Stagger Lee

Snatch and the Poontangs were an alias for blues and comedy musician Johnny Otis, known for his contributions to R&B and for blending music with humor and raunchy storytelling. Under this pseudonym, he and his collaborators released a self-titled album in 1969, which included their version of "The Great Stack a Lee."

This version is notable for its raw and explicit storytelling, drawing from the traditional toasts it pushes boundaries with its profane and comedic interpretation of the Stagger Lee narrative. It exemplifies Otis's knack for blending traditional blues themes with a provocative, countercultural edge. The song is a fusion of blues and funk, with Otis's band delivering a gritty, groove-heavy performance that underscores the wild and often exaggerated tale of Stack Lee's notorious exploits.
