Story about this misheard lyric by: Debbie Jones We saw John Prine at West Port Playhouse in St. Louis about 10 years ago. He told the story of a lady at a previous concert who asked him to sing "The Happy Enchilada". He went on to explain he didn't have a song titled that. That's when she sang the lyrics. He then knew the song she was talking about. |
