And it's OK if you want to hit me with the soprano jokes. I can take it! ;-)

The Bill Clinton version of the ballad:

Come‘n listen to the story ‘bout a man named Bill.
From drugs to cash or food to sex, he couldn’t get his fill.
And then one day, his wife who is a les,
Nagged him into running for the office of the prez.
White House that is, Oval Office, Commander-in-Chief.

Well, the first thing you know, the scandals erupt,
After tapes and denials, we’re sure that he’s corrupt.
Inhaling-womanizing or draft-dodging aren’t enough,
but laundering for a dealer makes election tough.
Gubernatorial gaffs, Executive improprieties. Lordy!

And would’ga believe, Slick Willy gets elected,
56% said, "we'd hoped you'd get rejected!"
"Washington's the place, that you ought not to be,"
but D.C welcomed Bill & Hill, Socks & Chelsea.
High-dollar lobbyists, female interns, movie stars!

Quick as a bolt o' lightning, Billy got in trouble,
Hillary thumped poor Al and took control on the double.
She failed in wrecking healthcare and killed Vince to hide her lies,
she made a ton in futures cause her friends screwed you and I.
Murder at 1600. First favors. Commodity contortions.

Poor ole’ Willy-Billy, he wound up in a rut,
Couldn’t stop the Starr convictions, or keep his zipper shut.
Travelgate, Filegate, He wound up in a mess,
when they found out that his goo was on some dumpy intern's dress.
Biological evidence, presidential DNA. Whew doggies!

Well, the next thing you know, Starr's got himself a case,
The delays and privilege claims just slowing down the pace.
Hillary says it's all 'cuz of their state locality,
But the truth is she's another sucker, just like you and me.
Chumped. Bamboozled. Snake oiled, don't ya' know?

And as the story's told, it turns from sad to simply dire.
Commie nukes point at our kids because he is for hire.
He's cheated on the country and of course, his family,
but he doesn't have a shame, and prays and hopes that so don't we………
……………………………………………………………….
…..Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Bill, Hill and their sin.
The Chinese Army thanks you folks for not removing him.
You're all invited back next week to stay in Lincoln's room,
just bring your fifty grand, and hide your daughter from the goon.

Thank you. Bill Clinton was the best thing for conservatives since Jimmy Carter. Oh, hang on, those are the last two Dem Presidents. My bad. {;^)

She was a great actress. I didn't know she was only 71 when she passed away.

I forgot to mention her name: Irene Ryan. Another character on that show who always cracked me up was "Miss Jane" (Nancy Kulp). I guess it would be obvious now, but it wasn't then: she later came out as a lesbian.

I think they [Flatt & Scruggs] were guests one time on the show [Beverly Hillbillies].

They were, indeed. I don't know the title of the episode, but Flatt and Scruggs were named as part of the story.

Thanks! Irene Ryan was a great actress. She must have had a lot of fun in that role.

I googled "Jed Clampett" and lots of Flatt and Scruggs' album covers come up.

How can a banjo player increase the gas mileage on his car?

Okay, I'll bite. How can...?

In the same vein: What is the difference between a banjo and a tenor banjo?
