Members Paddy42 Posted July 24, 2004 Members Share Posted July 24, 2004 John Prine has a few songs that I'll play to make people smile.He's a hell of a writer. "Dear Abby" is a good one. I also like "Please don't bury me" and "Illegal smile". If you want to make 'em cry do "Sam Stone and Hello in there"...great songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J. Posted July 26, 2004 Members Share Posted July 26, 2004 Originally posted by vetstudent My favorite ones are by Adam Sandler... He has tons of good ones in that category. Some of them have pretty bad language but I think his best ones are the cleaner ones... "Lunch Lady Land", "I Wanna grow old", and "The Hanukah Song" (can't miss this one around Christmas time!!!)Brent I suppose you could do an all acoustic version of "At a Medium Pace":D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GitBoxDre Posted July 26, 2004 Members Share Posted July 26, 2004 "We're All Gonna Die Someday" by Kasey Chambers is a great one. Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers do several funny songs, such as "Jack vs. Jose" and others. ALWAYS big hits, especially with bar crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FingerBone Bill Posted July 27, 2004 Members Share Posted July 27, 2004 As already suggested by Zookie WHY PADDY'S NOT AT WORK TODAY (Excuse Note)(Pat Cooksey) Dear Sir I write this note to inform you of my plightAnd at the time of writing I am not a pretty sightMy body is all black and blue, my face a deathly grayI write this note to tell why Paddy's not at work today While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clearAnd to throw them down from off the top seemed quite a good ideaBut the gaffer wasn't very pleased, he was an awful sodHe said I had to cart them down the ladder in me hod. Well clearing all those bricks by hand, it seemed so very slowSo I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope belowBut in my haste to do the job, I was too blind to seeThat a barrel full of building bricks is heavier than me. So when I had untied the rope, the barrel fell like leadAnd clinging tightly to the rope I started up insteadI took off like a rocket and to my dismay I foundThat half way up I met the bloody barrel coming down. Well the barrel broke my shoulder as on to the ground it spedAnd when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me headI held on tight, though numb with shock from this almighty blowAnd the barrel spilled out half its load fourteen floors below Now when those building bricks fell from the barrel to the floorI then outweighed the barrel so I started down once moreI held on tightly to the rope as I flew to the groundAnd I landed on those building bricks that were scattered allaround. Now as I lay there on the deck I thought I'd passed the worstBut when the barrel reached the top, that's when the bottom burstA shower of bricks came down on me, I knew I had no hopeIn all of this confusion, I let go the bloody rope. The barrel being heavier, it started down once moreAnd landed right on top of me as I lay on the floorIt broke three ribs and my left arm, and I can only sayThat I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today.
