Subject: RE: Wreck of the Old 97 Parody - On PHC From: Mrrzy Date: 02 Nov 00 - 02:15 PM Thanks, Gypsy, no I hadn't typed them out, I was asking for them too, but I made the mistake of putting Bluegrass in the thread title and nobody would open it! LOL! And thanks for the PM, I wouldn't have found this otherwise! |

THE WRECK OF THE OLD '97
Oh he bought it from Steve
We he put down his money,
He turned the dial,
Music Break
He was goin' down the hill,
Well, it tore out the U joints
It blew the front tires,
Music break
And the airbag opened
He leaped from the wreck,
The radio played,
Well the car sat and burned
Music end
Try using a timer on your radio..it is how we tape PHC each week. Got a smart stereo that can time, and tape in both directions. No more setting alarm to flip over the tape!

Subject: RE: Wreck of the Old 97 Parody - On PHC From: Mrrzy Date: 29 Oct 00 - 01:32 PM See my other thread on this very topic; the song ended in You Can't Kill Bluegrass Nohow, and that was part of the thread title... |
Subject: RE: Wreck of the Old 97 Parody - On PHC From: GUEST,Lyle Date: 29 Oct 00 - 01:04 PM Wait a week and listen to it here: http://phc.mpr.org/ Lyle |
Subject: RE: Wreck of the Old 97 Parody - On PHC From: bflat Date: 28 Oct 00 - 09:16 PM Okay Gypsy! I wish I had been able to tape it also. I love listening to PHC over again. Mostly I try to catch the show while at work, so I miss a lot. Locally it is broadcast the next day over AM radio which is near to impossible to hear from my location. I guess I need to follow your lead and tape, tape, tape. Looking forward to your transcription. bflat |
Subject: RE: Wreck of the Old 97 Parody - On PHC From: Gypsy Date: 28 Oct 00 - 08:52 PM Okay, you're shaming me into it. We tape phc for more convenient listening each week. Was just about to tape over when i read this. Will try to transcribe at some point this week, and post. |
Subject: RE: Wreck of the Old 97 Parody - On PHC From: bflat Date: 28 Oct 00 - 08:44 PM It was hillarious, as Thyme 2dream said about a car on fire and as only Garrison K. does. I think you may have to wait for summer reruns. bflat |
Subject: RE: Wreck of the Old 97 Parody - On PHC From: Thyme2dream Date: 28 Oct 00 - 12:49 AM Yeah, I heard the tail-end of that...something about Bluegrass playing while the car burned up??? (you can tell IM not a songwriter..) anyway, hope someone can find it.. it really was hilarious... |
Subject: Wreck of the Old 97 Parody - On PHC From: GUEST,V. Goodfellow Date: 28 Oct 00 - 12:40 AM My son told me about a funny parody of the Wreck of the Old 97 on Prarie Home Companion last week. I tried to listen to it on their web page but it seems to be gone already. Does anyone know the words to this Anti-Bluegrass Parody? Thanks, V. G. |
