Subject: RE: STAGGERLEE AND SUPER SKIER From: Jon W. Date: 08 Jan 98 - 05:18 PM Colby, welcome to Mudcat Click here to get to a previous thread which discussed Staggerlee. But the words you mention aren't in any of the versions presented there. There are three versions in the DT database already, go to the search box in the upper right corner of the screen and enter STAGLEE* to get all three. As for Super Skier, now why would you want the lyrics to that song at this point in history, I wonder yesss I wonder gollum gollum. Anyway I can't help you there. Neither for chewing gum, although many such songs were mentioned in the "naughty kids greatest hits" and related threads a few months ago. Try doing a forum body search. BTW, that wouldn't be sung to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" would it? |
Subject: RE: STAGGERLEE AND SUPER SKIER From: Earl Date: 08 Jan 98 - 05:27 PM I think those words are from the Loyd Price version which has become an R&B standard. |
Subject: RE: STAGGERLEE AND SUPER SKIER From: Susan of DT Date: 08 Jan 98 - 07:27 PM Another "I could have sworn I entered that song." Super Skier should be in the IOCA Song Book. I'll try to enter it this weekend. |
Subject: RE: STAGGERLEE AND SUPER SKIER From: murray@mpce.mq.edu.au Date: 08 Jan 98 - 08:43 PM This version of Stagerlee was a popular one in the 50s. The continuation of it goes something like: It was Stagerlee and Billie Starerlee shot Billie, he shot that boy so bad I have a feeling that there was a version with the same words, but "smoothed out" and sung at a slower tempo done in the 60s by one of the popular folksingers.

Subject: RE: STAGGERLEE AND SUPER SKIER From: Dale Rose Date: 08 Jan 98 - 10:51 PM I will put the "chewing gum" in another string. |
Subject: RE: STAGGERLEE AND SUPER SKIER From: Susan of DT Date: 11 Jan 98 - 06:04 PM Super skier is NOT in the IOCA songbook. Anyone else know it or shall I try to post fragments? |
Subject: RE: STAGGERLEE AND SUPER SKIER From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca Date: 11 Jan 98 - 06:30 PM There was a recent posting on the folk newsgroups which indicated that the incident in Stagger Lee was based on historical fact. |
