Love songs like this always make me queasy; and it went to number one no less. Jimmie Rodgers sees his girl as the Creator would have constructed her. Except nowhere in scripture can I find a "hank o' hair" (the "piece o' bone" is in Ezekiel 37). So why does Jimmie channel God via Frankenstein? In an effort to pander the broadest and least interesting country/rock arrangement of his time. The only good I can say is that, for quirky little novelty number, Jimmie's vocals are perfect; he really thinks its "kinda funny". Poor, poor man.
This song is okay, but do you know what really rocks? Super Snooper, by the Oceans. Yee-haw!!!!
