Thread Name: Worst Folk Song Ever?
Subject: RE: Worst Folk Song Ever?
". . . when a hearse goes by, 'cause you may be the next to die." (don't know the song name)
"On Top of Old Smokey"
"Quick, Quack, Quantie, Ahntie, Montie, Montie, Doshnik" (tune ok, but stupid nonsense words - don't even know how they are spelled as I have never seen them written. The words were probably lifted from a background sign in a "Smokey Stover" comic strip)
Any song seems to glorify dangerous criminals who didn't die soon enough, like "Mack, The Knife", "Bonnie and Clyde", "The Ballad of Billy the Kid", etc.
"She'll Be Commin' 'Round the Mountain"
"99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"
"Goober Peas"
"The Mitch Mitchell rewrite of "The Yellow Rose of Texas"
