Dead Skunk (Loudon Wainwright III, 1973). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2021-11-07. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Dead Skunk" was Loudon Wainwright III's only entry onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart reaching the #13 position in 1973 (Whitburn, 2013). Loudon released 24 studio albums (Whitburn, 2009) and has acted in numerous TV shows and a few movies (imdb.com, 2021). His first TV role was as Capt. Spaulding, a guitar player, on M.A.S.H (wikipedia, 2021). When asked about the possible meanings of the song, Loudon said "it was just about a dead skunk lying there in the highway" (London Times, Jul. 26, 2008).
