  I think it might even be better than "Porcupine Pie" as far as enjoyably bad songs go.  It was the B-side to "Seasons in the Sun".  It's AMAZING.  If anyone hasn't heard it, I can upload it, if that's okay.

I would like to hear it.

I would, too, especially since "Seasons in the Sun" is one of the songs I most hate in this world.

You just like that French dude.


























I know he was Belgian.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

You've been paying attention!  (Although I hated "Seasons in the Sun" before I'd ever heard "Le Moribond."  In fact, I didn't even make the connection between the two right away, so unfaithful to the original Jacks's version is.)

It confused me.  I honestly don't understand it or why it was written and performed.

  The most insane thing is that it was the b-side for Seasons in the Sun.  I mean, they put out one of that all-time sentimental weepers and then put THIS as the b-side?  It's both goofy and creepy at the same time.  Was it intended as a double-entendre "dirty" song?  Or am I reading too much into it?

My favorite moment musically is about 2/3 through where there is that "put the bone in" with extra oomph.
The whole thing is a lyrical gem, but my favorite line is

"the meat from the pork is sweet
 give the bone from the pork meat to me"

It sounds like we should discuss it on The Best Show, but maybe not for a while.

 Two or three WFMU DJs have discussed this already and there's no traction.

 Maybe this could be your book.
