1. See the tree, how big it's grown...

:puke:

As Dave Barry points out, that song only works if you believe that the angels in the last verse were Hell's Angels.

3. And then there's the flip side of the single Honey

"Watchin' Scottie Grow" about a widowed father with his baby boy:

"Just me and God, watchin' Scottie grow..."

Even after 30+ years, the nausea still rises when I think of his music.

5. There's even worse songs by him.

"Summer (The First Time)"
"The Straight Life"
"It's Too Late" (not the Carole King song, thank god)

Suddenly my silly thoughts disappear
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer
Winkin and blinkin and blow in my ear
Runnin' away with my mind

8. You are going to far!

Making fun of the pres-dent is one thing; insultin his fav-rite rock muzac is another. Remember, Jim Morrison stold Bobby G's act.

11. Another lyric from "The Straight Life"

"Sometimes my thoughts may find me way down in Mexico
Drinking tequila, going out of my mind
Having a ball on couple o' bob
Treating the ladies to corn on the cob
Leaving the straight life behind"

Wow, Bobby. Corn on the cob? You wacky man.

And now you know
Aaaaand now you know

12. Bobby's latest venture: The Swamp Critters

http://www.swampcritters.com/

I had no idea he wrote "Little Green Apples". I LOVE that song!!

"God didn't make little green apples,
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime..."
