“If you listen closely to Darren’s version (my favorite!) he givers her a nod: ‘Look out ole’ Lotte Lena, old Mackie’s back’”

Yes, I heard those lyrics the very first time I heard that song. I think that it was some time in the 20th century when I was *mumble-mumble* years old! ;-)

The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

The Night the Lights Stayed On in Pittsburgh

That's the night the lights stayed on in Pittsburgh.
That's the day that the rain forgot to fall.
That's the night I thought of moving to Vicksburg.
That's the day that nothing happened at all.

“I’d watch Sean Connery if all he did was stare into the camera for two hours!”

Uh-oh! There you go again! ;-)

I’m sorry! The devil made me do it!

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it!

Not a country and western fan but I thought Johnny Cash’s song about stealing a car from the manufacturer was pretty funny. Not sure of the title but the refrain was “I took it one piece at a time and it didn’t cost me a dime...”

Love the Moodies! Once took a road trip and played my cassette of “Days of Future Passed” over and over the whole time...

I think we're thinking of the same song. The "hook" in Twilight Zone is "When the bullet hits the bone."

Lots of great songs!!!!

Here are some which were not listed, the first is a bit obscure:

Don't lay no boogie woggie on the King of Rock and Roll - Long John Baldry

(Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger and Reginald Dwight all played in his band at various times)

Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson

Roland the headless Thompson Gunner- Warren Zevon

Too dark? OK, try this one:

Hang down your head Tom Dooley

Shackleford Brown has a couple of good ones. “Southern Drifter”, and “Up From the Bottom”. The first line of “up from the bottom kinda sums it up. “People don’t get to know you if you don’t get caught”
