That's a 1961 Chevy wagon. My dad had a 1962 Chevy wagon with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. I am sure he hit a skunk with it somewhere along the way.
How can you not laugh at this song? If you take the time to see the cheezy video, you will laugh even more!! Just goes to show you can make money from the strangest things!! This one just came to him when he was out on a Sunday drive, lol
I wonder: did the person making the video not KNOW that "olfactory" refers to the sense of smell, or is the picture of the OLD FACTORY at 0:58 a visual pun?
Nice job on the banjo, by the way.
Love them banjos, love them visual puns, love them far-flung Wainwright songs & stories.
Oh gosh...I was in class and earlier that day I asked on facebook what song I shoud sing for some audition thing.My teacher came up to me,and said he had a song.He showed me this song for it and I'm like NO
I used to kid a pal of mine about how awful rock lyrics are. Then one night, he heard this song on the radio, and said I have no business yapping about rock lyrics, because no rocker would write a song about a dead skunk in the middle of the road. Be that as it may, this is a folk classic, and that guy is a musical Philistine.
@shaderunnergm Yeah, but what caused the whales death and subsequent accelerated decompositon was the whale accidentally consuming a big mac, 6 chicken nuggets AND that damnable McRib abomination. Thus proving...that crap is bad for everything.

The whale decayed and the gases inside made it explode. I saw a show on it. It was amazing and horrifying at the same time ; )
