More true stuff off the newswire: Dateline: Shingletown, California 1/26/12 70 year old William Oller shot his 50 year old son William Jr last week at a local residence, while he was singing a Kenny Chesney song using a karaoke machine. The father briefly left the home saying �I�m gonna shut you up,� returning moments later with a hand gun. Shots were fired striking the younger Oller several times and during the ensuing struggle the elder Oller accidently shot himself in the leg. From his hospital bed Oller, who was shot in the head, forgave his father claiming recent strokes had altered his emotional state. The DA may not be so forgiving.

The Ballad of the Showdown in Shingletown How many times have I told you Not to play that song It’s bad enough that damned machine Lets you sing along Your nasal voice destroys that tune Which makes me really mad So now I gotta shoot you Even though I am your dad Don’t mess up Kenny Chesney That’s all I got to say It’s blasphemous karaoke I’ve gotta blow your ass away The next American idol You will never be Cause when you mess up Kenny The only judge is me She thinks my tractor’s sexy Back in my hometown No shoes, no shirt, no problem When the sun goes down There goes my life In my old blue chair Everybody wants to go to heaven I’m about to send you there Don’t mess up Kenny Chesney That’s all I got to say It’s blasphemous karaoke I’ve gotta blow your ass away The next American idol You will never be Cause when you mess up Kenny The only judge is me Copyright 2012 Patrick Granfors

I guess it's a good thing that Mean Tall Woman doesn't know where I hide the key to the gun cabinet. Me and the Mangy Mutts howl out C&W tunes all the time.

Good one Patrick, I can see it climbing the charts, as we speak.

You left out YOU AND TEQUILA DRIVE ME CRAZY and THE BOYS OF FALL though.... booze, sex and, of course, FOOTBALL. How could you?

I only sing along when you're not home, so I'm safe. Funny. Tix available in July if you want to hear 100,000 people singing along.
