I learned (and still perform given the chance) a blues tune from a Party 
record! The
original was on the "Whiz" label...and showed only its title "Garbage Man!" 
The
lyrics are more suggestive than obscene ("Up the hill I pushed a cart - 
pushed it
so hard it made me [silence]"). I re-wrote them in a similar fashion (I sing 
"F...reeze")
and "covered" the result on my second blues-CD release!

Alsonote that David Diehl has a web site "The Blue Pages" devoted to party
records!
