Put the canister down, down on the ground; propane. Need a light, need light, to ignite; propane. I got some bad news, got the burned chicken blues; propane. Before your food is done, you won't wanna run out; propane. Need a light, need light, to ignite; propane. If your tank is done and you wanna fill on; propane.

12 Mar 04 - 05:12 AM (#1134563) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'propane'--spoof on 'cocaine' From: Mark Cohen Bob, cyclopropane is a different animal. The 3 carbon atoms form a little triangle instead of a line. It's an excellent general anesthetic, but it isn't used much nowadays because of its annoying habit of exploding if there's a flame or spark nearby. Aloha, Mark |

When he pulled the ring on hus back-up chute, nothing happened. As he was falling he saw another man zooming up at him from below. He yelled, "Do you know anything about parachutes?" And the other man yelled back, . . . . . . "No! Do you know anything about Coleman stoves?" |

06 Mar 06 - 09:54 PM (#1686912) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'propane'--spoof on 'cocaine' From: GUEST,Dan I remember sitting round a campfire at the Willow Festival in Northern Illinois. The campground as you approach looks like the M.A.S.H. set and has usually only been cleared out of cows the day before the festival so you have to be careful of where you step. The cows are moved to neighboring pastures but as twenty or thirty song cicles go on into the night, the cows "moo" in unharmonic response to the camp music. It may have been the booze but we placed more blame on the cow emissions when we wrote the parody "Methane!" I do not remember any of the lyrics but it was funny at the time. |

12 Aug 08 - 03:09 PM (#2411774) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'propane'--spoof on 'cocaine' From: Charley Noble This propane song probably belongs in this thread as well: PROPANE BILL (words by Charlie Ipcar, © 2007) Driving down Stone Bridge Lane, Just see old Bill running propane – Drive on, Propane Bill! Chorus: Propane Bill, Propane Bill, He never shirked, and he never will – Drive on, Propane Bill! Now Bill he drove a Dead River truck; When they name it that you sure need luck – Drive on, Propane Bill! (CHO) The wind was high, and it was pouring rain, But there was Bill driving propane, Drive on, Propane Bill! (CHO) There was downed power lines up ahead, Bill hoped them lines was safely dead – Drive on, Propane Bill! (CHO) Bill stepped on the gas, and shifted gear, And for miles around you could hear – Drive on, Propane Bill! (CHO) Now Bill's in Heaven with the angel band, There's a ten-foot crater where he'd left the land – Drive on, Propane Bill! (CHO) Now Bill had a wife all dressed in blue, She was heard to say, "My Bill's overdue!" Drive on, Propane Bill! (CHO) Moral: (Bill's widow) "Don't you worry, children, we's still in luck, You's got another daddy on the Time-Warner truck!" Drive on, Propane Bill! (CHO) Notes: The report from my family farm on Georgetown Island this morning (April 2007) from Mother, after the recent three-day nor'easter, was that a propane truck from Dead River managed to make it through her driveway safely to refill her back-up electrical generator tank. The driver must have been pretty bold, given the tangle of lines that I saw the day before across the driveway. The lines were probably dead, given the other lines that were already taken down by trees closer to the main road. But there's always some risk of running across downed electrical lines with a propane truck, I imagine. His successful feat, however, has inspired the following grim but humorous ditty, to the tune of "Railroad Bill". Cheerily, Charley Noble |

15 Aug 08 - 06:11 AM (#2414396) Subject: Lyr Add: PROPANE (Pinkard & Bowden parody COCAINE) From: Jim Dixon A "video" can be found at YouTube. (Actually it's one of those amateurishly-made paste-ups of the audio, probably taken from a CD, matched with various still photos. This kind of thing is so common on YouTube that there ought to be a name for it. To call it a "video" seems misleading.) Here's my transcription: PROPANE As sung by Pinkard & Bowden. If you want to get warm when you're down on the farm, propane. If you live in the sticks and your income is fixed, propane. It's so high, it's so high, it's so high, propane. When your grandma gets old, you can't let her get cold, propane. When your cousin she's hot but your fingers are not, propane. It's so high, it's so high, it's so high, propane. When your tank's out of gas and you're freezing your ass, propane. When you think that you're stuck, here comes that old big truck, propane. It's so high, it's so high, it's so high, propane. It's so high, it's so high, it's so high, propane. [This song is on Pinkard & Bowden's album "Cousins, Cattle & Other Love Stories," Warner Bros. CD 2-26844, 1992.] [By the way, the original COCAINE, made famous by Eric Clapton, was written by J. J. Cale.] |

29 Nov 21 - 09:33 PM (#4127595) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Propane (spoof on 'Cocaine') From: pattyClink I had no idea there were already a bunch of parodies going from Cocaine to Propane. But here is my recent effort, inspired by the importance of propane to the RV life and the difficulty of finding actual pumps and pumpers, rather than swap racks outside stores. To try to fake a bass line on a standard guitar, I use the bottom notes on the guitar namely F# and E. PROPANE with abject apologies to J.J. Cale and "Cocaine" Well if you wanna stay warm, you got to get you some Propane And if you wanna cold fridge, you got to get some of this Propane I don't lie, I don't lie, I don't lie Propane No I don't wanna swap tanks, I wanna man who can pump Propane Don't give me no lame excuse, don't say my hatch is too tight Propane Fill my tank, fill my tank, fill my tank Propane And sometimes you meet a gentle lady who pumps Propane Might be a cowgirl or goth, or she might own the shop Propane Bleed my valve, bleed my valve, bleed my valve Propane Now all the cool kids are getting licensed to pump Propane They better study their book, don't want to blow us up Propane It's a gas, it's a gas, it's a gas Propane (repeat last 2 lines, shouting last Propane, and stop) |
