This is a parody country song with a fat-bottomed girl in a Conway Twitty T-shirt.

Instruments BIAB. _UPNOVER.STY

https://soundcloud.com/user-76836945-522642460/square-dance?si=bf8a8c3622564e588f7f9a0b7c61e438&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

It was another hot Saturday night
the yellow moon was shining just right
for our weekly square dance and slug fest
I was dancing with a pretty girl
And got too frisky during her twirl
not mindful of her lurking boyfriend
He planned to make her his wife
and cut me with a switchblade knife
I'm not sure I’ll be seeing her again

Bandage on my arm I returned to dance
with a roll of quarters in my pants
At least that’s what I said when asked
Promenaded left as the caller said
Dancing with a partner who was too well-fed
Saw my buddies laughing at my plight
Allamande left then right and left grand
That was the point when I dropped her hand
And begged off claiming recent loss of blood

I returned so I could do-si-do
A fat-bottomed girl said she was good to go
She was wearing a Conway Twitty t-shirt
I squared up and did a quick sashay
Found an excuse so I could get away
But I was blocked by her big legged girlfriend
The caller yelled out “Now box the gnat”
I told the girls I need to grab my hat
And made a dash for the nearest doorway

Sitting in the parking lot with a luke-warm beer
Wondering what the hell I’m doing here
Realizing small towns are all much the same
Found the bullies ride, a brand new Jeep
I relieved myself on the driver’s seat
Without his knife he wouldn’t have much to say
His girlfriend came out for a smoke
We went around back and I gave her a poke
I really hope she enjoys her wedding day

Nothing to do so do what you can
And hope to make it to become a man
Flirting with danger is no easy way to go
Life can be hard and is often slow
And to get along you gotta go with the flow
Swimming against the tide only gets you beat down
Buck the status quo to pass the time
Hang out with friends who have the same mind
Southern man can keep his head after all.

This song is a hoot... a great story.
The song structure/arrangement could use some work, and your vocal timing is a mess, but you get the point across... I love it.

Fun story for sure. Good band, and excellent vocal, Blong. A lot of good lyrics, and the last line of each verse says it all.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Well, that set expectations right. laugh

Fun listen!

Worthless trivia from Wikipedia (since you allude to it in your last line):

Quote:
In his book Waging Heavy Peace: A Hippie Dream, Young stated that Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote "Sweet Home Alabama" not in response to "Southern Man", but rather to Young's song "Alabama". Young noted that Lynyrd Skynyrd's implied criticism was deserved because Young's lyrics to Alabama were condescending and accusatory.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Some of the lyrics are factual. As an adolescent in a small South Georgia town I did go to square dances because that is where the girls were. A friend did cut me with a (pocket) knife because I was dancing with a girl he liked. Actually, he and I were in a band together and remained friends (Bro's before adolescent girls who did you a favor by dancing with you.) Interesting tidbit about Neil Young. Nice catch.
