Seems everybody's doing what they can to keep Johnny Cash's memory alive.

"I loved you like a child..."
Thanks, joe, that seems really twisted now.

Roids are NOT funny.

30 years ago as a traveling drummer, I would introduce the song "Ring of Fire" by saying it was the sad story of a guy who reached in his medicine cabinet for the Preparation H, but mistakenly grabbed the Ben Gay.

And it burns burns burns, the ring of fire
The ring of fire.

Back in my college radio days, there was a DJ who had a specialty show dedicated to Rockabilly, Rhythm & Blues called "Shake The Shack." I think the show still exists on Seattle's KEXP FM. He had a spoof ad for something called "Trucker John's Hemmorhoid Cream, using the tune for it's audio bed. Brilliant.

This is wrong in so many ways but, truth be told, I'm surprised it took this long.

"Bound by a wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down..."

Man, I don't even want to go there.

Shake the Shack is indeed still running on KEXP. You can listen online at kexp.org

Cash was a giant in entertainment.

They aren't the first ... found this while searching for a parody version of Ring of Fire ... same name, but they DID get the Ben-Gay when reaching for the K-Y 🙂

Heard the parody many years ago ... not sure who did it ... wouldn't put it past Homer & Jethro to be the culprits though 🙂

For a kinder parody try Ring of Smoke by Sheb Wooley
