In 'honor' of the arctic air mass that's hanging over most of the USA right now we have a new topic this morning.

 

New Topic: Three songs about cold, snow, ice, storms, etc.

[Degree of Difficulty: No Christmas songs. It's still November, dammit. There's plenty of time for that next month.]

Dr Demento edition:

 

1. "Eat It" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

 

 

2. "Junk Food Junkie" by Jim Croce.

 

 

3. "Timothy" by the Buoys. This one's written by Rupert Holmes, who had a hit later with "Escape (the Pina Colada Song)". The Buoys had received a one-song contract with no promotion from their record company. Holmes and the Buoys decided to make a song that was certain to get banned and therefore generate its own publicity. The song ultimately placed at number 17 on the Billboard charts,

making it the highest placing song about cannibalism

and did manage to be banned in several places when folks started noticing the lyrics.

Chitterling by The Wurzels

 

Sadly, that YouTube link is not the full song, as I heard it back on BFBN on New Year's Eve 1968->9. (I have been unsuccessful in finding that.) It cuts off the chorus for Guy Fawkes's stanza, and omits a grand finale poured out to a different tune entirely, whose lyrics go

There'll always be an England

And England will be free

If England means that much to you

That's what chitterling means to me

TV Dinners by ZZ Top

 

Muffin Man by Frank Zappa
