Hmmm.. Never realized that "Drinking Wine Spodey Odey" was a Jerry Lee
Lewis song. I'm only familiar with the Pere Ubu version..

RE #26 "Drinking Wine Spodey Odey" by Jerry Lee Lewis was a rather obscure
release from 1972 or 1973.

Fear did a whole album about beer, cleverly entitled "Have a Beer
With Fear."

re 26 and such: I think Professor Longhair (or some name like that)
did "Drinking Wine Spodey Odey" back in the 50's or so. Might have been
Memphis or New Orleans based.

Professor Longhair is certainly _a_ right name; don't know if it's the one
you're looking for.

What are other popular categories of song? Are people still writing songs
about going away and missing or being missed? (Like If you miss the train
I'm on or Carry me back to old Virginie or Freight Train). Any with
airplanes? Rocket ships? Skateboards?

How about "Leaving On A Jet Plane," written by the late John Denver and
performed by Peter Paul & Mary (their only #1 record, 1969)?

I can think of songs about rockets, but songs about leaving on a rocket?
Uh, "Rocket Man" by Elton John, I guess...

Skateboards? Hmmm, I'm sure the skaters have something out there.
All I can think of is "You Can't Roller Skate In a Buffalo Herd" or
whatever the title of that song is..

Leaving on a rocket: almost anything David Bowie wrote during certain phases.

Queen has a song called "Bicycle Race". Soundgarden has one called
"Kickstand". Overall you'd probably have better luck finding motorcycle songs
than bicycle songs, though.

Odd, I don't know a single motorcycle song. Or truck song. Or snowblower
song, are there any? Ski songs?

(Dukes of Stratosphear: "Bike Ride to the Moon". Combining both
bicycle *and* rocket themes.. There's a song for everything at
this point..)

D'oh! I was going to say that!
There's tons of train songs. "Born on a Train" and "Fear of Trains" by
the Magnetic Fields, "Train Song" and "Downtown Train" by Tom Waits...
just to name a few.

motorcycle songs.. hmm.. Judas Priest has got to have something.
What about "Leader of the Pack," an old '50s girl group song by.. ugh,
forgot their name.. ?
"Born to be Wild" is generally associated with a motorcycle ride, just
by the lyrics.
snowblower songs? hrm, hey Tim-- anything in the Dr. Demento archives?
(I've been out of touch since I can't get the show here.)

"Leader of the Pack" was by the Shangri-Las, the group who perfected
the three-minute-soap-opera girl-group song..

I'm pretty sure there must be a snowblower song in Bizet's "Carmen".
After all, it's a tragedy about a man who struggles with "Toro"s..
:-p

Would "The Zamboni Song" be close enough?

There's a Momus song about a girl and her iMac (told from the point of
view of the iMac).
