drummer7 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted 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? Quote Link to comment

redintampa Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Man...that took me back. Remember listening to that as kid with my dad while we were turning wrenched in his garage... Quote Link to comment
dtbugeater Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
drummer7 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Bumping this to see if anyone else can help me out. Quote Link to comment
cornhuskers4ever Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 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" Quote Link to comment
