having been a blues DJ since 1988 (and a DJ overall since '81), I figured I'd make a list of some of the blues tunes I can remember that fall into the novelty category.
--Can Blue Men Sing the Whites, Bonzo Dog Band. Perhaps inspired by the times when Cream and they appeared on the same concert bill?
--Generic Blues, Weird Al Yankovic. From the UHF soundtrack album. "Oh, son, make it talk, make it talk!...Allright, now make it shut up..."
--Louis Jordan--the jump blues pioneer who inspired the likes of B.B. King and Chuck Berry did "There Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens", "Saturday Night Fish Fry", and more.
--Albert Brooks, "The Englishman German and Jew Blues" . Blues king Albert King plays; Brooks jokes ("Al! Stop being such a gloomy Gus!")
--Speaking of Albert King, his "Born Under a Bad Sign" was done by Homer in "The Simpsons Sing the Blues". And that ain't NO lie!
--"Alligator Eatin' Dog", Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. "You know, ladies, I would have brought him here tonight, but they wouldn't let the fool on the plane? He kept chewing through the cages, and swallowing the chains. So I left him home with my granny. She's the only one that whooped the fanny of an alligator eatin' dog." From the album No Looking Back.
-- "Christmas Boogie" -- Canned Heat (feat. Bob "Bear" Hite) and the Chipmunks.
--Saffire, the Uppity Blues Women, do "Middle Aged Blues Boogie" ("Well i'll forget about my arthritis, my backache, my lumbago That young man makes me tango at the horizontal disco") and "School Teacher Blues" ("Johnny's at the urinal, he's pissin' on the wall/ If he hits the radiator, they'll smell it in the hall")
In the moon. Thank you devolve, I knew how to do that. It could be in the gunslinger too. I'll do that also to spread it out.
Somewhere there is html that will do it for the whole BG, lol. I think??
Thank you, thank you!!
How about "Gimme some hamhocks and a Bottle of Beer" Bessie Smith?
"Wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes....."
I remember that! The blues singer sketches on In Living Color...
A little more subtle......
Yes, I thought so too, lol!
