Vor über einem Vierteljahrhundert hat Loudon Wainwright mit dem „Grammy Song“* ein heiteres Lied über diese Auszeichnung geschrieben, die damals nicht nur hierzulande so unbekannt war, dass er vor dem Lied stets eigens erklärt hat, was ein Grammy, ein Tony und ein Emmy sind: Oscar, Pulitzer und Nobel, aber vor allem Gold und Bronze waren auch hierzulande bekannt.
Gestern Nacht hat LWIII selbst den verdienten Grammy erhalten:

Loudon Wainwright III: The Grammy Song (1983)
Last night I dreamed that I won a Grammy;
it was presented to me by Debbie Harry.
I ran up on stage in my tux;
I gulped and I said, „Aw shucks;
I’d like to thank my producer and Jesus Christ.“
The audience gave me a standing ovation
I shed tears of joy;
I shed tears of elation.
Behind the podium there,
Debbie grabbed my derriere
and I’d like to thank my producer and Jesus Christ.
I took my Grammy and Debbie
and I walked offstage;
we made the cover of Cashbox and the Random Notes page.
In the weeks that followed
things went fine for me:
an Oscar, a Tony and an Emmy;
Bo Derek and Barbara Mandrell;
a Pulitzer and a Nobel;
Meryl Streep and Tammi Terell;
five gold and one bronze as well;
Joan Rivers and Lana Cantrell;
I’d like to thank my producer and Jesus Christ
