I think it's one and the same song - different artists? My cousins and I used to sing this one until we drove our parents crazy!

 

Crossin' the highway late last night

He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right

He didn't see the station wagon car

The skunk got squashed and there you are!

 

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

 

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!

Roll up yer window and hold yer nose

You don't have to look and you don't have to see

'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

 

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

 

Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog

On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog

Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon

The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

 

C'mon stink!

 

You got it!

It's dead, it's in the middle

Dead skunk in the middle!

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high heaven!

All over the road, technicolor man!

Oh, you got pollution

It's dead, it's in the middle

And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven

If anyone is trolling on this thread, it is Cheap.....

 

Oh, yeah – I created the Music Forum & love to disrespect it by trolling. :rolleyes:

 

Me, a music troll – that could be the funniest thing I have ever read on SDC.

 

You guys give me YOUR definition of that ambiguous term hit & I be a little less vicious :D

 

To me the only TRUE “one-hit wonder” would be an artist who only recorded TWO songs: an A-Side single (that peaked at least in the Top 20 of Billboard's singles chart) & its B-Side.

 

Record label A&R people will always try to cash in on the success of one song by quickly releasing a follow-up. Said follow-ups, in some instances, never live up to the prior song. If it enters the Billboard charts, it is a “hit” (ambiguous) in some region of the country ... someone played it & someone bought it.

It was actually England Dan and John Ford Coley; they had other hits but no titles come to mind right now.

 

"Nights Are Forever Without You"

 

"We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again"

 

"Love Is The Answer"

The band who sand Father of Mine, and Buy you a new Life are the same band Everlast who had a few good songs...nothing incredible, but they were on Billboard I am pretty sure....
