LOL...I thought the title read "COMPOSTING" songs.

 

[Where~the~wind~blows]

OMG Joey, I was just thinking the same thing! and came in here to say , I have been vandwelling to long!

I was looking at composting toilets earlier. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

That one was more-or-less to the tune of <em>'The Yellow Rose of Texas'</em>.&nbsp; I don't want to rob your macho, Joey, but if you ain't going to write a song about composting toilets, LP gas and Walmart parking lots I might have to do it my ownself.&nbsp; Searching my mind this moment for the background melody.<br /><br />But I'd rather you wrote it.

 

[josephusminimus]

If you do decide to write it, Joey, I'll focus my own humble efforts on <em>'Slab City Sue'</em> ['Souix City Sue'] or <em>'Working on the Van'</em> [Roy Orbison's <em>'Working for the Man'].</em>

<br /><br />Nice piece of work.&nbsp; I like her leopardlike upholstery, too.&nbsp; WalMart's missing a good bet by not renting out post office boxes <br /><br />Lobo might be old enough to partner up with her if he's still alive:<br /><br />[video]
