"Dead Skunk In The Middle of the Road"

It is a song, but I'm thinking and can't bring the performer to the tip of my tongue, maybe. He had a couple hits, and I can picture him, but the name, no way. The greatest song title I ever remember was on the juke box in a country western bar in Nebraska, and it was "You're the reason our kids are ugly" a classic duet. We used to feed quarters in that box just to listen to that absurd song, and made several trips there just to prove to friends it was real. Good money maker for the bar, albeit accidentally.

Loudon Wainwright the 3rd.
A great songwriter and now actor, Google him you will be amazed.

Thanks Bruce !,
It wasn't my question, but it was bugging me to no end, that I couldn't remember the name, and you are right, of course.

yes it is

Dead Skunk
( Loudon Wainwright III )

Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

C'mon stink!

You got it!
It's dead, it's in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven!
All over the road, technicolor man!
Oh, you got pollution
It's dead, it's in the middle
And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven!
