My grandfather listened to the country station (I can still hear the jingle in my head -- "K-A-Y-O one one five oh") so maybe it's a country song. This is all I remember: "LSD made a wreck of me" and
"I'm going down to [mumble] prison Anybody remember it? Who sang it? What's the name of the song? Alex |

I've seen at least one CD by him, but I have no idea what's on it.Still around and funny. |

It was also recorded by Wendel Austin & The Country Swings. This version has been played on the Dr. Demento show. |

LSD MADE A WRECK OF ME (Unknown - Publisher Unknown) I was married once to Betty Lou And twice to Carol Sue Those doggone women nearly drove me mad I got hallucination blues I started using LSD, it gave me quite a kick Better than booze and easy to use But it made me mentally sick Well I'm on my way to life in prison Got a monkey off my back Well I'm on my way to life in prison And I won't be comin' back I took some knives and I killed my wives Ran off in the night LSD wore offa me, I didn't know what I'd done Until in court my case was heard And the sentence I got was life Well I'm on my way to life in prison Got a monkey off my back Well I'm on my way to life in prison And I won't be comin' back If you ever attempt to use LSD Think about this story I've told Women and wine will ruin your mind And use up all your gold Well I'm on my way to life in prison Got a monkey off my back Well I'm on my way to life in prison And I won't be comin' back LSD made a wreck of me LSD made a wreck of me LSD made a wreck of me And I won't be comin' back |

03 Sep 20 - 03:52 PM (#4070650) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: LSD Made a Wreck of Me From: GUEST This track is in the Apple Music store on a compilation called "Taboo Garage, Vol. 4". The track is labelled as "L.S.D." and as being by The Pretty Things, but I've listened to that song by that bad and they don't match. It's the one on the compilation I like. They're totally different songs with different lyrics, so I think it's mislabelled. |

06 Feb 22 - 06:46 AM (#4135474) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: LSD Made a Wreck of Me From: GUEST,Vince Whirlwind The 'Wavy Gravy' mentioned earlier in this thread doesn't refer to the erstwhile Merry Prankster of that name, but rather to the title of an obscure UK compilation LP of weird '60s novelty / trash / garage records that came out in the '80s, which included Wendell Austin's version of the song LSD. This album was hugely popular with me and my friends. I bought a copy way back then and still have it. It's since been reissued in an expanded CD version with cleaned-up audio but with some of the racier between-song spoken tracks that were on the vinyl version excised: https://tinyurl.com/2p8r74ak Wendell Austin's 'LSD' is the original version of the song that Rudi Protrudi later covered. |
