Default Song Writing Help

Workshopping some songs. Might join a cowpunk band.

One song is an homage to Stampede Wrestling and Ed Whelan. Looking for colourful comments made by Ed.

There's a few on his wiki page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Whalen_(broadcaster)

Quote:
Ed recalls one of his stints when he was just 21 and started in radio with his sign off of, "I'm 48 degrees and outside it's Ed Whalen."
OK, that must be 70's 40's humour.

I just hope there is some room in the song for an homage to Bad News Allen, and some lines about Beer-bellied sharecroppers and spineless cockroaches!

Working title - “We’re Having A Party Ed Whelan (And You’re Not Invited)”.

Probably some gems on youtube.
