Hey Travis Crabtree


Anybody know where this can be found as an mp3? I must have it. The first time my wife and I watched it and this song came on, I thought we were going to wet the couch.

If I were making a movie I would include a scene with a garage band playing an MC5/iggy and the stooges-style version of this song.

i'd like to know a bit about the REAL travis crabtree. did he ever try to capitalize on his "fame"? (after all, it isn't everybody who gets to appear as himself in a hit film and even has a song written about him.)

Actually, it's kinda sad. I was in Fouke and I stopped at the Monster Mart, a gas station with Fouke monster memorabilia. I asked about the Crabtree family and they said that Travis had died in a work related accident while laying pipes.

When was this?

I can't remember if they said, but I have a feeling it was in the 80'.

Actually, according to noted cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, it was Smokey Crabtree’s oldest boy, Tommy, that was killed in a pipe welding accident back in 1987. Smokey and his three boys (from the first marriage), Tommy, Lynn, and Travis, were all welders. Lynn still lives in Jonesville, Arkansas, on the Crabtree property (near where he saw the monster), and apparently Travis is still alive and well, residing in Florida.

Yes, it was his brother Tommy who was killed in 1987. Travis is alive and well (as of January 2012) and now lives in Florida. Go to this webpage for a photo of Travis and his wife: http://jp1000.livejournal.com/40461.html

Actor James Caan has just reached final negotiations to star as the elderly Travis Crabtree on a new film based on the original L.O.B.C.

If I were him I'd have this song as my ringtone on my phone. And I'd let the whole thing play every time someone called me.

This is kinda late, but if you go to dirpy.com (or any other site that lets you convert youtube to mp3) and search for travis crabtree you can download it that way.
