#488. Vito Scuffle

The Sopranos is easily the best television series in the history of HBO, if not all of television.  

Perhaps the biggest curve ball was Vito being spotted in a gay bar in Brooklyn.  Uh, I don't think anyone saw that one cuming.

Vito Scuffle

Vito sucked him off you say, he’s pitchin’ cock
But then Johnny Cakes kissed, and he’s hard as a rock
In a faggot bar ‘cause Brooklyn ain’t far, Sal made a stop
Like Village People from the good ship Lollipop

Next stop, Fort Lee, Vito received a beat down, pool cue too
He said, “It’s a joke say nothin’ Sal
Some douchebag from Yonkers Sal
Gimme a load“

Vito, whoa, oh-oh-oh
This isn’t funny, he likes to blow
Vito’s an a-recchion
Vito, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
He said, "It’s a joke say nothin’ Sal
Some douchebag from Yonkers Sal
Yo gimme a load“

Vito be chuggin’, checkin’ Little V until murder he wrote
Sayin’, “Medication caused it," could get a doctor’s note
He be fakin’ up the big lie Trumpin’ up a major crime, he isn’t woke
Sayin', "It’s a joke say nothin’ Sal
Some douchebag from Yonkers Sal
Yo gimme a load“

Vito, whoa, oh-oh-oh
This isn’t funny, he likes to blow
Vito’s an a-recchion
Vito, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
He said, "It’s a joke say nothin’ Sal
Some douchebag from Yonkers Sal
Yo gimme a load“

Vito, whoa, oh-oh-oh
This isn’t funny, he likes to blow
Vito’s an a-recchion
Vito, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
“It’s a joke say nothin’ Sal“

 

Lido Shuffle
Boz Scaggs

Lido missed the boat that day, he left the shack
But that was all he missed, and he ain't comin' back
At a tombstone bar in a juke joint car, he made a stop
Just long enough to grab a handle off the top

Next stop, Chi-town, Lido put the money down, let it roll
He said, "One more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One for the road"

Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
He said, "One more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One more for the road"

Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun until he got the note
Saying, "Tow the line or blow it, " and that was all she wrote
He be makin' like a beeline headin' for the border line, goin' for broke
Sayin', "One more hit oughta do it
This joint, ain't nothin' to it
One more for the road"

Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
"One more job oughta get it
One last shot, then we quit it
One more for the road"

Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
"One more job oughta get it" 

 

Such a phenomenal tune.  Never gets old.

Since 1973, Boz Scaggs has played the Burgh 13 times.  We got scagged for free.
