  • The C-Word is, of course, chocolate. Bundy had a breakthrough in 2010 with her second album Achin' and Shakin' and its hit single "Giddy On Up." "The C-Word" is a track from her debut album.

    In 2010, Bundy told Songfacts: "Everybody goes, 'Oh, this is kind of like funny or campy,' but there's a part of me that goes, 'you have no idea the stuff that I've written.' Like 'The C-Word,' which is probably one of my all-time faves, and I love performing it live. I just need to get the band to learn it." She added, "It's kind of the melody of 'Makin' Whoopie,' it's those blues chords. But I have an obsession with chocolate. I wrote it in the car. I write a lot of stuff in cars and on airplanes. I hum, and then I record it with a tape recorder. And, I mean, a lot. I wrote this song called 'Bourbon and Boys Give Me the Blues,' and that's the other one that's funny, it's like a sad/funny song. At the end of the song: 'Come tomorrow morning either way I'll be screwed. Bourbon and boys give me the blues.'"
