Post by HillgrassBluebillyFTW »

seriously, for one month count how many times do you hear "Last Dance with Mary Jane."

I'm making a formal request of all bands in Fort Wayne to PLEASE STOP PLAYING THIS SONG!!!

You should google up some other songs that mention Indiana and request that they do those instead... :roll:
Most of it seemed to make some sort of sense at the time.

you need to play this song - WHICH IT IS STILL ILLEGAL TO DO IN THIS CITY


from http://secondgradeonline.blogspot.com/2 ... chive.html
Good Job, Scooby-Doo! (Or, A Mystery Solved.)
I wondered why the city of Fort Wayne would have a law, however silly, banning a song--specifically, the song "It's In The Book"(see post just below.) As I'm a walking outhouse of deposited trivia, and I had never heard of the song, I figured it might be an error. Turns out the song is a spoof on the Bible...hardly racy, but possibly unfit for the City of Churches in the more genteel time that was 1952. So without further ado, here is the song that started the furor....

It's In The Booka/k/a Grandma's Lye Soap
by Johnny Standley
(This was a popular comedy skit - and a hit record - in 1952.)

I have a message for you - a very sad message! My subject for this evening will be Little Bo Peep. It says here, "Little Bo Peep" -- who was a little girl -- "has lost her sheep, and doesn't know where to find them." Now that's reasonable, isn't it? It's ... it's reasonable to assume if Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep, it's only natural that she wouldn't know where to find them. That, that basically is reasonable, but, uh, "leave them alone". Now that overwhelms me … completely overwhelms me. The man said she lost her sheep, turns right around and boldly states, "She doesn't know where to find them". And then has the stupid audacity to say, "Leave them alone!" Now! Now, now think for a moment! Think! If the sheep were lost, and you couldn't find them, you'd have to leave them alone, wouldn't you? So, "Leave them alone". "Leave them alone". It's in the book!"Leave them alone and they" -- they being the sheep -- "they will come home". Ah yes, they'll come home. Oh, there'll be a brighter day tomorrow, they will come home! It's in the book."They will come home… a-waggin' their tails…". Pray tell me what else could they wag? "They will come home a-waggin' their tails behind them… behind them!" Did we think they'd wag them in front? Of course, they might have come home in reverse. They could have done that, I really don't know. But, none the less, it's in the book.So now if you will, kindly pick up your books, and turn to page 222. We'll ask you all to sing. You'll find your books on the backs of your seats. Are we ready?Everyone, 222. Let's really enjoy ourselves, let's live it up. All together.
Do you remember grandma's lye soap?
Good for everything in the home,
And the secret was in the scrubbing,
It wouldn't suds and couldn't foam.
Then let us sing right out of grandma's,
of grandma's lye soap
Used for - for everything,
everything on the place,
For pots and kettles, the dirty dishes,
And for your hands and for your face.

So we'll now sing the second verse. Let's get it with great exuberance, let's live it up. It's not raining inside tonight. Everyone, let's have a happy time. Are we ready? All together, the second verse.
Little Herman and brother Thurman
Had an aversion to washing their ears
Grandma scrubbed them with the lye soap.
And they haven't heard a word in years.
Then let us sing right out of grandma's,
of grandma's lye soap.
Sing all out, all over the place.
For pots and kettles, the dirty dishes,
And for your hands and for your face.

Well, let's sing what's left of the last verse. Let's have a happy time, everyone. The last verse, all together. Every one!
Mrs. O'Malley, out in the valley,
Suffered from Ulcers, I understand.
She swallowed a cake of grandma's lye soap,
Has the cleanest ulcers in the land.
Then let us sing right out of grandma's,
of grandma's lye soap.
Sing right out. All over the place.
The pots and - the pots and pans, oh dirty dishes,
And for your hands and for your face.

Sounds to me like something Garrison Keillor would have on A Prarie Home Companion...or that maybe they were smoking the jazzman's reefer...or maybe even a bowl of Grandma's lye soap....I still don't get it.
[b]Okay, think of what little patience I have as, oh, I don't know, your virginity. You always thought it would be there, until that night Junior Year when you were feeling a little down about yourself and your pal Kevin, who just wanted to be friends, well, he dropped by and he brought a copy of About Last Night and a four-pack of Bartels & James and woo hoo hoo, it was gone forever - just like my patience is now.

i gauge cover bands on whether or not they do "brown eyed girl." if they play "brown eyed girl," i will never go see them again.

i think it may even be covered more often then "mary jane."

I will inform you that the Sketch Machine guys have indeed played this song a few times in the past. I read you request a few months ago and as a result we have ceased playing this song. I myself could not be happier about it.

I challenge the rest of you to join the revolution.

Yeah, really. There's like a bajillion songs out there and every cover band does like, the same 12 songs.
