Just found this one, but I’m a longtime fan of Puddles and I took an instant liking to it, as I do with many of his songs.

Red Peters was mentioned upthread for “The Ballad Of A Dog Named Stains”, but I want to add “How’s Your Whole… Family?” It’s PG-13 for its double-entendre, and likely NSFW, but it still makes me smile.

If you didn’t know, that’s actually a cover of a parody. (A good one, but it’s not his idea.) ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > If you didn’t know, that’s actually a cover of a parody. (A good one, but it’s not his idea.) Oh yeah. In the video description he thanks the original artist (Roger Clark, AKA Little Roger) for giving him permission to cover it. He didn’t technically need to ask permission, but he did. I was gonna post the original, but I liked the cover better. Puddles is pretty much awesome.
