Subject: Lyr Req: buffy sainte marie humorous song From: GUEST,PHJim Date: 29 Aug 24 - 05:12 PM Buffy had a humorous song about searching for a spouse, but every prospect turned out to be an offspring of her father. Similar punch line to Mike Cross's "Elma Turl". Does this sound familiar to anyone? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: buffy sainte marie humorous song From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Aug 24 - 06:15 PM I emailed Buffy many years ago, and she said "Johnny Be Fair" was her own composition, based on a joke she heard. See crosslinks, upper left side of this page. -Joe- |
