Chris and Greg, thanks for the follow-up. I appreciate it.
And feel free to make up all the double entendre song titles you like! You might be surprised how blunt some of the real ones could actually get. Here's a bit of "Don't Come Too Soon" (!) recorded by Julia Lee:
Come and see me baby,
But please don't come too soon ...
You got about five or six hours to kill,
Try runnin' up and down that same old hill.
You know you try wrasslin', you get too many falls--
Get a grip on your bat and smack a few balls ...
You gotta let your sweet meat cook a long, long time ...
You gotta let it cook if you want it to taste real fine.
You're goin' too fast, you better take care,
You might have a flat, and you ain't got no spare.
It mixes metaphors, sure, but who cares? Julia Lee recorded lots of songs like this. It's amazing that this came out on Capitol--backed with "My Man Stands Out," which is about what you'd figure.
Another favorite of mine is "Nosey Joe," by Bullmoose Jackson, who also did the original of "Big Ten Inch Record." "Nosey Joe" was an early Leiber and Stoller song, and it's on the "Cry Baby" soundtrack:
There's a man in town all the women know
He goes by the name of Nosey Joe
Don't care if they're married, he takes his pick
Long as they're women, he's ready to stick
His big nose in their business ...
Nosey finally lost his life
Messing with my buddy's wife
My buddy, he caught him with his chick
Chopped off his nose, now he can't stick
His big nose in my business ...
More of a sustained theme in that one!
I won't even get started on my favorite of them all, "Keep On Churnin'" by Wynonie Harris. You'll have to tune in to the show.
These podcasts are interesting and entertaining, but could be much better. I am a veteran at improv comedy and music business (35 years), and would like to speak to the Croftons about honing their craft and making their show a bonafide hit. The talent is there, it just needs direction.
What is the best way to contact?
Who is this "Nashville Tony"?! Pete, that's hilarious. Benoch, I couldn't hear Evil Kneivel either.
This is great guys... just like the old days w/o all the p.s.a.'a and concert calendars. This "Nashville Tony" better deliver with his big promises or deal with me. And to the alien abduction bit, there is a metro councilman who actually proposed that the city should build a U.F.O. landing pad/ 'welcome center' in Nashville. This was quite a few years back, and i think that his name is Ludye Wallace. He felt that we should have a site ready in case some beings came to earth, and they could find a friendly spot. I think that this has some ties to Jack Black coming to the music city! keep it up for the regular folk.
