Bobby Bare, "Dropkick Me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life" football gets a passing mention in "A Chat With Your Mother" (multiple recordings). It's also mentioned in "Me and Jimmie Rodgers" by Shel Silverstein, recorded by Art Thieme on "That's the Ticket!" (Folk-Legacy). And there's that "Pass That Football" song that the Midnight Special used to play. I love The Mitchell Trio's performance of Tom Paxton's "Talking Football," on the "Violet's of Dawn" album, now out on CD. True, all of the references are dated, but the overall message is not. Incidentally, it's one of the rare Paxton songs that he never recorded. holy modal rounders "football blues" Anne Feeney on Heartland: Football Hero Cliff Edwards (Ukelele Ike) I'm a Bear in a Ladies Boodoir Fred Small - Jimmy Come Lately Chris Chandler - No One I Could Tallk about This With Bill Cosby - part of Hofstra Chuck Brodsky - Radio Chad Mitchell Trio - Talking Footballl Bus Boys - Tell the Coach Capitol Steps - Under the Goal Post Harry Lipson - Weenie Weenie Ru David Allen Coe - Young Dallas Cowboy Uncle Bonsai - Cheerleaders on Drugs capitol Steps - Mama Don't Let your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys Jerry Clower - Resort Hotel Horrell McGann - Bambler's Lament Richard Berman - Odessa Jonathon Winters - Football Game Lewis Grizzzard - How about Them Dogs Allen & Rossi - All America Football Coach Ian Whitcomb - All American Girl Ray Stevens \ Armchair Quarterback Larry Gorce - Billy Don Rice Justin Wilson - Complete Football Fan Jerry Clower - fifteen Yard Penalty Charlie Weaver - Fight for Subnormal You Bill Cosby - Football Eddie Lawrence - fine Football Weather Jonathon winters - Football Game Devid Massengill - Killer Keiler's Last Stand Chuck Brodsky - Great Santa Snowball Debacle Terry Kitchen -- Game They Never Played Terry Kitchen - Echo Hoosier Hot Shots - sam the College Lady Man Steve Earle's "No. 29" from Exit O is my favorite football song.... terry allen the great joe bob (about a football player gone bad) 'Keith Sykes - I Love Football "Ham Sunday" by Tim Lyons What It Was Was Football \ ANDY GRIFFITH \ What It Was Was AG \ EMI Talking Football \ THE MITCHELL TRIO \ Violets of Dawn \ Mercury Football Hero \ ANNE FEENEY \ heartland \ Super88
