[edit] Original Version Ending

As I've read through the previous edits, I realized that some people are more familiar with the ending that says "Here lies one big big man." These aren't however the original lyrics that Jimmy Dean intended for the song. The original lyrics say "Here lies one hell of a man" and therefore, I have included those lyrics in the opening paragraph of this Article. There is a later reference stating why some versions include one or the other, and this should suffice. Jaredbelch 04:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parodies

Wasn't there a parody advertising campaign by Sainsburys in the UK within the last couple of years? It featured a reciept and was about "Little Tiny Bill". Check this link out to see what I mean. I've never edited a Wikipedia article before hence including this here and not directly in the parody section. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwOCFcy_QiQ Burlster 10:18, 07 November 2007 (UTC)
