WACKY WEDNESDAY: Dances with Bugs
In the past week I've had to shoo off not one but two door-to-door solicitors asking me if I needed the service of an exterminator.
I know, it seems weird. Maybe I should contact Nextdoor.
Naw, I think I'll just do a silly blog post for Wacky Wednesday about the importance of the insect world to American music.
Let's start with some R&B from The Treniers:
Back in 1927 Bessie Smith sang about bed bugs, including one "as big as a jackass."
The bed bugs bugged Gov. Jimmie Davis too
But, in a song I first heard by Robbie Fulks, insects made Moon Mullican think of love and marriage.
Maybe James Brown needed an exterminator
