[kristenboozer]

I used this same song for an animation class I had several years ago. My mom used to play this all the time for me and my brother. I'm so glad to see someone appreciates it as much as I do!

[boyterc]

I remember hearing this song on the radio in the early 70s when I lived in Nebraska. My dad bought the single and probably still has it.

[CorporateShrink]

Louden Wainwright...

[CorporateShrink]

Your video is brilliant! This is a song that touched the hearts of all native Fallbrookians. Dead skunks' aroma wafted through the Friendly Village, blending in with the early morning fog....ahhh...memories....

I live in Minnesota. Dead skunks happen all the time. Every time we pass one my husband starts singing this song at the top of his lungs. lol

[shazaz2122]

I love this song, I sing it out loud going down the road in my car, Had to special ordr it the 1st time, had the store play it when it arrived, now they have it in stock !!! Great campfire song, 25 yrs ago is when I heard it last, so glad I found out who sang this song to order it,, The reactions I get for playing this song are always positive and where can I get a copy!

[shazaz2122]

I missed hearing that song for about 25 yrs when I learned who sang this song,I ordered it. When the cd arivd I asked the store to play it. there was such an amazing response to it that ,when I came into order a 2nd cd cause my 1st one disappeared I didn't have to special order it cause they had it in stock!! I play it really loud when Im cruising in my car, I love to get reactions from people's face's when they hear the lyrics, Great campfire song and all the kids love to sing it too!!!

[mixsorr]

I shoulda looked left and I shoulda loked right...

This song is ballin

[SoutherngentFL]

I sang this song to my kids as they grew up, they were certain I made it up. Now I have the evidence that "yes, this is a real song". Love it love it!

[eadaibabe]

I love love love this. When i was a kid my dad and i would sing this and dance like crazy. Happy and far off days.....

[tubachick]

HAHAHA, this is amazing!!!!

[stonedrolling]

great video to go with it, but agree about the missing middle. Have never heard this on the radio since it was a hit.This was the first song I ever did a search on, when I got my first pc. Memories of riding around in the country in Dad's Opel Cadet station wagon. LOL. Heads a bopping, hands a clapping and feet stomping on the floorboards to the beat of Dead Skunk. Thanks for sharing.

[mpsarge1]

yes been yrs since i heard this on the radio..lol and funnier still would be seeing any opel cadets, i havnt seen them on the road since the 60's and the opel gt.

[stonedrolling]

Yes, the opel gt. I tried, in vain, to talk my dad into trading the station wagon in on a gt. lol. He also owned a Saab, 99 series, I think. Tried to get him to buy the Sonnet too. No luck. "When you get a job, you can buy one" Dad. I bought a Fiat.

[OldIronbutt]

Will never forget. Shortly after it came out there was a dead skunk in the middle of the highway in front of the bank at Aberdeen Proving Grnd, Md. Took months for the smell to go away.

[worknwoman]

I love this old song!

[TatorPuff]

amazing

[TuxKamen]

Nice video, but where's the middle verse?

[CaptCalStudios]

i had to cut it down otherwise i wouldnt have been able to make the my deadline. i wish i could have included the entire song.

[TuxKamen]

That's understandable. Once again, excellent video, I especially like the end, with the hat trade. :-)

[chimichangascroll]

JA JA JA JA JA JA!!! XD

[TurquoiseTantrum]

gross

[BPanther]

Funny !
