There are many myths and rumors flying about on the internet as to who the real Durwood Douché is. Well, he was actually the talented LA jazz pianist Dick Shreve, aka The Sultan of Smut, who passed away in 2004. Note that the English reissue of this CD is called Big, Banned and Blue (1998).
For more on the dirty songs of Durwood Douché, read his promo: Well, just when you thought you’d heard everything…hmmm…maybe you better rethink such high falutin’ thoughts, because you ain’t heard nothing yet. Not until you’ve heard Everybody’s Fucking But Me, the charmingly lascivious ERP release of the music of Durwood Douché. Back in the late 70’s when the title song, ‘Everybody’s Fucking But Me’ first saw the light of day, it was an immediate underground classic. When Andy Williams heard it back stage at the Nugget Casino, he called it “the best fucking song I’ve ever heard!” Hugh Hefner sent a limo to pick up twenty-five copies to give to friends, and followed up with a short piece in Playboy’s stable mate, Oui, appropriately entitled, ‘Number One With A Boner’. And what were they hearing? Think Sarah Vaughn, 2 A.M. in a dark, intimate setting, and her voice, that voice….. Everybody’s fucking but me, I’m dying of
terminal lust. Get the picture? And that’s only the beginning. Think thirteen more cuts of elegant nonsense. Try ‘The Limerick Blues’ direct from ‘the lovely Sewer Supper Club, located deep in the bowels of our fair city’….. A lovely young lady named Grace Really, I’m not making this up. Now, think that original Berlin gender-bender herself, Marlene Dietrich, decked out in heavy fishnet hose and topped with a smart top hat, pouring it on, “Thank you, danke shon, it’s gwate to be here….hell, I’m a hundred and sixty…it’s gwate to be anywhere”…. When I’m sitting on your face, If you love intimate jazz, there are some masterful vocals by a guy who sounds very much like Jack Sheldon. Or, on the other hand, there’s a guy who is doing a send-up of Merle Haggard lamenting the loss of the girl who wiped her boogers on his heart….‘It snot very nice, no, it snot nice at all’… But the best is saved for last. Think sleigh bells. Think mistletoe. Think eggnog. Think ‘The Christmas Gift’ (‘Just a Little Christmas B--- job’). This may well be the end all of all Christmas Songs. The presents are opened and dinner is
done. Okay, so you’ve seen a few of the lyrics, but that doesn’t do justice to the whole sound, the whole feel of this crazy album. It’s an anonymous labor of love (lust?) by some of L.A.’s finest singers and musicians - it’s NOW, it’s YESTERDAY, it’s TOMORROW, it’s an album (make that a CD) for ALL TIME!!! But best of all it’s here right now…..EVERYBODY’S F---ING BUT ME…. Everybody’s fucking but me, Try it! You’ll like it! - Durwood Douché
A talented guy was Dick Shreve,
