Wouldn't #4 be the third loser?

If I ever join a registry, it will be to place last. I'll assemble the first modern psa 1 set in history.

Imagine how THAT baby would sell on ebay! Move over grilled cheese!

Dr. Demento used to play a song called 46th. Fastest Gun In The West. He was gunning for #45. #47 was gunning for him. Or am I showing my age by bringing up Dr. Demento.

pandrews · December 15, 2004 2:27PM

in my sets, i'm #'s 38, 24, 21, 18, 17, 2 and 1..

Vargha · December 15, 2004 2:33PM

He was short and fat, and rode out of the West
With a Mogen David on his silver vest.
He was mean and nasty right clear through,
Which was kinda weird, 'cause he was yellow too.

They called him Irving.
Big Irving.
Big, short Irving.
Big, short, fat Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

He came from the old Bar Mitzvah spread,
With a 10-gallon yarmulke on his head.
He always followed his mother's wishes,
Even on the range he used two sets of dishes.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sissy Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

A hundred and forty-one could draw faster than he,
But Irving was looking for one forty-three.
Walked into Sol's Saloon like a man insane,
And ordered three fingers of two cents plain.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sport Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

One day Bad Max happened into town.
His aim was to shoot fat Irving down.
Bad Max said, "Draw, and draw right now!"
And Irving drew, drew a picture of a cow.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big gunfighter Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

The James Boys was comin' on a train at first sun,
And the town said, "Irving, we need your gun."
When that train pulled in at the break of dawn,
Irving's gun was there, but Irving was gone.

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big help, Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

Well, finally Irving got three slugs in the belly.
It was right outside the Frontier Deli.
He was sittin' there twirlin' his gun around,
And butterfingers Irving gunned himself down!

Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big dum-dum Irving.
Big dum-dum dead Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
Really.

Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John.
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to Big John.

Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Loosiana fellow to the Promised Land-Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept John

Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone-Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above!"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there to save-Big John

With jacks and timbers they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

Now they never reopened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few words are written on that stand
"At the bottom of this mine
lies a hell of a man." Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

jrdolan · December 15, 2004 10:38PM

Wow, there were more words in Vargha's post of Frank Gallop's song than in his 16,000+ other posts combined. If only the last line could have been "Heh" instead of "Really."

Vargha · December 15, 2004 11:05PM

I was also looking for the lyrics to "Big Bruce" (the spoof of "Big John") but couldn't find them. All I can remember is that Bruce was a hairdresser and the lyrics addressing the incident that lead to his heroics goes something like, "Then came the day of the terrible fire, when something went wrong in the number five dryer."

coachh · December 16, 2004 1:39AM

Vargha...You ask, you receive.

Big Bruce by: Steve Greenberg
Lyrics by:
1969

Chart Activity 1969 genre?

The folk history of America
Is the history of it`s heroes
Big workin` men like John Henry,
Paul Bunyon & Big Bad John

But today I`d like to introduce a new folk hero
He didn`t work in a mine or on a railroad
Or any of those strenuous occupations
He worked in a beauty salon & his name was Bruce

Well at the beauty salon every morning at ten
Big Bruce arrived & kind of tip-toed in
He wore bell bottomed pants & a polka-dot tie
And whenever he spoke, it was just to say `Hi`

Big Bruce
Big Bad Bruce

And everyone knew when he swished into town
You could smell his perfume for miles around
He stood six foot five, & weighed 106
With a curl in his hair & a smile on his lips

Big Bruce
Big Old Bruce

The boys all say he`s from Abilene
Where he had a social group called
The Lone Star Queens
Some say Hollywood or Beverly Hills
Where he got arrested for passing
three dollar bills

That`s Bruce
Dumb Old Bruce

Then came the day of that terrible fire
Something went wrong in the number five dryer
Into the chaos of those matronly dames
Went Big Bad Bruce just a fannin` the flames

Big Bad Bruce
Big Bad Brucey Woosey

Well the flames grew higher & the fire got worse
And someone heard Brucey cry,
`Mercy I forgot my purse`
Into the fire with a squeal & a shout
Log on.
We waited an hour, but he never came out

Poor Bruce
Poor Old Bruce

Where that salon once stood, there`s a grocery store
But his name will live forever more
In the annals of time & the hall of fame
As the gay young cat who went down in flames

Big Bruce
You might say this has been kind of a fairy tale

NickM · December 16, 2004 2:24AM

There was a sequel to The Ballad of Irving. I think it's called The Son of Irving. Now I'm going to have to look for the lyrics.

Or I may dig through all my old tapes and see if I can find the song.

Shame on you guys. See what you're making me do.

Nick

Vargha · December 16, 2004 2:54AM

Thanks coach! My brothers and I used to love listening to Doctor Demento. On a cross country ski-trip from Dallas to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I made my bride to be listen to the top 25 countdown of the year as we drove through the Denver metro area. She didn't appreciate such classics as "The cockroach That Ate Cincinnati", "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!", "Dead Puppies", "Fish Heads" and "Friendly Neighborhood Narco Agent".

NickM · December 16, 2004 3:03AM

I'm singing a medley of those songs right now.

Anyone want to join me for a duet of "We Will All Go Together"?

Nick

minibeers · December 16, 2004 3:39AM

they're coming to take me away - ho ho, he he, haw haw!

and remember...

Rolly-polly fish heads are never seen drinking cappacino in Italian restaurants with Oriental women

Yeah

/in rememberance of KLOS on Sunday nights

Vargha · December 16, 2004 3:45AM

Remember the station wars between KMET and KLOS? Demento started on KMET before he went national.

vwtdi · December 16, 2004 5:30AM

Anyone ever hear of Small Sad Sam?

Heres a tale of a man that was puny and wee
Stood four foot six in his stockin feet
Kind of narrow in the shoulder and heavy in the waist
And everyone around him seemed to be in his way, small Sam.....

minibeers · December 16, 2004 6:22AM

Yea, those station wars were awesome. I almost forgot about KMET. In my mind, KLOS won, because of all those bumper stickers they used to give away at concerts. Didn't KMET die first?

JOURNEY RULES!

Vargha · December 16, 2004 6:38AM

KLOS still exists in the same format. KMET unfortunately became "The Wave".

minibeers · December 16, 2004 6:42AM

Yea, I just figured that out as I've been tripping down memory lane. When KMET died, it was a sad day.

WarHoundR69 · December 16, 2004 2:56PM

Come and listen to my story 'bout a boy named Bush
His IQ was zero and his head was up his tush
He drank like a fish while he motored all about
But it didn't really matter cuz his daddy bailed him out.
DUI, that is, Criminal Record, Cover-Up

Well the next thing you know little Georgie goes to Yale
He cann't spell his name but they never let him fail
He spends all his time hanging out with student folk
And thats when he learns how to snort a line of Coke
Blow, that is, White Gold, Nose Candy

The next thing you know there's a war in Vietnam
Kin Folk say, "Georgie stay at home with Mom"
Let the common folk go to get maimed and scarred
We'll buy you a spot in the Texas Air Guard
Cushy, that is, Country Club, No Show

Twenty years later junior Bushie gets bored
Trades in his booze says Jesus is his Lord
He say, "Now the White House is where I oughta be"
So he calls his Daddy's friends and they call the GOP
Gun Owners, that is, Heston, Jessie Helms

Come Nov. 7 the elections running late
Kin Folk say, Jeb give ole George your state"
Don't let those colored folks get into the polls
So they put up barricades and the couldn't punch their holes
Chads, that is, Duval County, Miami Dade

Before the votes are counted, Five Supremes step on in
They tell all the voters, "Hey we want George to win"
"Stop counting votes" is their solemn invocation
And that's how Georgie finally gets his coronation
Rigged, that is, Illegitimate, No Moral Authority

Y'ALL COME BACK AND VOTE NOW YOU HEAR

NickM · December 16, 2004 3:59PM

I take it WarHound voted for Senator John Kerry (D-Hanoi).

Nick

WarHoundR69 · December 16, 2004 4:01PM
