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.!

I Should Have Stayed In Bed by Osmium

I should have stayed in bed
With her panties on my head
Instead of which
I'm in this ditch
And all washed up instead

Went to the Mardi Gras
To catch my girl a bra
A float went by
And a sheepish guy
Threw his jock-strap over far

It landed on my right foot
Got tangled in my left foot
Stuck to me fingers
The smell of it still lingers
And trips me over a bloody root.

(repeat first verse)
