So I thought, hey lets learn the words. The first two are about murdered women and the last is about a women who goes to hell for adultery with a spirit!!!!! Gee, does it count if it's with a spirit? Anyway, my point is you never know what you'll find in these old songs. Imagine my surprise when I looked-up the lyrics for the Cukcoos Nest! Look it up folks, I don't make 'em up! I actually did get a good laugh out of that one. Now, since I have a friend in the UK who told me what a "fanny" is across the Atlantic I'm almost afraid to look up the lyrics for "Fanny Power." All you folks across the Atlantic KNOW what I'm talking about. Good for laughs though, keep 'em coming! Yours in strange and dirty lyrics, NAN |

From: Sandy Paton My wife occasionally observes that a bold action by a feminist "took a lot of clit," eschewing balls. Ms. Power probably doesn't have words, but the tune could become a campaign number for Hillary's dash for the New York Senate. I want to point out the "brava" above, making proper use of the feminine ending. What a clever bunch the Mudcatters be! Sandy |

That'd be like imagining Gerry Armstrong or Jerry Falwell or Almeda Riddle sayin' it. Couldn't happen. Art |
