Wabash Cannonball
"Ruthless Cannonball"

"This parody song was written and performed by reporters covering Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. Kennedy apparently found it amusing."

Being 75, he's probably not familiar with Eels, but I've always loved the song Railroad Man

Not my dad's taste, but a pretty good song. Haven't heard this.

Eels


Side bar to the topic, The Eels are very talented and have a unique and catchy sound. I only wish their music wasn't so profanity laced. The song referenced isn't that way, but I find a lot of their music is.

I had forgotten how beautiful the song 500 Miles is.


Yeah, back in the days of lawless p2p file sharing I had several versions of it on one of my old computers. It's a very soothing, sorta sad song. Also liked Bobby Bare's version among others.
