He also sings Christmas songs like "Donny the Retard," "Titty Bar Christmas," and "I Pissed My Pants". He uses analogies like "Madder than a skinhead watching the Jeffersons," "Madder than a car load of queers getting pulled over for doin a 69 in a 55".

INTRODUCTION
Larry The Cable Guy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
The opening lines of Larry The Cable Guy's song Introduction, which simply consists of repetitive thank you's, underscore the universal need of acknowledgment and appreciation. Despite being a humorous song and a parody of country music, it carries a deep message about the human need for validation. Comedians like Larry The Cable Guy, who often receive negative feedback, ridicule, and criticism, are not immune to these basic human requirements. Thus, the song becomes a sarcastic way of acknowledging his fans' loyalty and recognizing their support. The irony lies in the fact that the fans are not, in fact, present in the song's setting, but their virtual presence in Larry's journey has been instrumental in his success.
The song's chorus "Thank you, thank you very much" originates from Elvis Presley's practice of thanking his fans repeatedly during public sessions. Elvis's iconic gesture has become a part of the pop culture lexicon and is often parodied in comedy acts. Larry The Cable Guy's song humorously revives the idea while retaining its significance. Larry's persona, with his Southern accent, redneck humor, and catchphrases, has become a cultural icon, and his fans have been loyal despite criticism from some quarters. In that sense, the song can be seen as an inside joke shared between the comedian and his fans.
