Heard K.D. Lang on the radio one night singing a song about going down to the Legion Hall. Have not seen it on any of the A/P's that I've checked out. I'm pretty sure I would remember the tune if I could find the lyrics.

This it? (Dunno how this will come out...)

BIG BONED GAL

by k.d. lang and Ben Mink


She was a big boned gal
From Southern Alberta;
You just couldn't call her small,
And you can bet every Saturday night
She'd be headed for the Legion Hall.

Put her blue dress on,
And she'd curl her hair;
Oh, she'd been waiting all week,
And with a bounce in her step
And a wiggle in her walk,
She'd be swinging down the street.

You could tell she was ready
By the look in her eye,
As she stepped in through the crowd;
She walked with grace
As she entered the place;
Ya, the big boned gal was proud.

Hey, hey, the big boned gal;
Ain't no doubt she's a natural,
Snakin' and a'snakin'
And a'breakin' up across the floor!
Hey, hey, the big boned gal;
Ain't no doubt she's a natural,
Reelin' and a'rockin',
And she's yelling out for more.

Now, people would come
From miles around
And gather there to dance,
But when the big boned gal came shufflin' in,
She'd hold them in a trance.

You could tell she was ready
By the look in her eye,
As she stepped in through the crowd;
She walked with grace
As she entered the place;
Ya, the big boned gal was proud.

Hey, hey, the big boned gal;
Ain't no doubt she's a natural,
Snakin' and a'snakin'
And a'breakin' up across the floor!
Hey, hey, the big boned gal;
Ain't no doubt she's a natural,
Reelin' and a'rockin',
And she's yelling out for more.

She and Lyle Lovett should get together and talk fashion.

And if "Big Boned Gal" is the one you're looking for, there's a Real Audio file here.

And by the way, 53, k.d. is probably tough enough to teach Lyle Lovett's BULL some things about fashion (I think Lyle himself is hopeless.)

Thanks Lepus and Lin. That's the one.
