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.

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...)

A personal favorite is the touching "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly" by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn

My two all-time favorites are:

I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back, in my bed, while I cry over you (That whole thing is the title)

and

How could you believe me when I said I loved you when you know I've been a liar all my life?"

"Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray" was sung by Patsy Cline originally -- don't know who wrote it.

One of my favourite titles is "If I Can't Live Without You, How Come I'm Not Dead Yet" (Tim O'Brien)

And of course there's "Sawdust on The Floor of Your Heart" (Sneezy Waters)
