What if he LOST it?! Maybe it's lucky for him. :smile:

Everything went wrong for Sad Sack! No matter what he did, it all turned out crap, with negative consequences for him. It was not an interesting comic, but it was around a lot in the '50s.

Not a bad observation. "I was young and foolish then. I'm old and foolish now."

But no.

These three clues go directly together for a single song from The Else, of 2007. This particular song is so much better live, however. I am one of many who think that the Dust Brothers kinda wrecked this. When joined by the horn section, this song is among the top five best ever.

yes. Google's cool.

Here's the song.
I can cite lyrics from obscure blues songs from the 1920s and onward, but I don't listen to contemporary pop at all, so it took a bit of searching.
