…in a Mini-van. A friend of mine in NC has a radio show that plays in the morning with the adventures of “married man” and his arch nemesis “divorced guy”. Part of it is a little song about married man driving around in a mini-van. Anyone have a link to this show or sound bites from it? I’d love to have that song as a wav file. My husband and I sing it all the time to the guys in mini-vans while we’re out cruising on the Harley.

Can the mods please put this in MPSIMS?

(Unless someone wants to give crass replys to my nice question)

Boy it sure is embarassing posting to the wrong forum. Almost as bad as overflowing the toilet at work on your second day.

The show is called [John Boy & Billy’s Big Show](http://www.thebigshow.com). You can listen to it on the net, but I have not found any sound bites of married man yet. The show is mainly redneck humor. The dumb crook news is my favorite segment.

The show that does Married Man is The John Boy and Billy Big Show and their address is [http://www.thebigshow.com](http://www.thebigshow.com) however, I don’t think there is anyting on there about Married man, his sidekick, College buddy, or Divorced Guy, their arch enemy.

Married man  
Married man  
Drives around in a mini van  
“something something”  
listen kids  
his whole life  
is on the skids  
hey there…  
it’s about time he grew up  
wherever there’s a screw up  
you’ll find the married man

Has a big gas grill  
buys his clothes at the gap  
and he’s just about  
had enough of this crap!

Married Man  
Married Man  
friendly neighborhood  
Married man  
“something something”  
listen kids  
his whole life  
is on the skids  
hey there…  
it’s about time he grew up  
wherever there’s a screw up  
you’ll find the married man  
That’s about all I remember of the song…sang to the tune of Spider man.  
Good luck. There are a lot of John boy and billy fans out there (they are the #1 or #2 syndicated morning show out there) so if you do a search on them or Married man, maybe you can find it.

Here is what I remember of the theme song (to the tune of Spiderman)

Married man, married man  
drives around in a mini van  
got a wife, and some kids  
his whole life, is in the skids  
hey there, the goes the married man  
hanging on, by a thread  
quart of milk, loaf of bread  
look out, the goes the married man

- more song I can’t remember here -

got a big gas grill, buys his clothes at the Gap  
and he’s just about had enough, of her crap  
she says, it’s about time he grew up  
wherever there’s a screw up  
you’ll find a married man!

There’s also Drinking Buddy! And when his wife calls him on the cell phone (always when he’s in the middle of superhero stuff) she sounds like Charlie Brown’s mom!

That’s exactly what I was looking for! I couldn’t remember the redneck’s names so I couldn’t search it. Thanks!

This is deserving of its own thread, but since we’ve already got a thread that’s assisting in hunting up other than mainstream music, I’ll post here.

WZZR in Ft. Lauderdale plays some really bizarre stuff every Saturday. (They are a talk radio format 6 days a weekn and go somewhat off the deep end on Saturdays by playing nothing but humorous tracks.)

Anyway, there’s a song entitled, “By My CD” that is absolutely hilarious.

Has anyone else heard this song? In particular can anyone tell me where to get a wav, mp3 or other electronic form of the song?

Thanks for the thread, **Zette**.

This is where I get some of my bits.

Click on “Entertainment”, then “parody songs” or “parody commercials”  
Very funny stuff. My favorite is “Bad Actor Theatre”
