“If
I Had a Nose Full of Nickels, I'd Sneeze Them All Atchoo!”
“She
Thinks My Tractor's Sexy”
“You're
the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly”
“How
Come Your Dog Don't Bite Nobody But Me?”
These
are actual song titles (by Lou Carter, Kenny Chesney, Loretta Lynn &
Conway Twitty, and Mel Tillis & Webb Pierce). Country music songs
often have long, or funny, or downright quirky titles.
Of course,
there are plenty of short-and-normal song titles, too—such as Lady
Antebellum's “Downtown” and Darius Rucker's “Wagon Wheel.”
But today's the day to relish the long-winded and strange and
especially the humorous titles country music so frequently dishes up.
Country
music evolved from the folk music played and sung in the Appalachian
mountains, in the eastern United States. Country music became a
recognized and commercial genre (type of music) in the 1920s, and in
the 1940s, it became popular all over the U.S. The popularity spread
to Canada and eventually Australia, and is now finally making inroads
worldwide.
Grab
yer cowboy hat and yer gee-tar...
...And
sing your favorite country music songs!
- Common Sense Media lists some music that is appropriate for children.
- Check out “Jenny Dreamed of Trains.”
- Sample “There's a Fiddle in the Middle.”
- Some people just can't hang with country music! Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of a song that was popular back in the early 90s. It is not complimentary!
And
now...

the Phone Don’t Ring, It’s Me Not Calling You Up
