11. Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road

Some of the lyrics

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!


Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Wainwright Loudon

[The Flaming Red Head]

12. I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home

I came crawling home last night, like many nights before:
I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door.
And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore."

She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."

David Frizzell

13. wasn't there a song about detachable penises ?

My daughters used to make me play KROQ on the radio and it was pretty embarrassing listening to a 6 and 9 year old singing along
with detachable penis .....

Did the Tubes do "white dopes on punk " ?

[nomorenomore08]

15. King Missile! Also responsible for "Jesus Was Way Cool," "I Am A Sensitive Artist,"

and "The Little Sandwich That Got A Guilt Complex Because He Was the Sole Survivor of A Horrific Bus Crash."

[baldguy]

14. There was that album by Fiona Apple.

The full title is:

"When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right."

[dogknob]

16. Lie Dream of a Casino Soul

21. Careful with that axe, Eugene

[nomorenomore08]

22. With one of the scariest screams in music history.

Sounds like Eugene wasn't very careful with the axe, to say the least.

[bluedigger]

25. "I want to be your midnight prostitute."

Played by request of the bride and groom at a wedding reception I attended. The new parents-in-law were so confused.

29. In which they bombastically shout the (sub)title phrase over and over again...

[MiddleFingerMom]

32. The program director who gave me my shot at a radio program (also my co-best-friend)...

.
.
.
... hosted the station's afternoon drivetime show. I was listening to his show at work and KNEW exactly what
was happening and why (he confirmed it later).
.
We used to get CD's from indy bands and, if they were good, we'd give them some airplay (usually up to the
discretion of each individual host). My friend was in a wheelchair and he smoked and, without previewing the
CD for suitability for airplay, put on this band (I forget) that had a LONG final song on the CD -- so he could
wheel himself out to the front porch and have a smoke.
.
Well, in the last several minutes of this song, the singer just kept singing over-and-over-and-over "ROLL A
BOOGIE, MOTHERFUCKER" in a very clear and loud voice. I was howling at work as I could picture the look
of HORROR on my friend's face as he wheeled himself on what must've seemed like a ten-mile trip back to
the studio, thinking "It's gonna stop! It's gonna stop! It's gonna stop! It's GOTTA stop!!!" but, of course, it
never did.
.
My sides were definitely aching for the rest of the evening.
.
"ROLL A BOOGIE, MOTHERFUCKER! ROLL A BOOGIE MOTHERFUCKER! ROLL A BOOGIE, MOTHERFUCKER!"
"It's gonna stop! It's gonna stop! It's gonna stop! It's GOTTA stop!!!"
"ROLL A BOOGIE, MOTHERFUCKER! ROLL A BOOGIE MOTHERFUCKER! ROLL A BOOGIE, MOTHERFUCKER!"
"It's gonna stop! It's gonna stop! It's gonna stop! It's GOTTA stop!!!"
"ROLL A BOOGIE, MOTHERFUCKER! ROLL A BOOGIE MOTHERFUCKER! ROLL A BOOGIE, MOTHERFUCKER!"
"It's gonna stop! It's gonna stop! It's gonna stop! It's GOTTA stop!!!".

35. Is this it? This version's only 4 minutes though...

Soul Coughing - "Houston"

[MiddleFingerMom]

39. GREAT catch!!! That's it!!! Except I think this is an edited studio release...

.
.
.
... and we got a demo directly from the band, which was much longer.
.
I think.

Invocation and Ritual Dance of the Young Pumpkin

(Thank you for my auditory exit out of reality at age 12, Frank Zappa!)

45. The Horseshoe Crab, The Ancient Fish

[Mnpaul]

46. Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

[nomorenomore08]

49. I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but 12 X 35 = 420.

Granted, I know the song isn't actually about getting high, and that slang probably didn't even exist in the 60's, it's just a funny coincidence.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

48. WHY DOES IT HURT WHEN I PEE??
