Apologies to Randy Newman

To paraphrase Randy Newman:
Last night I saw Lester Miles on a TV show
With that smart-arse Kurt Herbdouche
And Herbie laughed at Lester Miles
And the audience laughed at Lester Miles too
He may be a fool, but he's our fool.
If you think you're better than him, you're wrong
So I went to the park and took some paper along
And that's where I wrote this song:
We talk real funny down here
We drink too much and we laugh too loud
We'd never live in no Northern town
Keepin' the Gayters down
We got Jort-wearing Swampers from Gainesville
And Cock Lovers from Columbia, SC
And college men from LSU
Went in smart - come out smarter too
Hustlin' 'round Atlanta with their tailgate crew
Gettin' drunk every weekend at their Pre-Game Barbecue
Keepin' the Bammers down
We're Tigers, we're Tigers
Unlike Gumps we know our arse from a hole in the ground
We're Tigers, we're Tigers
We're keeping the Sooey Pigs down
Now your northern fan can be a Buckeye
You see he's got his slow-arse "D"
Down here we've come to realize
That the Yankees & SEC let the Tigers run free
Yes we're free to put a whoopin'
on frickeyes from Columbus
And we're free to put a whoopin'
on the Laters from Norman
And we're free to put a whoopin'
on Bullpups from Athens, from Starkville
And we're free to put a whoopin'
on the Vols from Knoxville
And we're free to put a whoopin'
on the Seamen from Nashville
And we're free to put a whoopin'
on the Tigers, War Eagles, and Plainsmen from Auburn
And we're free to put a whoopin'
on the Trunk Humpers from Tuscaloosa
We're gatherin' 'em up for Les Miles & the Boys
Keepin' the Rebels down
We're Tigers, we're Tigers
Unlike AR-Kansans we know our arse from a hole in the ground
We're Tigers, we're Tigers
We're keeping the Mildcats down
We are keeping the Gayters down

Lester Maddox was also an idiot, but he did have a big ol' brain. Unlike The Dumbass.
Well done.

Great job TM58 ! Of course the source song
"Rednecks" is from the Randy Newman album " Good Old Boys ", about half of which was about Louisiana in particular and the rest about the South in general . There is another song on the album titled " Wedding In Cherokee County " that sounds like it was inspired by Eudora Welty with a little Faulkner thrown in .
The opening line was: " Papa was a midget , mama was a whore , granddad was a newsboy til he was 84 , what a slimy old bastard he was " , followed later in the song by the anatomical sexual metaphor : " why must everyone laugh at my mighty sword ? " While the song was hilarious it was hard to understand the inspiration .
Years later , I believe it was David Letterman , asked Randy Newman about the song . Newman said he had always wanted to write a song about people from the country Albania because a really high % of circus people were from there (in other words freaks, clowns , crazies and other wierdos) Then Newman said that about half way into writing the song he realized he didn't know enough about people from Albania to finish the song so " I just switched it to Alabama ! "
Geaux Randy ROLL TIDE !!!
