Favorite Roger Miller song

Poll question: Favorite Roger Miller song

[Lautremont]

1. I like two of them equally the best:

What Are Those Things (With Big Black Wings)
and
My Uncle Used to Love Me (But She Died)

Miller is ever so much more than King of the Road and a few other goofy greats.

[Tikki]

2. Any and all of 'em....

Roger Miller's music was the joy of my, often, sad childhood. I adored that man...teeth in or out.

3. Just realized I forgot "Chug-A-Lug"!

(D'oh!)

Makes you wanna holler hi-de-ho!
Burns your tummy, don'tcha know?
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug...

[BlueHandDuo]

9. At least one of those "Other" votes...

...is a vote (mine) for "Chug-A-Lug."

[BurtWorm]

4. Where's "That's When I Reach for My Revolver?"

:wtf:

Where's "Academy Fight Song?"









PS: ;)

6. oh, I geddit

it's a Mission of Burma thing

[mitchum]

10. Damn you! Great minds!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

5. I have a cd-quality mp3 of him singing

Me And Bobby McGee. Excellent.

I also love King Of The Road.

[AntiCoup2K4]

7. "Fly Like An Eagle". Or maybe "The Joker"

.....oh, wait.... that's Steve Miller isn't it?

Sorry, I used to like the guy on Weekend Updates, but ever since he sold out to the Busheep, Roger's become a total ass :silly:

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

8. One of his early obscure ones - "I Catch Myself Cryin'"

It don't matter
One way
Or another
I say
But I'm lyin'
'Cos I catch myself cryin'

[UpsideDownFlag]

11. chicken ain't chicken

till it's lickin' good and fried.

12. "Old Friends" with Willie Nelson and Ray Price.

The Wild Child died before his time. Definitely multi-talented.

13. "In the Summertime" and this is not the Mungo Jerry tune

[mac56]

16. "In the summertime ...

"... when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I’ll be blue
’cause you don’t want my love ..."

[Voltaire]

14. I am not sure of the title but it kind of goes

Its my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline in the number of husbands and wives. . .

[mac56]

15. "Husbands and Wives"

Great song.

[LWolf]

17. The first two...equally.

These are two of the first songs I ever heard/learned on the radio as a young kid, along with "the birds and the bees" by Herb Newman.

My mom and I used to sing them while we walked places or waited for the bus; she didn't have a car. They're hardwired into my system.
