I couldn't find a clip of this on YouTube so I'll explain this Saturday Night Live sketch. I haven't heard or seen this in more than 15 years. Even so, the song will pop into my head and linger as an Ohrwurm.Garrett Morris plays a guy before the parole board. He's wearing the grey and white striped uniform and hat. He is a model prisoner. He vows that he's reformed, will be a model citizen, can re-enter society, etc. The parole board is very pleased. They are about to grant him parole and he tells them he'd like to sing a song. He launches into this:
I'm gonna get me a shot gun and kill all the whiteys I see
I'm gonna get me a shot gun and kill all the whiteys I see
[can't remember this bit] ... whitey he won't bother me
I'm gonna get me a shot gun and kill all the whiteys I see
I'm gonna find me a chick in a navy blue sweater
I'm gonna find me a chick in a navy blue sweater
At this point in the song he is hauled off by the prison guards.

Concerned that this is the kind of thing that lodges in your conscious as an earworm.
Maybe it's time for a sanity day from work?
Kidding!
Damn - I was gonna look it up on youtube. I recall the story being that he was set free after the cops caught the real killer (or whatever). So he was bitter over the false imprisonment.
I could be wrong tho - like you said, it was a decade+ ago.
