Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sixteen Tons - parodies
Subject: RE: SIXTEEN TONS - Any parodies?
Back in 1992, Mt Spurr volcano erupted dumping 6-8 inches of volcanic ash over the city of Anchorage. One of our local radio stations held a contest asking for parody songs about the incident. I submitted this:
Mt Spurr got my car all covered in crud,
My windshield washer just turned it to mud,
Its ruined my paint job and its scratching my glass,
Volcanic eruptions are a pain in the ass.
I shoveled sixteen tons and what did I get,
Another foot further but I ain't done yet,
Got to clean this driveway of its volcanic load,
And I won't quit shoveling 'til I get to the road.
