Neat song titles! I would love to hear all of them!

Marie, I want to thank you very much for your comment today, you have lifted my spirits and I thank you, my friend. I need to pull myself out of this tunnel I've been hiding in lately, I'm working on it, but days like these, they suck. xo

JanMary said...

Those are hilarious - couldn't possibly pick a fav.

Thanks for sharing

Mr Farty said...

I thought these were made up until I recognised #15. Brilliant.

Lilacspecs said...

I was watching a show last night and Brad Paisley was singing that dad song...the one with the words "I wish I could be half the dad he didn't have to be" and I seriously had to repeat the lyrics over to myself to clear up what he meant. And I've heard the song before even...it just always sounds so awkward.

Jacki said...

Some of these sound so much more interesting then some of the songs playing on the radio today!

Beth said...

Thanks for posting these. What a wonderful (laughing) start to the morning!

Playful Professional said...

Hmm I like the I Keep Forgetting I Forgot About You. Sounds like something I do often.

Memarie Lane said...

Mr. Farty, I'm pretty sure they are made up, I think #15 must have been inspired by Hank Williams' "There's a Tear in my Beer."

Sornie said...

Those sound like 70s-era country tunes. Blech.

Dee said...

My favorite is number 6, if the phone don't ring you know it's me . LOLOL

Jeff said...

I'm cracking up over "If I Had Shot You When I Wanted To, I'd Be Out By Now."

Those are hysterical.

The Intracerebral Itinerary said...

Here's my favorite:
"One day when you swing that skillet, my face ain't gonna be there"

Heard that one on the NPR Click and Clack car show.

Jason said...

some of these ain't that far off. there is a song about the phone not ringing on KFRG. i've also heard a song with the words "she said if i went fishin', she wouldn't be here when i got back.... Im gonna miss her." and theres a song by "the badlys" called "I liked you better when you hated yourself" its actually pretty good.

Jane @ What About Mom? said...

I read a book once (Birthright by Nora Roberts -- my favorite of hers), where the male protagonist is an anthropologist and makes a pretty good argument for how country songs are important sociologically or something.

But I think these fake titles are even more revealing about our culture. I love 2, 8, 11 and have to agree with Jeff on #16. I think I need that one crocheted or something.

VE said...

Hillarious. Somebody should do the same with RAP now. I'd do jazz but I don't have 85 minutes available for the improv jam session.

Old Knudsen said...

Ah defender of us third world rejects you have some how listed all of my favourite songs, thats favourite with a U.

Motherhood for Dummies said...

"your the reasons our kids are so ugly"! ha ha aha!!!!! I LOVE IT!

Mr Farty said...

No, really, Tears In My Ears is genuine. Don't know about the rest tho'.

B said...

Dolly Parton alone has several hundred songs, I bet some of these titles have been done.

I think I seen an album with all 25 of these for sale with one of those TIME Life Country Classics sets on the television last night at 4:30am, Glen Campbell was promoting it. Just 80 euro for 6 discs, and you can test it for 12 days if you want... fascinating.

Julie Stiles Mills said...

Marie - grin. Seriously. I added that paragraph on "okay. i'm back. i think." after I read your first comment. You crack me up. I LOVE your fast paced wit. You could write with Aaron Sorkin.

These are so funny...and going in an e-mail message to some friends tonight!! Thanks!!
Oh...and #17...pretty gosh darn close to one of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs (about a hangover, no doubt) called, "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Don't Love Jesus"!!! It's a great song!!!
