This memorable lost hit tells the grim story of how hard it was becoming to get by in America in those years. Guess what? Things are worse now.
I'm giving this song an entry because when I was in 8th grade, some classmates made a parody of it called "Welcome To The Boogertown." As the title suggests, this parody was about mucus. Best all, they wrote it down and gave it to me. Unfortunately, this paper disappeared around the time of the home invasions.
Everyone back then was obsessed with boogers. At the same school, I once sneezed into my hand and then slapped my hand on the wall outside the office (right next to the window where they sold school supplies). The hand-shaped mucus stain stayed on the wall for months.
Another thing like the aforementioned paper that has vanished over the years is some notes someone passed in religion class in high school that contained funny rhymes. One of them was, "Kenny Rogers hates the Dodgers." Another was, "Kenny Loggins laid a log right outside of Boss Hogg." Later, the student who passed that note asked, "Remember Boss Hogg?" How can anyone forget Boss Hogg?
As for the song in this entry, it has a rather interesting line that refers to a once-widespread restaurant chain: "Deals dope out of Denny's, keeps a table in the back." But the official lyric sheet calls it "Danny's." It was speculated that this was to keep Denny's restaurants from suing David & David.
Pick a booger. We got plenty to go around.
