Ferlin Husky

Recommended Posts

Country singer Ferlin Husky has been hospitalised suffering from congestive heart failure and pneumonia. His 1954 single "The Drunk Driver" about an intoxicated man who runs over his two children, is considered to be one of the most miserable songs of all time.

 

This awful accident occurred on the 20th day of May

And caused two little children to be sleepin' beneath the clay

These two little kids walked side by side along the state highway

Their poor old mother, she had died

And their daddy had ran away

 

As these two little children walked arm in arm

How sad their hearts did feel

When around the curb came a speeding car

With a drunk man at the wheel

The drunk man saw the little kids

And he hollered a drunked sound

"Get out of the road you little fools"

And the car, it brought them down

 

The bumper struck the little girl, takin' her life away

While the little boy, in a puddle of blood

In the ditch, lyin' there did lay

The drunk man staggered from his car

To see the damage that he had done

And then he let out a yell you could hear for miles

When he recognized his dyin' son

I've got that on 'The World's Worst Record Show' an album of stinkers compiled by Kenny Everett many years ago. Hadn' a clue the man was still breathing. It is - indeed - an absolute kitsch classic.

Ferlin Husky returned to the stage a couple of weeks ago and seemed to be recovering well. Now he's in hospital again, this time in a critical condition with lung and heart problems. :wheelchair:

I wonder if those performing ultra-sound scans on him appreciate the irony that this is the man who released an album called: Echoes in my Heart.

Hospitalised after falling at home.

Oft mentioned country crooner Ferlin Husky has taken his annual trip to intensive care and is apparently in a critical condition, although his family say he is "getting better".

Dead, to no-one's amazement. Good work, DDT. Bring on the Brit obit.

 

Balls! I've only just realised he wasn't on my 2011 DDP team. I thought I'd extended my lead and was feeling all smug for about thirty seconds.

He was on the unofficial msc Shadow Deathlist though, based on your own information. That makes 6/50 for the year, and 2 in 24 hours. I just need Jaruzelski or Demjanjuk to pop off tonight to make it a hattrick.

That could have been a winning punt for Deathrace had you picked him DDT. A tragic, slightly ironic turn of events, suitable as the subject of a country song.

Thanks, BBC. Commission's in the post, DDT.
