Ferlin Husky - The Drunken Driver (1954)

Anti drink driving song from 1954. Sad tale and bizarre. "Get out of the road yer little fools !" A classic 'death disc' from Ferlin Husky. The other side being 'Slow Down Brother'.

If you play a sad Country song backwards, you get your house, your wife and your kids back!!!

@ambyyy1 then I would be sad.

I laughed so hard I nearly woke my neighbor. This is the best unintentionally hilarious song since "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning"

And apparently the kid's death rattle was a guitar arpeggio.

@chrisjt86 yep sure is unintentionally funny. We shouldn't laugh.

"Drunken Driver" is a serious song about what happens when people drink and drive. Hearing this song makes me cry, nothing to laugh about here. I wish that more people would sit down and listen to it, there is a lesson to be learned. I just discovered that Ferlin Husky passed away. He will certainly be missed.
