OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD

This is just too freakin' funny.

So I remembered that I had embedded a great Marty Robbins song awhile back. This one:



And I thought of another great Marty song. And I went a-youtubin' for it. Found it, of course:



But I also found this great parody of the same song from many years before Marty recorded it. This is from 1942, before the word "fuck" was evened coined, and before the concepts of "farts", "balls", "nuts", and "coke" were known. Rock on, you avante-garde bad boys, The Sons of the Pioneers:



Click through for a transcript of the lyrics, though they are pretty intelligible in the recording.

UPDATE: SAP ALERT: Okay, couldn't help myself. This is the first song by Marty I ever heard. I probably first heard it about 1963 or thereabouts (about the time I was in kindergarten). I remember that my parents had it on a 45 (unlike the other songs they had on an LP). Ah, memories:
