There’s been mention of the relationship between Loudon Wainwright III & his son Rufus being ‘complicated.’ They’ve spent decades writing songs about each other, going all the way back to Loudon’s "Rufus Is a Tit Man." #LoudonWainwrightIII #RufusWainwright #OneHitWondered
Some of you oldsters might remember Loudon Wainwright III as Captain Calvin Spalding, the ‘singing surgeon,’ on 3 episodes of TV’s M*A*S*H…performing songs written for the show. Folk music, but with some Army boots. #MASH #LoudonWainwrightIII #OneHitWondered
Loudon Wainwright III has had a career spanning over 25 studio albums, but only the one US #Top40 hit: the 1972 novelty single "Dead Skunk". Legend says Wainwright wrote it in just 15 minutes after seeing roadkill on a highway… True? Who knows? #LoudonWainwrightIII #OneHitWondered

Loudon Wainwright III showed up in the late ’60s & was one of those poor, unfortunates who were stuck with the ‘new Dylan’ label. He released his self-titled debut in 1970. Style? Witty, nakedly honest, & often bitingly satirical… and pretty funny, too. #LoudonWainwrightIII #OneHitWondered
This week’s retro music trawl is built around artists who are not comedians but are frequently hilariously funny in their songs, to include @jakethackray.bsky.social #LoudonWainwrightIII #TomLehrer @randynewman.bsky.social #JonathanRichman #HalfManHalfBiscuit

🎶 There's a Bible in the drawer don't be afraid/ I'll put up the sign to warn the cleanup maid/ ... I'll buy you breakfast, they'll think you're my wife/ Come up to my motel room, save my life

.. Hangovers and headaches/ They're last year's mistakes/ Tomorrow we go straight/ Quit smoking and lose weight/ If we get wrecked tonight/ It's a wake, it's all right
