FTM Garage Sale: Country

With over 470 parody album covers in the FTM storehouse, some as old as August of last year, things were getting a little musty in there... so I've decided to have a Farce the Music Garage Sale. Gotta get rid of some things I don't want anymore.

These covers include parodies based on jokes that are past their expiration date, some that are at their sell-by date and a few I'm just sick of looking at (ha ha, Collin Raye was in some underwear commercials, we get it!!). Not to say this is a bunch of crap (well, I guess that's debatable), there are plenty of snickers to be had (not the candy bar - you bring your own snacks) - you just may have to dig in your memory bank to remember what the heck I'm getting at with some of the humor.

It's time to streamline and clear away the chaff so future material will all be the cream of the crop (or crap, as it were). There are some 70+ covers that need to go, so I'll break this into a few days worth of material. Today's post will be entirely country covers - the rest run the gambit from hip hop to rock to odds & ends. Hope you find something that fits! No refunds! You break you buy! Don't park on the grass!

YouTube Gems: Jon Lajoie

An unnamed informant, who has provided me with humor inspiration and fodder in the past, sent me a link to a hilarious satire by Jon Lajoie called "Radio Friendly Song." Since I try to maintain at most a hard PG-13 rating on this blog, I'm not going to embed that video here, but if you don't mind quite a few swear words, look it up on YouTube - it's witty and catchy! There are a ton of other skits and satires by Jon on the YouTubes so look around, if his brand of humor suits you. Here's his less-likely-to-offend tune, "Stay at Home Dad," which reminds me a little of Diddy's (P, Puffy, Puff Daddy, Puffwad) rock remix of "All About the Benjamins."
