Funny Songs: Help Me Find Jimmy Hoffa

Tweet

The state finals are this weekend, and I’ll be heading that way tomorrow to watch the action and wish everyone well for the off-season. I’m not forgetting you, of course, so I’m posting another song that will hopefully make you laugh. Here’s today’s song. Help Me Find Jimmy Hoffa - Tim Wilson If you’re on Facebook you’ve probably seen that meme that says something along the lines of, “With self-driving trucks it’s only a matter of time until a truck leaves its owner and someone writes a country song about it.” Yeah, country music invented crying in your beer…then songs about crying in your beer (“There’s a Tear in My Beer”)…then songs about songs about crying in your beer (“Life Is Too Short”). There’s only so many ways to give a “when hell freezes over” reference; and, unfortunately for everyone else, the Statler Brothers used them all up in the song “Don’t Wait on Me” (“when they ordain Madalyn O’Hair and she becomes a priest”). So my late, lamented friend, comedian Tim Wilson, found one that hadn’t been used yet: “when they find Jimmy Hoffa, that’s when I’ll come back to you.” A desperate man has a warped mind (“Willard Scott’s toupee looks a lot like Hoffa hair”), but he wants his old love back! Tim’s grave marker says, “Christian, comedian, loved to make people laugh.” So have a laugh on him. He’d appreciate it.
