I've been waiting for someone to post this, but no one has....
There is a country-rock band called "Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys",
which has produced such classics as "They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus
Anymore." Several years ago, Ms. magazine recognized their efforts by
awarding them the "Male Chauvinist Pig Lyrics of the Year" award for their
single "Get Your Biscuits in the Oven, and Your Buns in Bed".
Anyone want to top that for offensive?

KINKY FRIEDMAN! What a genius! Not only did he write the classic "They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore", he also did probably the definitive "Okie From Muskogee" ripoff, "I'm Proud To Be An Asshole From El Paso". Not to mention his other classic about your buddy and mine, Charles Whitman, our first American mass murderer (although his record for slaughter has since been eclipsed in this age of Uzis and Ingrams), the guy who got on top of the UT Tower and popped off during the noon hour... the ex-Eagle Scout and Marine sharpshooter, yes that's the one. Some great lines like "There was a rumor / About a tumor / Nestled at the base of his brain" and which ends with the great post script "And remember, folks, there's an Eagle Scout on every streetcorner..." And then there's his Lone Star Beer ads - "Waitret! Gimme some fish ice cream an' a chicken fried snake!" Davis Tucker AT&T Information Systems Denver, CO

How about "There Ain't No Waste in my Baby's Love Canal"?

Speaking of offensive lyrics . . .
A few years ago I heard a second- or third-hand copy of something called
the "Dirt Tape" or the "Dirt Album". It was absolutely hilarious, containing
such classics as "Footprints on the Dashboard Upside-Down" and the like.
Can anybody provide me with some more information so I can track it down?

As far as offensive lyrics go, as an encore last month in Palo Alto the Dead Kennedys did, "Nazi Rednecks, F*ck You." -- ---- Christopher Seiwald dual!ptsfa!politik!chris

A few years ago, my brother brought me a tape of a record he picked up in (or near) Buffalo, NY. The title was "DIRT" and the artist's (sic) name was John Valby. It was a recording of an uproarious concert at a pub of some sort, I believe locally (Buffalo area) made and distributed. Along with "Footprints on the dashboard of my car", I recall: "When the End of the Month Rolls Around", A ribald version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas", A song consisting purely (!) of dirty words sung ultimately at breakneck speed, A song of ad-libbed couplets defaming names called out from the audience. Wierd. Funny. Gross. "It's just this little chromium switch here..."
