"Dead Skunk" was sung by Louden Wainwright III (and covered by local couple
Elmo & Patsy) and regularly played by Gene Nelson on KSFO in the 70s. YOu
can catch LWIII on "Undeclared" on FOX TV (he doesn't sing though :-( ).

except I remember that he used to sing a beautiful ditty called, "There's a
Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road," which was always a hit with us kids
on traveling trips. I just don't know where he learned it.
