Synthoid Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Songs circulate around in your mind, and they come and go. I vaguely remember an amusing tune back in the 70's that had unusual lyrics. Something about eating crayfish and this short misconstrued snippet that my friend sang: "Pick guitar, spill-proof jar..." It's not much to go on, but does anyone have a clue what song it was?

MuzikTeechur Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hm... Google search didn't find anything, but Amazon will sell spill-proof jars in which to keep your crawfish... https://www.amazon.com/Stock-Your-Home-Multipurpose-Container/dp/B072QFT2C5?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1 Muzikteechur is Lonnie, in Kittery, Maine.

Synthoid Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Ah thanks. I believe chicken gumbo was also mentioned in the song. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chigson Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Here you go, I believe this is it. [video:youtube] edit: at least my job taught me how to google effectively if you can't tell the difference, does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthoid Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yes, that's the one! But someone else sang it though... not the Carpenters. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Link Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jambalaya_(On_the_Bayou) Lots of covers. From the 70s, youre maybe thinking of Emmy Lou Harris or Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. aka âmisterdregsâ Nord Electro 5D 73 Yamaha P105 Kurzweil PC3LE7 Motion Sound KP200S Schimmel 6-10LE QSC CP-12 Westone AM Pro 30 IEMs Rolls PM55P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthoid Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 She mentioned crawfish pie and Philly Gumbo. I guess they make that with leftover cheese steaks. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Beaumont Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 There are lots of covers of that song. It was written & released in 1952 by Hank Williams. I have played it for my father who has Alzheimer's. He has almost no short term memory but still remembers old songs from his youth.

Ken Beaumont Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It is interesting to see all these takes on this simple song. The only one I didn't really care for is the Carpenters version.
