Tin Men

I always thought this was a sequel to the Wizard of Oz, until I saw it. It’s about a guy who tries to sell aluminum siding to people using questionable sales tactics.

Proving that crime doesn’t pay, the guy gets caught by the people that catch the people who sell by fraud and deceit and he loses his aluminum siding selling license.

We take time out for the Real County Music lyric of the day…

We talk about your work, how your boss is a jerk,
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts.
We talk about the troubles you’ve been havin wit your brother
bout your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover.
We talk about your friends and the places that you’ve been,
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin.
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose,
And God knows were gonna talk about your clothes.
You know talkin about you makes me smile, but every once in a while,

I wanna talk about me, I wanna talk about i
Wanna talk about number 1 oh my, me, my,
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see.
I like talkin about you, you, you, you usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me! (me, me, me,) I wanna talk about me-e-e. (me, me, me)

We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes,
Your high school team and your moisturizer cream.
We talk about your nana up in Muncie, Indiana,
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama.
We talk about your guys of every shape and size,
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize.
We talk about your heart, bout your brains and your smarts,
And your medical charts and when you start.
You know talkin about you makes me grin, but every now and then,

I wanna talk about me….


Anyway, he loses his wife too (she leaves him for another guy in the aluminum siding selling business…I guess they were rather plentiful), but didn’t seem too concerned about that. I guess another marriage license was easier to get.
