Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 15, 2014

In my case, ‘tis Alfred Yankovic’s “Amish Paradise”, “White and Nerdy” and “Couch Potato.”

“I can fix that ‘narra’ hip problem. Buy my sausages.”

Don’t forget Red Sovine!

Big Jo-o-hn, Big Bad John.

Sing along, folks!And what did he have for breakfast?

Ain’t it so!

I remember when the song came out they had to do a quick remake and change the final line from “lies one hell of a man” to “lies a big, big man.”…

don’t forget Lorne Greene’s Ringo and Bonanza theme song

comicsssfan: As opposed to how they messed up “Rambling Wreck”’’s repeated “heckofa” sound of clanking machinery, just to be “naughty”.

Another song was released and it was almost scaraligous. In that version was Big John was lying in state when a woman lissed and he rose from death.

Tennessee Ernie Ford’s “Sixteen Tons”

I have “Big John” on a 45 and the flipside has “I Won’t Go Huntin’ With You Jake, But I’ll Go Chasin’ Wimmin” and I think I have that spelled from memory correctly.Also, “Hot Rod Lincoln” is pretty close to being a rap song.

Don’t forget the Ol’ Pea-picker, Tennessee Ernie Ford: “Sixteen Tons.”

Everyone who remembers Jimmy Dean knows he also had a role in a James Bond flick playing Willard Whyte, a character similar to Howard Hughes. The film was Diamonds Are Forever and also starred Jill St. John and of course, Sean Connery…

What about a number of Johnny Cash songs: The Reverend Mr Black; Boy named Sue; San Quentin; The Wall; to name a few.
