May 26, 2009 - The hedgehog reference refers to the cooking of a hedgehog ( a medium sized, not so pleasant herbivore found all over the U.S. and some parts of Europe) among country folks, this was considered a delicacy. The same with the goose flying across the sticks....

comguy1313 Says:

May 28, 2009 - The cooking of the Hedgehog was accomplished by packing the animal in clay and making a improvised oven of bricks on the spot. The old fat goose flying across the sticks is a reference to goose on the spit or sticks for country folks. I grew up in the country around these folks and these references bring a lump to my throat every time I hear them. Bernie really knew what he was about when he wrote this. Simply brilliant!

Jul 8, 2009 - Rod Stewart did a cover of this song. Another fact, the photo of the LP seelve was taken at Sheffield Park Station in Sussex, England, on the Bluebell Railway, where Sheena Easton later filmed a music video.

Oct 7, 2009 - wow, you really hit the nail on the head dude.

manxcharlie Says:

Oct 7, 2009 - Of course, if a white person had written your comment, it would have read, "You piece of shit, cock juggling racist--go and fuck your dog, you inbred southern piece of shit piglet." I can understand your obvious disdain for basic spell checking, however, as all niggers disdain spell check, water, soap, and condoms.

Oct 10, 2009 - Comments from real music lovers, mostly (sarcasm). Other than Jesus Christ Superstar (1973), this is the best mixed album in history.
