Anyone Remember This?

drummer7 · December 12, 2012

When I was little my dad had a tape with a parody of the song "Big Bad John" by Jimmy Dean called "Mighty Big Red". I've looked a lot of places for this for a long time, and I can only find people looking for the same thing. Anyone here remember that song and/or know where I can find it?

The Wabash Cannonball song is the 45 I still have around here somewhere.

Great video, btw. Thanks.

Darn I definitely would have bought that from you.

Not it, but cool vid.

You can hear Jimmy Dean's version here.

Man...that took me back. Remember listening to that as kid with my dad while we were turning wrenched in his garage...

I had it on a tape in the early 90's. I had a whole tape of Husker songs including some by the band. It was a tape someone made for me, so it wasn't official. I have also looked for that song--but can't find it.

Bumping this to see if anyone else can help me out.

You might try to call Husker Hounds. If I remember correctly, he might have had a copy of Mighty Big Red, or they should know where to find it.

I had a copy on cassette someplace.

Dad has a 45 of Ode to the Big Red

My younger brother had a 45 by "Mad Mike" that had "Big Red Fever Attack" and "A matter of time till Nebraska's #1" or maybe it was called "Tribute to Tom Osborne"
