While Kinky Friedman is best known for humorous songs like "They Don't Make
Jews Like Jesus Anymore" and "We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service(s) to
You,"
he has written quite a number of sensitive country songs as well.
Particularly "Judeo-Texan" is his Holocaust song "Ride Em Jewboy." While the
title is initially jarring, the song is a moving take on the horror of the
Holocaust while staying in true to Kinky's edge country mode.
