Have you ever wondered what would happen if a 60's sitcom and an 80s rock tune hooked up?
rock parody
Just another old, fat, bald, tired, sore, and ugly one-eyed, tasteless numbskull. We're everywhere ya go these days!
Since I sort of retired from active gigging and even the weekend warrior thing, lately, since all the people I used to play with have either moved away or died, I put together a little home recording space, so I figured I'd start using it. Seems logical, right? I mean, I have a bunch of old instruments and I need to put them to some kind of use. I wouldn't want them wasting away in the basement Chamber of Horrors, after all. Learning the ins and outs of sound engineering has been fun. Someday I might get it right and create something worthwhile. It'll probably take a while.

Story behind the song
Just a little parody involving the combination of a 60s sitcom theme song and an 80s rock tune.
Lyrics
Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah He was a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Then one day he was shootin' at some food. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah When up from the ground come a'bubblin' crude. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah They don't write 'em like that anymore. Oil that is. Black gold. Texas tea. They don't write 'em like that anymore. Well the next thing ya know old Jed's a millionaire. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah And the kin-folk said Jed move away from there. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah They said California's the place ya oughtta be. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah They don't write 'em like that anymore. Hills that is. Swimmin' pools. Movie stars. They just don't write 'em like that anymore. Ol' Jed bought a mansion, Lordy it was swank. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah The next-door neighbor is the president of the bank. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Lotta folks complainin' but the banker finds no fault. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 'Cause all of Jed's millions are sittin' in his vault. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah They don't write 'em like that anymore. Redemption funds. Stocks and bonds. They just don't write 'em like that anymore. Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah And they would like to thank you all for kindly droppin' in. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah You're all invited back next week to this locality. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality. Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah They don't write 'em like that anymore. Hillbilly that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off. They just don't write 'em like that anymore. They don't write 'em like that anymore. Y'all come back now, y'hear? They just don't write 'em like that anymore. They just don't. No they don't. No-no. Uh-uh. They just don't write 'em like that anymore. Kellogg's best to you.
