Jethro Wibbler's classic workplace revenge novelty song was every workers' dream. Sticking it to the man after being thrown on the employment scrapheap, Wibbler's gravelly and authentic voice, with it's slight resemblance to Johnny Cash's distinctive tones, gave this tune a little more authenticity and gravitas. Self produced by Wibbler at his makeshift studio in Little Rock in Arkansas, the song was taken from the first and only album created by Jethro Wibbler entitled "Blue Collar Not Dog Collar". Famed country icon Conway Twitty once remarked to a music historian that Jethro Wibbler's album was "...an undiscovered treasure..." and that the lyric, "Run my knob on the rim of my jerk-off boss's favorite coffee cup" caused him to "...piss my pants like a drunken old bum..."
The single, The Day I Got Shafted, got reasonable (but restricted) airplay in the south-western US as well as Canada and Australia, however it never built the momentum necessary to catapult Jethro Wibbler onto the Country Music Charts.
Jethro Wibbler's music career went as fast as it came. By Spring of 1973 Wibbler disappeared from country music all together.
However, in 1990 Polish documentary maker Mikaloj Jiztayn tracked down Jethro Wibbler. As a Sheriff's Deputy in Amite County, in south-western Mississippi, Wibbler found purpose in life but sadly disclosed a heartfelt tale of dreams that were never fulfilled and talent never fully utilized. Admitting that he never picked up a guitar after 1974, with a partially completed second album lost to time. Jethro Wibbler accepted that stardom was not meant to be for him and he abandoned his dream. A real shame for the country and western music community as Mr. Wibbler showed an outstanding talent. The Jethro Wibbler story ended in 2018 when he departed this world following a massive stroke.

The Day I Got Shafted (Lyrics)
Well, today's the day I got the old heave-ho.
The boss has had enough - so I gotta go
Before I leave there's six things I just have to get done.
I hope you like my list, 'cause it's a load of fun.
Number one: take a 50 minute steaming dump on company time.
Number two: block the plumbing with my turd that'll blow their minds
Number three: empty the bathroom soap all over the floor
Number four: Spit in the lunch room coffee like a drunken whore
Number five: Rig the printer so it will blow up
Number six: Run my knob on the rim of my boss's coffee cup

Well, today's the day I got the shaft.
But I'm surely going out with a laugh.
I'll get my last list of chores done and I'll do 'em with a smile.
Especially number six, I'll really take my time.
Number one: take a 50 minute steaming dump on company time
Number two: block the plumbing with my turd that'll blow their minds
Number three: empty the bathroom soap all over the floor
Number four: Spit in the lunch room coffee like a drunken whore
Number five: Rig the printer so it will blow right up
Number six: Run my knob on the rim of my jerk-off boss's favorite coffee cup.
