We close out ‘67 with a track that started a mini-trend of comedic routines over funky beats. This was recorded in Memphis, Muscle Shoals and Nashville. Joe Tex said the idea came from an encounter he witnessed at an Alabama store between a thin lady and her man. She was lugging around two heavy bags of groceries; he was arguing with the woman but was carrying nothing. Joe thought, “If he don’t want to be seen in public with you, some other guy will, skinny legs and all.”
