[Bicycle_Bill]

I am surprised that so many obvious ones were missed on the “Songs that Mention Tools” thread – for example, Roger Miller’s ‘King of the Road’ (pushing a broom) or Elvis Presley’s ‘Steamroller Blues’ (steamrollers, or course) or Bobby Goldsboro’s ‘Elusive Butterfly’ (nets of wonder) or even Cardi B’s ‘WAP’ (a mop) – and instead we have ‘hammer’ being used a total of four times… although I doubt even I would have ever come up with ‘gas-powered weed-whacker’. Oh well.
