So last night, Huck Slim played in Union Square. And over the past couple of times there, we’ve noted a few odd requests for songs. “Old Brown Jug” being one. I think this guy was making a joke at first because he asked if we were the Kingston Trio. He then figured we were too young to be them. He finally implored us to sing this song called “Old Brown Jug”. It’s a little kids song. The chorus being:
Ha, ha, ha, you and me
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee!
Ha, ha, ha, you and me
Little brown jug, don’t I love thee!
But then you realize it’s all about drinking! What a subversive song.
Another guy wanted us to sing a Maroon 5 song. Which actually I think could be a great idea. I was disappointed we couldn’t Johnny-on-the-spot the request. In the past, we’ve been able to handle some non-Huck titles like Ashlee Simpson’s “Pieces of Me“.
But rest assured, we do now know “Little Brown Jug”.
