Has anybody ever heard the song "Special Fred" by comedian Steven Lynch?

Tom · July 13, 2003, 06:10:17 PM

Mamma told me I was good lookin' too. :D

That Steve Lynch must be a Mich. thing, Jeff.

When I was a boy of 10,
I had a very best friend.
Fred was kind, with good intent
But just a little different.

Special Fred,
Momma dropped him on his head.
Now he's not so bright, instead
He's a little bit special.
Just a little bit.

We played tag, and he'd get hurt.
I'd play "soldier", He'd eat dirt.
I liked math and the spelling bee.
Fred liked talking to a tree.

Special Fred,
Momma dropped him on his head.
Now she keeps him in the shed,
'Cuz he's a little bit special.
Just a little bit.

I ran track, hung out in malls.
Fred ran head first into walls.
I had girls, and lots of clothes.
Fred had names for all his toes.

Special Fred,
Momma dropped him on his head.
Now he thinks he's a piece of bread,
'Cuz he's a little bit special.
Just a little bit.

One day talking to Special Fred,
He grabbed a brick and he swung at my head.
And as he laughed at me that's when I knew
That Special Fred just made me special too.

Now I laugh as I count bugs.
I give strangers great, big hugs.
Next to me, Fred is fine.
Yeah, he's a f--kin' Einstein.

Special Fred and me,
Now we're not right in the head you see.
Now we're not so bright intead
We're a little bit special.
Just a little bit special.
That b**tard Fred made me special.
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit...special

I think Jeff's computer is broke. :-/

Neat song. Some of the lyrics remind me of Charlie. :D

I hit him in the head with a frying pan once. :-/

Fla._Deadheader · July 13, 2003, 06:14:58 PM

Didn't know Readers Digest was in the lumber grading business???

Tom · July 13, 2003, 06:50:27 PM

Now I can't find it again. I'm getting the same error that Jeff got. Jeff, it's contagious.

:D Everything I've heard about brown eyes belongs on the 0ut-house thread. :-/

Jeff · July 13, 2003, 06:55:07 PM

Jealously rears its ugly head. I was looking for one where I didnt look so inteligent but couldnt find any.

Oh, and about the link, the kid has always been ahead of his time. ;D

Tom · July 13, 2003, 07:09:10 PM

plhue-hhp-hhp-hhp

That's a raspberry sound. :-/ :D

Dang......that was a neat page too.

that's just like Reader's Digest. They keep making stuff smaller till they finally go away. :-/

OneWithWood · July 14, 2003, 10:23:40 AM

Tom, it worked for me just now.

JeffB. My name aint Fred but I have always talked to trees - guess I'm special too :D ;D

ohsoloco · July 14, 2003, 10:32:37 AM

There's some good info. on that page. That article appeared in American Woodworker a few years back. I used a few cherry boards with knots and pith in it to cut all the rails and stiles for my hutch doors. I like to save the nice wide stuff for my panels

Hey, that page worked for me too...I must be shpecial too ;D

Jeff · July 14, 2003, 12:48:30 PM

They finally let me look too. They must have saw the picture and figured I was harmless.

Tom · July 14, 2003, 01:29:19 PM

I'll bet they were straightening up before they let you in. That's what happens when someone important visits, you know. :D

Jeff · July 14, 2003, 05:00:22 PM

I think Ed McMahon works for Publishers Clearing House.

Fla._Deadheader · July 14, 2003, 05:58:03 PM

Well, after 7 tries, they let me look also. Good info. Thanks, Tom

pigman · July 14, 2003, 09:19:10 PM

Tom, I must not be very special, they let me in before they straightened up. :D Who would fix up for someone named pigman. :-[

Tom · July 15, 2003, 09:10:32 AM

Maybe they were putting stuff up, Pigman :D Gettin' it out of the way, you know. :D

I hope they don't make it inaccessible with their fooling around, it's a good article.
