SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Challenge:  The 'song subject' for the great Easter Bonnet(?) Special Challenge was this news story -- DATELINE: GRETNA, Louisiana -- The debate was serious.  The vote unanimous.  The Gretna City Council says it's now legal in Louisiana to throw women's underwear from Carnival floats.  "So we're pro-panties -- it's on the record," joked one city councilman.  However, it is still illegal to throw anything that is ". . . lewd or lascivious and includes, but is not limited to, condoms and inflatable paraphernalia."   The panty-throwing issue was pushed by protesting parade organizers.  "If panties are . . . vulgar, why are they exposed in every department store in the nation?" asked one of the captains of the Elks Krewe of Gretna.  Another Mardi Gras group captain firmly agreed.  "Panties have been a legitimate throw for Mardi Gras for years," he said.!


Go On And Throw-O by Troll

In Gretna I'm told that
The councils so bold that
They passed a decree for the high and the low
That girls on the floats-o
You fellows take notes-o
Can take off their panties and go on and throw

Chorus:
Can go on and throw-o,
Can go on and throw-o
Can take off their panties and go on and throw

In Mardi Gras time
You will find it's no crime
If you ride through the town with your undies pulled low
And if you see a guy-o
Who catches your eye-o
Just take off your panties and go on and throw.

Chorus:
Just go on and throw-o
Just go on and throw-o
Just take off tour panties and go on and throw.

If you want lingerry
To make the boys merry
Victoria's Secret's the place you should go
You'll find they've all kinds dear
They've got silks so fine dear
That you can put on and then take off and throw

Chorus:
Can take off and throw-o
Can take off and throw-o
That you can put on and then take off and throw.
