Subject: Favourite Country title From: mandoleer Date: 03 Apr 05 - 03:27 PM Never mind the tune, never mind the words. Just the title will do. How about 'How can I miss you when you never go away?' for a start? Yes, it's real, but can't recall who did it. |
Subject: RE: Favourite Country title From: GUEST,Dale Date: 03 Apr 05 - 03:50 PM I'd Go Home If I Had One - The Dead Ringer Band (vocal by Kasey Chambers) |
Subject: RE: Favourite Country title From: dick greenhaus Date: 03 Apr 05 - 03:57 PM My current favorite is "I'm Sick and Tired of You, Little Darling" sung by Merle Travis with the Coonhunters. |
Subject: RE: Favourite Country title From: Beer Date: 03 Apr 05 - 03:58 PM Lyle Lovett: "I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You". |
Subject: RE: Favourite Country title From: GUEST,emr Date: 03 Apr 05 - 04:13 PM How can you beat "Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through the Goalpost of Life"? |
Subject: RE: Favourite Country title From: mandoleer Date: 03 Apr 05 - 04:18 PM Yep, I reckon that beats one I've got on record 'Will the Angels Play their Harps for me?' (Sung by Bud Billings on a Zonophone 78 rpm record in the early 20s - the other side is as bad. Don't get the idea that it's only modern Country that does this...) |

Dave Oesterreich |
