hick blues trash.  Still a lot of fun to throw it in the mix.

Prof. Chuck Berry covered this material in his rock-a-billy 101 Class. "Oh Mabaline why can't cha be true."

Good gawd yes! Yes! YES! SCOTS are outstanding, a near-spiritual honky tonk fun experience, live. A must see. Unless you don't like to have a helluva lot of fun ...

Yeah! You're not "REAL" if you went to college!

This is seriously one of the funnest shows I've ever attended. They did the Cow Haus proud, complete with flying lil Debbies...they wouldn't even start the show until they had some fried chicken. Faux or freaks, they were fantastic ;)

No, it doesn't mention fried chicken, but the preacher does eat a live bird, so you gotta give him that.

White trash poseurs with college educations.

I went to Fitzgerald’s bar in Chicago a few years back to see SCOTS. I brought a Little Debbie’s hat with me intending to give it to Mister Miller.

After the show I asked if I could see him and was told to go ahead and go back stage. So, there I was talking about Little Debbie’s hats and tube amplifiers with him and Ms. Mary and the folks who I’d ridden with were looking all over for me. I offered to buy the band a drink but he sent Ms. Mary out to bring some back instead.

I got a camouflaged SCOTS hat with all the band members autographs in exchange for my Little Debbie’s hat.

The folks I rode with were not impressed, they thought maybe I had been abducted by gangsters or arrested or something.

Train's Drops of Jupiter mentions deep-fried chicken. No biscuits or anything, though, and no towelettes when the song's over.

I don't recall hearing "fried chicken" in those lyrics. Correct me if I'm wrong. There is a mention of "(soup?) beans and good corn bread", though.

this is a fun song!

only on RP could i ever hear a song about fried chicken AND gasoline. i mean, i might be able to get one or the other on some other station.....but certainly not both at the same time :)

For a couple of years I was the CFO of the Canadian operation of a big fast food chain. You'd know the name.

For a short while we had a chicken fried steak on our menu. Internally we called it country fried yak. It lasted about three months. Enough said.
