@inneedoftherapie I was going to ask if it was Johnny doing the "mighty long way down" bit. Thanks for confirming my wonderful theory as fact. This song is hilarious.

I planned to hear Ole Johnny in 1983 in concert in Pittman, NJ. I even had the money for the ducket--but he got sent to rehab, and that was that. At least we've got youtube and CD's until we fans get up yonder and hear him sing up there. The angels needed a bass voice.

@saffernellie this song is still working on my end.

@saffernellie so You Tube has removed this great song. What a pity. Shel was such a talent in all his various works.

Saffy

So You Tube has removed. Distress and sadness.

shel was a genious, crazy as a loon, a rare gem. sadly he passed away at home in key west around 1998.

i've never heard Shel Silverstein sing anything. I know that he wrote a lot of hits.

I heard this in Australia years ago, sung by a fellow named John Laws, who has always been a Johnny Cash fan, just like myself and my wife.

OMG....thank you so freaking much....I met Shel one time in LA when I was 12 at a Hook show. He was an amazing man with a real twisted, but funny sense of humor.

When I tell my kids the guy that wrote the poetry book they read in grade school wrote "Boy named Sue" for JC, I had to prove it to them. Now both of my kids, 15 and 18 love Hook and JC.

I love singing along to this in the car on the way to work. It's freeing to build up to Mr. S's oh-so-coo-coo manic finale! All together now; Bow-bow-bagga-bagga-bow!!!
