Funny how upbeat this song sounds considering what it is about. A man about to face the electric chair isn't the first thing I'd think of upon hearing this song. Love it.

[@dirtysheets3442]

PlaceholderName that’s what the blues is about

[@Gongasoso]

It had to be. The intrinsic moral in the enunciation subject is (ironically) shaky, so if the musicality was in any way dramatic it would jar the audience, because we wouldn't empathize easily with a man who murders children, whatever the reason behind it. Or at least, we shouldn't.

[@ArcoZakus]

Gongasoso, Yeah, it always kinda' bothered me to listen to Jethro Tull sing "Aqualung".

[@Gongasoso]

@@ArcoZakus Yeah, but he juxtaposes it nicely. Some parts jar, but other parts show empathy. I quite like Aqualung

[@ArcoZakus]

Gongasoso, Me, too -- except for the mental image created by the first eleven words. At least in that piece the mood of the music more closely resembles the lyrics, where this one has me tapping my toes to "... murdered her young ..." I'm often amazed by what songwriters do.

I fell in love with this song when i first heard it.

My friend PISTER DIED. but turned me on to you. Thanks. I took him and my Little Brother to their first Grateful Dead shows. He never got sober like we did. He's always with us and I treasure everything about that crazy kid❤

Back for my weekly re-watch of the best version of this song

[@mikecreed22]

I just love how he lets the song breathe at times, letting you catch your breath and then straight back into it. Brilliant and hella foot tappy and catchy.

[@sb7271]

This is the most up beat song about an execution probably ever

[@oceannewf]

True xD

[@cameronwaddell9565]

Don't forget the murder.

[@jerrylat5572]

They murdered his plants . Should be all fair n square now

[@jacindabezaldo5714]

I've got a huge crush on this guy, I swear.

[@Bunnybunbun82]

Jacinda Bezaldo he's super hot. It can't be helped! I like him best with like a two day beard

[@iammfkn5338]

This man’s music is my spirit animal, i think. It’s like he has written my life. I married her that same gold digger in Chapel Hill.

[@ingridrodriguez6796]

When he started singing that first line I immediately knew I was going to like him.

[@pascalbrousseau5163]

This song is one of my all time ever most loved songs.

[@dillon2469]

God I love happy sounding songs about murder.

Had to come back to this. The old good days flow too quick. But life is too sweet to focus on the past

[@lesgoodrich1446]

As a writer, the line, "Well, papa should be in my place / to fry like bacon, hang like lace,"... is one of this phrases you hear and think, 'damn, i wish I'd written that!' '"

[@lenamonroe2961]

My favorite line in the song

[@ArcoZakus]

Les Goodrich, If I had been good enough to write that I would be worried for my future. People who are that creative too often end up having very troubled lives. Maybe it's better to admire his genius than to have it ourselves.

[@cherade99]

As someone in the middle of writing my first album I can only hope to wring a few gems out like that!

[@angelsoto4670]

Can someone explain? I'm somewhat troubled by not knowing

[@cherylmiller6214]

@@angelsoto4670 He is being executed, "Fry like bacon" the electric chair, "hang like lace" to be hanged.

I played this as loud as my speakers went , windows down , smiling with a mischievous from through Walmarts parking lot, stopping in front of the grocery door. I got several "who is this?":and alot of smiles & thumbs up, many wearing Walmart Blue. Thanks for putting into words how I and most everyone i know feels about the Big Bue Shopping God they call Walmart!!
