“In The Jailhouse Now” - Jimmie Rodgers

Y’all may remember this from the movie Oh Brother, Where Art Thou… As far as I can tell, this be the original.

And so the “theme” continues, heh…

“Folsom Prison Blues (Alternate Version) - Johnny Cash

Guess we’ve got an informal theme this week, heh. From the video poster’s comments:

Sam Phillips (Cash’s Sun producer) wanted to see if he could sing high like Elvis. Turns out he could.

Is this my first Johnny Cash post?!? Damn…

“Hello Dad, I’m In Jail” - Was (Not Was)

So how was your weekend, eh?

“Fat” - “Weird” Al Yankovic

Looks like tastesless week continues here on the music blogs. Max got a good one yesterday with the Vandals’ The Day Farrah Fawcett Died, and we’ve been debating the better “Weird” Al parodies of Michael Jackson songs.

Yes, we’re tacky.

Here’s a live video of “Weird” Al’s Fat, for my choice.

Do Patrick Swayze or Jeff Goldblum have any songs about them? I’m so going to hell for this…

“A Day in the Life of Green Acres” - Barnes and Barnes

More Barnes and Barnes goodness today. Tune in, turn on, trip out, yo.
