September 5, 2007 — Hank Williams Jr. loves making unannounced drop-ins at legendary Tootsie's Orchid Lounge on Lower Broadway in Nashville, but his visit on Sunday was a little more unusual than most. According to several folks there, his teeth dropped out of his head. Literally.

Nashville's WKRN reports that Hank was having a great time, shaking hands and meeting fans, when he decided to jump on stage to sing. Right in the middle of his signature song, "Family Tradition," his false teeth took a dive off the stage.

Hank scrambled for them, telling the crowd with expletive-filled sentences that he paid $5,000 for these teeth and they should be staying in his mouth! Bocephus eventually corrected the situation.

Hank then declared, "Half-time's over! I'm back!" The show went on for quite a while, and the crowd went wild.
