Out On The YouTube ^

Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road

This is a pretty decent song.

I was driving to the Westport, CT train station this morning to go to Manhattan and I saw a live skunk in the middle of Route 136 in the Easton area.

On the way back home earlier this evening, I did not see the skunk but I did detect the smell. Somebody (not me) went ahead and ran the poor thing over.

I am dedicating this thread to that skunk.

I took many road trips with my 4 kids. I’d never heard that dead skunk growing up but we all heard it 1st together, immediately loved that ditty as we sang along in the car.

Another artist my kids enjoyed to the hilt was Haywood Banks.
My fav HB song is: Toast

but the kids favorite was: The Cat got Dead

So if this skunk song deserves it’s own post then maybe this one too: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the+cat+got+dead+song+heywood+banks&view=detail&mid=451DDC5107F20BD7BC77451DDC5107F20BD7BC77&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dthe%2bcat%2bgot%2bdead%2bsong%2bheywood%2bbanks%26form%3dANNTH1%26refig%3d0a5b2fbe65d24f598c38b8da87aba0b0%26sp%3d5%26qs%3dAS%26pq%3dthe%2bcat%2bgot%2bdead%26sk%3dAS4%26sc%3d5-16%26cvid%3d0a5b2fbe65d24f598c38b8da87aba0b0

I vote we dedicate this to that sleepy old defunct skunk,
JOE BIDEN!

Word was that ‘Illary was smelling....now we have dead skunks.

Wonder what Loudon is doing these days. Rod trips, those days, we kept count of those dead skunks....bonus points for other, larger animals: boars, deer, raccoons, armadillos.

He won a Grammy for his High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project album in 2010. It pays tribute to singer and banjo picker Charlie Poole (1892–1931). Great album.

Speaking of armadillos, check out Robert Earl Keen's "Armadillo Jackal."
