A friend of mine gave me a song this week titled "Laduesier" by local artist Jesse Irwin. It kind of made me laugh, but better than that, it's sort of catchy!
The lyrics go a little somethin' like this:
You're rich and you're bright and you're pasty and white
You've got what it takes to succeed
You like cheeses and wine, and you're real good at buyin'
Lots of shit that you don't really need
And you live in a house for a family of ten
But you've got a family of two
You're a Laduesier, Laduesier - a hoosier that lives in Ladue
You help to congest highway 40
You slow my commute to a crawl
You make me want to move some place real far away
'Cause I get so damn sick of it all
Can you even see me when I'm flippin' you off
Way up in your Hummer H2
You Laduesier, Laduesier - a hoosier that lives in Ladue
Well your company buys all the seats at Busch Stadium
That's why it costs so much to go
And you'll pay fifteen bucks for a hot dog
Just to look like an average Joe
And you'll pay the ballpark whatever they want
And that's why we're all gettin' screwed
By Laduesiers, Laduesiers - the hoosiers that live in Ladue
Well if I was General Sherman
I'd go on a march through Ladue
I'd spend a week lootin' and burnin'
I'd leave a big mess there for you
I'd fuck you like you fucked St. Louis
When you left and took your money with you
You Laduesiers, Laduesiers - you hoosiers that live in Ladue
Anyway, I'll have to check this guy out. My friend said his songs were hilarious and well written and he put on a good performance.

Thanks for posting. If nothing else, I like the irreverent approach.

I guess you're not watching my videos then. I posted a performance by him (performing this very song) early this summer here: http://lofistl.com/2007/06/09/episode-167-jesse-irwin/
Enjoy!

He plays solo and also plays in the Dock Ellis Band. Check those guys out, too.
