Coffee Break: Songs with insults
by Anna Reed
April 07, 2017

Don Rickles, well-known stand up comedian and actor, has passed away at 90.
Rickles had a few leading roles on television and in movies (like "Run Silent, Run Deep" and "Kelly's Heroes" and he was the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the "Toy Story" films) and was a regular on late-night talk shows, but he was probably best known as an insult comic - using insults aimed at the audience or other performers. But he was never cruel, and did it with a respectful flair.
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs with insults do you want to hear?
Thanks to Lynda for the suggestion!
We did a similar topic during debate season (*sigh) so see if you can avoid these songs that we played last time:
Dolly Parton - Dumb Blonde
The Castaways - Liar, Liar
Vanity 6 - Nasty Girl
The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again
Beck - Loser
Nina Simone - Go To Hell
Gear Daddies - Stupid Boy
Garbage - Stupid Girl
