a bit off, odd or different.

Currently Renee's favorite it:

Pull the Knife and Stick It Again

Ouch, and I am married to her. I think I will sleep with one eye open until she gets a new favorite!

Yes, that one and "I buried My Wife and Danced on Her Grave"

There is a dark underbelly to this ITM.

How about the ever-popular obscene name, "An phis fhliuch?"

That one seems to be popular with the guys, anyway!

"Fanny Power" struck me as kinda funny.

Of course, if you don't limit it to ITM, my all time favorite is "He Fell Asleep and the Hogs Ate Him".

There was a young woman I used to know, name of Fanny Powers, but she went by her middle name all the time. I don't know why.

"Behind the Bush in the Garden", "Behind the Haystack", but no contemporary tune "Behind the Bikeshed" (yet...) :roll:

"Shove that Pig's Foot a Little Farther in the Fire" and "Bung your Eye" seem a little strange...

Maybe, if she's not hung up on ITM, she can latch onto that number from Chicago: "He had it coming," featuring the line:

"He ran into my knife. He ran into my knife 10 times."

I have to go with the country classic "Get your tongue out of my mouth, 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye" Not so much in the ITM category, but still one of my favorites.

That's a very recently composed tune, by Will Harmon, over at www.thesession.org. He tells a funny story about it when you look in the "comments" section of the thesession's tune archive. It will take some years (decades) before you'd want to consider this or any composed tune part of the tradition.

Errrrr, ummmmm, whoa, wait a minute. I think I will skip telling her about this song. That is just a little TOO personal. With the one SHE likes at least I can envision her sticking something other than ME!!!!!!
