Homer and Jethro--boy, those guys are probably as responsible as anyone for my sense of humor! I remember, as a little one, laughing so hard at that record that the milk came out my nose. Strangely, I wasn't drinking milk at the time...

(The 'that record' reference reminds me of a bit from their stage patter: (Homer) "Did anybody here buy that record?" [Nothing from the audience] (Jethro) "We only sold one, and we're trying to find out who bought it.")

I always loved their parody of The Yellow Rose of Texas:

YALLER ROSE OF TEXAS, YOU ALL

(Off, I believe, their "Live at the Country Club" album)

Oh, the yaller rose of Texas, the cutest on this earth.
Her right eye looks at Dallas, her left one at Fort Worth.
Her ponytail's a dandy. That hairdo is a prize,
But it comes in handy when she's a-switchin' flies.

CHORUS 1: Her skin is red 'n' fuzzy. It feels just like a peach.
I looked her over from head to toe and she had one of each.
Her face has fallen arches. It hangs just like a sack.
She'd like to have it lifted, but she doesn't have the jack.

Oh, the yaller rose of Texas, she looks just like a weed.
That one big upper tooth of hers looks like a punkin seed,
And when she opens up her mouth, it looks just like a rake.
Her lips are just like petals—I mean, pedals on a brake.

CHORUS 2: I was a-workin' in the garden when I diskivvered her.
I reached for an old tomater and, darlin', there you were.
You can take your nasty-sturtiums and take your violets blue,
And while you're at it take the yaller rose of Texas, too.
