    "don't trust the bacon" and "tending to women's piggies"

    This article is very Onion-esque.

    Oh shit, I can't think of that movie without laughing.

    Thank you. This more along the lines of country music I remember from growing up in the 70s. We had a 45 of Henson Cargill's "Skip A Rope" that I used to play over and over, to the consternation of my mom. Not exactly funky, but the lyrics give a real, clear-eyed look at a certain kind of family values.

    Nah, I'd agree that it's saccharine. It whitewashes too much of what being a child is actually like. It's like watching someone with their eyes closed and their ears plugged, going "la la la la". Even as a kid I could see that, and I knew it wasn't a message I could swallow.

    Cud. His friend is a strict bovine.

    I didn't get the sour sweaty musk part. Was it the pickles?

    Or the Dum Dum Girls in a good mood.

    Love both Cheap Trick and Big Star/AC. But this is how it always goes — the performer gets the credit for the recording, and the songwriter gets songwriting credit. Happens all the time, not sure this slights Big Star/Alex Chilton in any way.

    Surely you mean earworm, not earwig.
