I've thought about writing a variation called "thwack your salamander on the ottoman"...

Now there's an enticing image...

It's 200+ years old, though; wouldn't play it if it weren't a great tune-Originally though it was called "O'Farrell's Welcome to Limerick".

I've also heard it called "The Choice Wife."
I heard a rumor that the obscene name was made up by Seamus Ennis.

Great stuff. Thanks. I will share this with my wife.

Well, all except the part about running into the knife 10 times! :roll:

Squirrelheads and Gravy
Nail that Catfish to the Tree (aka Cruxifish)
John Stinson's #2 (only cuz NO ONE know what the heck #1 is!)

And it's actually Whiskey 'Fore Breakfast - as in before. If you've never heard Mike Cross do his lyrics for it, it's a hoot!

While you're at it Shove that Pig's Foot a Little Further in the Fire.

There's a Scottish tune called I Willnae Gae to Bed Until I'm Married. I think it should be followed by There's Nae Luck Aboot the Hoose.

Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine (Harry 'the Hipster' Gibson)
Never Hit Your Grandma with a Shovel (Spike Jones)
Kill for Peace (the Fugs)
You'll Never Get Cheated By Your Hand (Stumblebum)
Picking Boogers (Biz Markie)
Jailbait (Andre Williams)
Don Henley Must Die (Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper)
I Will Not Go Quietly (Don Henley)

I could go on and I could give you worse, but I wouldn't want to give you the wrong impression about my taste in music. But I do think that Don Henley should go quietly.

If you're getting in that non-really ITM répertoire*, then
"Don't play with that axe, Eugene"

Tie-down: "Constipation Blues"

Though Screamin' Jay Hawkins has more than mere backup on such titles:
"She put the whameee on me"
"Feast of the Mau-mau"
"Baptize me in wine"

Finally, as a Frenchman, I'd still vote for good ole' being banged on a sofa...

* please note the acute é; being frighteningly Continental, I get that one directly on my keyboard

"Jack for Jack".

A tune written by a local band in Norfolk VA back in the late 70's.
It's about a guy who is going to contribute his.....em....well....."seed" for money. Great name for a song. Really good harmonica player as well.

I like The Girl With The Prominent Panty Lines.

I'm hoping someone will write something and give it that name.

Pork, NorCal, Pork. Haven't you ever heard of long pig?

But actually, it's a base canard that dragons like to eat the wenches (actually, they sit around playing cribbage with them) - they want knights for their nosh - the dear girls are there for bait!
