Well, I'm not sure if it's the same song the Furries sing (I'm not familiar with them) but Steve Goodman's "My Old Man" is one that several bandmates have forbid me to perform, on the grounds that it "Bums everyone out". The 2nd verse goes: "And oh, the fights we had when my brother and me got him mad. He'd get all red, and start to shout; we knew what was coming, so we tuned him out. And now the old man is gone And I'd give all I own Just to hear what he was saying when I wasn't listening To my old man".
