Oct 26, 2011 - **Happy, Down To Earth Lyrics We Can All Understand**"I said now Bill, we just left her place--and we both know what she said--she said she doesn't wanna see your face--and she wishes you were DEAD!"Do we wonder why Bill loves her so? He's a masochist and enjoys rejection, pain and humiliation. Lots of people like Bill out there; and I don't get it...

Nov 2, 2011 - you`re a gay dead.....

Nov 6, 2011 - I don't think it was ever banned. It got heavy airplay in the summer of '74 and I remember him doing it on TV and everyone laughing. Now days he'd get all kinds of flack. It was all done in humor, something people have lost sight of since the 1990s.

Nov 6, 2011 - to respond to mrsgtd per my comment. I know it got airplay, a lot of airplay. It was banned from the major corporate owned radio stations until they understood the song. The Jim Stafford televsion show presented it for what it was. Just to let you know, local radio stations in some markets never did play it.

Nov 9, 2011 - I loved listening to this song when I was a kid, it always made me smile. Why did it make me smile? Because it was one of those songs where I could be myself through most of the thing and then at the very last minute go "Ha, I got you bitches!"

Lava1964 Says:

Nov 19, 2011 - Ah, the importance of punctuation: It should have a comma and be "My Girl, Bill."Just like it should be "Come on, Eileen." The lack of a comma gives the phrase a totally different meaning!

Mar 19, 2012 - Funny how now, here on this chain of comments how many people turn to insulting each other. Usually humor makes people laugh, or at least it used to. Now it's just a launching pad for those who can't wait to insult someone else. Sad. Stafford could probably write something funny about that also.

Mar 22, 2012 - Jim Stafford: trolling... like a sir.

funch357 Says:

Mar 23, 2012 - Yep; it's right up there with "A Boy Named Sue" and "Lola."

funch357 Says:

Mar 23, 2012 - Watch out! It's gonna take off any minute now!

wjpollock Says:

Apr 1, 2012 - Odd that, because Laws later worked on 2UE with conservative commentator Allan Jones, one of the most well known homosexuals in the country.

64g15csr Says:

Apr 1, 2012 - then you would know that laws and jones have a much publicised mutual disrespect for each other.... i have a mutual disrespect for both

64g15csr Says:

Apr 1, 2012 - ha ha ha... do you know what it was like growing up in the 70s as a kid named bill??? first we had " the wedding song" you know that one "wont you marry me biiiiill.then came "billy dont be a hero" and then to kick us bills in the guts stafford came up with this clanger !!!!!! ;)

grandpassilver Says:

Apr 13, 2012 - My names Bill, and I also grew up in the 70's. I still laugh when I here this song.

whatsanenigma Says:

Apr 16, 2012 - In the song "Wildwood Weed", Jim Stafford sings about an interesting experience with his brother Bill, getting high by accidentally chewing on an unfamiliar plant. If this is supposed to be the same "Bill", that makes it even funnier. But I don't know if it is or not.

DSBac Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - The FCC doesn't ban songs outright, but they do impose fines and have the power to revoke licenses. So, yes, they don't "ban" songs, but because the FCC enforces laws dealing with obscenity, indecency, etc. (censorship), then some songs are effectively banned. Of course, this is usually dealt with by simply bleeping out certain words, but sometimes stations would just not air a song because they don't want to risk losing their license - which would also keep a song from being broadcast.
