"Clapping the Blues" - now a full-length song [still by me; still slightly NSFW; still a vanity]

Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 12/27/14 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

[Slings and Arrows]

A couple of moths ago, I published a one-verse joke song called "Clappin' the Blues". At the request of someone who shall remain anonymous, I have since expanded it into a full length (and hopefully still humorous) song.

The usual nonsense:

1. When writing and publishing music I use the pseudonym "Hopalong Ginsberg." "Slings and Arrows" was already taken. So was "Bert Bacharach."

2. FAIR WARNING: When I sing the blues, I try to sound like B. B. King. What comes out is closer to Larry King.

3. A free MP3 of the song may be downloaded by clicking here or here. Don't click here. Just don't.

"Clapping the Blues"
Hopalong Ginsberg

Oh, my baby been unfaithful, she done a bad bad thing to me.
Yeah, my baby been unfaithful, she done a bad bad thing to me.
Now there's stains on my tighty-whities, and it's burnin' when I pee.

I gave you the sun and the moon, babe; I gave you the stars in the sky. 

I gave you the sun and the moon, babe; I gave you the stars in the sky. 

But what you gave me hurts me

Every time I zip my fly. 

Oh babe, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me when you knew?

Oh darling, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me once you knew?

'Cause if I'd known you was infected, I wouldn't have given it to Linda Lou. 

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Clicked the “don’t click” first.

Thanks for the ping.

Didn’t Blind Melon Chitlin’ record that song in 1952?

Well, I lasted for 8 minutes of the “Nyan Cat”. Whomever put that together needs to be hung, drawn, quartered, chopped into little pieces, those pieces jumped up and down upon, fed through a shredder, pressed under a road roller, burned, then dropped into an active volcano.

Thanks for the snicker.

so...it’s better to have failed a Wasserman test than never to have loved at all?

[Slings and Arrows]

If there’s a pickup truck in a blues song, it ran over the singer.

[Slings and Arrows]

I warned you, and you’re welcome.

Never had you pegged for soft on crime.

Nah, that was just the neurosyphilis kicking in.

I’m feeling kind and benevolent today, as I had a nice Christmas. LOL
