Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

All I can pick up is something about a potato, or something.

Big plum for Taj Mahal…..and co-writing it with Yank "elder statesman of the blues," Rachell was another plum.

Thanks!

She caught Potato and left me a mule to ride
She caught Potato and left me a mule to ride
Yeah, my baby caught Potatoes, left me a mule to ride

i have four or five little books by gavin edwards (with little drawings) and they're so fun to read:
"he's got the whole world in his pants" (in his hands)
"scuse me while i kiss this guy" (kiss the sky)
"when a man loves a walnut" (woman)

they were from the 1990s and are all, sadly, out of print

a library might be able to order them for you to read tho.

Mondegreen - Learned a new word today!

I misheard the lyrics on a cassette before Bad Moon Rising even got radio airplay. John Fogerty had fun by inserting the bathroom lyrics in concerts, and his fans loved it.
