Along Came The Jones

[OldasdirtDevil]

I was going through the threads (in the wee hours) again and ran across where Sky mentioned the old song "Along Came Jones", and I thought it might make a pretty good parody for our dynamic duo of Jones boys. Probably only the older guys can remember it.

"Along Came the Jones"

I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on the tv too
A bad azz team of Blue Devils was being chased by Coach Few
He had 'em on the run at NRG and said with an evil laugh,
"If you don't give me that berth to the Final Four
I'll saw you all in half."
Then his team mugged Duke (and then)
They tied the score up (and then)
He turned on the bandsaw (and then, and then...!)

And then along came the Jones
Balls made of Stones
Rootin' tootin' Ty Jones
Dead-eye shootin' Matt Jones
And the Devils movin' on

Commercial came on, so I got up to get myself a snack
You should've seen what was goin' on by the time that I got back
Down on that ol' hardwood floor, Coach Few was havin' fits
That Zag said, "Give me the berth to the Final Four
Or my team will blow you all to bits!"
Then his team mugged Duke (and then)
They tied the score up (and then)
He lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then, and then...!)

And then along came the Jones
Balls made of Stones
Rootin' tootin' Ty Jones
Dead-eye shootin' Matt Jones
And the Devils movin' on

I got so nervous I turned it off and took a breath so slow
But I turned it back on knowing fully that I may blow
Coach K tryin' to stuff Coach Few in a burlap sack
Few said, "If you don't give me the berth to the Final Four
I'm gonna throw your team on the railroad tracks!"
Then his team mugged Duke (and then)
They tied the score up (and then)
He threw the Devils on the railroad tracks (and then)
A train started comin' (and then, and then...!)

And then along came the Jones
Balls made of Stones
Rootin' tootin' Ty Jones
Dead-eye shootin' Matt Jones
And the Devils moving on

As one of the older guys on this board, I remember that song well Dirt. It was popular when I was in about the fifth or sixth grade. You did a great job with it, another OADD classic! OFC

Hahahaha! I love it OAD I'm not one of the old guys on the board but I've been a Ray Stevens fan all my life so I really love this

Glad you enjoyed it Heyman, Sky, & Pisgah. I took a little lyrical license while using the 'Jones' instead of the correct 'Joneses', but I didn't like the sound of it, so I just added 'the' to try to imply plurality. That was a mistake...should have left it as it was "Along Came Jones"...but hey...it was 5 o'clock and I was tired. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. So, take 'the' out and it flows (and sounds) much better.

Sky, thanks for posting those videos! I love both versions, and heard them many times over the years. I don't know if you or Heyman remember the Arthur Smith Show (I know Pisgah doesn't , but it came on in the mornings during the weekdays in the 60's. In my case I watched it on WBTV, channel 3 in Charlotte, NC. Anyway, they usually did skits with a song such as "Along Came Jones", "Ahab the Arab", etc. I loved those, and laughed like crazy. Oh, and don't ask why I might have been home watching those on a school day...well, okay...I was the original Ferris Bueller!

It was one of my parents favorite shows so I had to watch it. Even went to a live show at Walter Williams High School here. Wasn't a fan as a boy but remember the cast. Arthur smith and Brother Ralph, Tommy Fale and a woman that had mold on her face. Arthur Smith was recognized as a great guitar player and looking back he was. I remember he would make the strangest face when he played the guitar. OFC

Heyman, I said the 'Arthur Smith Show', and it kinda was, but it was his morning show version 'Carolina Calling'. It was on every morning for an hour from 7 to 8 I would watch it for the funny skits and songs that were on there...usually in the 2nd half hour. Tommy Faile, and others were on there also. I remember they would do their own 'Bost Bread' commericials...'If it's fresher than Bost's it's still in the oven." Anyway, sorry for the mix-up...my old brain cells had only part of it right.

Here is a short video of the WBTV sign on, then Arthur Smith on Carolina Calling, and part of a 'Counselors of the Airways' comedy skit with Tommy Faile.
