The Statler Brothers were underappreciated.
I was just listening to some of their Gospel work. Good stuff.
Thanks for the smile. We got this CD about the time my youngest started figuring out how jokes work. One Saturday she suddenly announced, “Daddy, there’s a joke in that song. And I get it!”
Good memories all around.

50s porn music?
The Oompa Loompas made 50’s porn music?
Oh, come on people!
Porn music mah butt.
Seriously? I thought that was The Oakridge Boys.
The Statler Brothers have been around longer than the Oak Ridge Boys, but I can understand the confusion. Listening to that song took me back in such a good way. I grew up hearing that stuff as my mom and aunts were huge fans and had their music on ALL the time.
I credit the Statler Brothers with being one of the top three inspirations that led me to eventually be good enough to be a semi-professional singer.
They would tour with Carl Perkins, the Carter Family, sometimes Waylon Jennings, and of course Johnny Cash. All in one show.
That’s a lot of entertainment bang for your buck.
Jesus, that would have been a hell of a show.

Oh, I know, I grew up listening to the Statler Brothers, but I’ve never heard them do “Elvira.” I know all the words to lots of their songs. 
Aren’t they all together on Live at San Quentin?
