Heard this today on KCRW and had to see if BillG'd ever played it.

Just fun stuff!

Ok... are they parodying a Doris Day musical? Definitely weird, mixed up but interesting.


Sounds like Johnny Cash and Nancy Sinatra to me.

I gave this an 8, I think it would have been less if it wasn't for a very well done NFL commerical featuring this song.

***UPDATE***

This song is now being used by The NFL in it's ads to promote the wonderful world of smash-mouth pro football.

I think all that whistling was the sound of Jay Cutler's brain rattling around last Sunday night after the Giants kept throwing him down to the turf like a rag doll...

Great song, but that 4 note bridge reminds me so much of Drivin' N Cryin's "Straight to Hell".

Are you and I the only ones who've ever heard of Drivin' N Cryin'? I love their "Fly Me Courageous," and I know there are other songs, but that one just makes me drive too fast and feel rather invincible... Dang - now I'ma have to drag out that cassette and get it on CD or MP3... I think I hate you, AcesUp. {#Lol}

Interesting, I like both songs, but don't hear that at all. {#No}

I was thinking of a FB status and all I could remember about the song was "Alabama, pumpkin pie..", classic!

Is this supposed to be a parody of hicksville? I've not heard so many stereotypes in one work since the last Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman joke I was told. It's like an episode of the Beverley Hillbillies . I'm not sure if it's celebrating or ripping the piss out of life in the sticks.
