[Intro]
(I-I guess you all know what shaggy dog stories are
You know, like endless and pointless
Like the one about the cannibal that went to the witch doctor complaining of a upset stomach

The witch doctor asked him what he had been eating lately

"Well, there was this missionary
I caught him, and I boiled him, and I had him for dinner last night"
The witchdoctor said "No, that shouldn't do it
You'll have to tell me more"
"Well, he was walking along the beach
He was a tall man in long, brown robe"
The witch doctor said, "Well, that's it, you nut
You boiled him, and he was a friar"

That's a little better rеaction than it usually gets

Well, I found some songs that can't fit into any othеr category other than shaggy dog songs
Except they have the added advantage of being short
I think you'll like the first one
It comes from Canada, and it's rather charming)

Shaggy Dog Song #1
[Verse]
I was standing on the corner
Minding my own business
When along came a man
And tied his horse to me
(That's it?)
That's one

Shaggy Dog Song #2
[Verse]
I'm so lonesome in the saddle since my horse died

(Uh, here's another one with a western flavor)

Shaggy Dog Song #3
[Verse]
You stole my wife, you horse thief

(This is a perennial favorite among college students all over the United States)

Shaggy Dog Song #4
[Verse]
I love you in blue
I love you in red
But most of all
I love you in blue

Shaggy Dog Song #5
[Chorus]
Bip, bee-dip-bee-dip
Bip, bee-dip-bee-dip
Bip, bee-dip-bee-dip
Bip, bee-dip-bee-dip
(This one comes from the current generation)
Bip, bee-dip-bee-dip
Bip, bee-dip-bee-dip
[Verse]
Take you to the hop
Gonna do the bop
Take you to the hop
Gonna do the bop
Take you to the hop
Gonna do the bop
When
Your
Skin
Clears
Up!
