Sender: news@tamsun.tamu.edu (Read News) FRIGGIN' IN THE RIGGIN' --Traditional (And appears in a shorter form than presented here on the Sex Pistols' _Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle_ album)
I originally learned this song from a guy named Jerry who said that he in turn learned it while working on shrimp boats in the Gulf. He called it "On the Good Ship Venus," and used the first verse as the chorus, but I think I prefer the Sex Pistol's version a bit better. Anyway, it's a great drinking song; you can embellish the guitar bits as much as you want, but it's easy as a two dollar whore to play as presented, which is a big bonus if you're in the habit of playing whilst pixillated.
