Not a new one, sorry, but the one that always bugged me...
"Wreck On The Highway".."Blood and glass all around and no
body prayed." This goes back to the 30's I think...maybe early 40's. Gross, but popular at that time.

"If I'd Shot You Sooner, I'd Be Out of Jail by Now"

Lessee now, could that one go something like this? (nasal):

Oh, why-yi-yi-yi-yi, didn't I just go on ahead,
Take some action, like my Daddy always said?
'Stead, I let it dra-a-ag out--
I watched you cry and pout.
Oh, why, didn't I just go on ahead?

Chorus
I wouldn't'a shot you at aw-aw-aw-aw-awl,
But I kept on seein' yew in the hawls.
All you did was tease me, when I wanted you to please me...
And then you had to grab me by the b---s.

You'll be in trouble when the gutter police catch you.

Oh, you are the gutter police. Ah well, where to now?

And there's a real C&W song out there called something like "I Could Either Shoot Myself or I Could Just Go Bowling".

After reading nemo's experience with the Britney Spears cjibe, I shall heroically restrain myself from commenting on this genre.

cjibe

Are you talking about Britney in Swahili or something now? Whichever, it sounds vicious. I await a translation with bated (and baited) breath.

It means a maritime jest. It is a common word up our way. I'm anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulation.

C'mon, Maxie, you could have just used plain English, like "Je suis desole".

"Two dawgs in mah bed, 'cuz it's cold outside,
Ah go huntin' with one, an' t'other's mah bride..."

Now, y'all gotta remember, I'm a native South Carolinian
