Album III, 1972
Written by Loudon Wainwright III
I came to LWIII's music through other albums and other songs, not through his one hit, this novelty number. He's a lyricist with introspective, brutally honest songs, when he's not penning insightful, witty lyrics, and that's what I love him for. This one, which I finally got around to hearing, is like Shania Twain's would-be paramour: it don't impress me much. The title says it all; it's about a dead skunk in the road. It's not a metaphor. It's not meant to be a life lesson. It's just a song about roadkill. That's nice, I guess?
