Another Day #8: Quirky Country Music Song Title Day

Step aside, World Theatre Day.

Hold my beer, International Scribble Day.

Heartfelt apologies to Wear A Hat Day, National Skipping Day, International Whisk(e)y Day and National Spanish Paella Day.

And as for National Viagra Day... well, I just couldn't get up much enthusiasm.

They all pale into insignificance next to Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day. I don't make them up, I just write them down.

The website I visited suggested a few, starting with a bonafide classic...

The Indelicates do a great version of that too. But I can't find it online.

Johnny Cash - Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart 

Roger Miller - You Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd 

Bobby Bare - Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through The Goalposts Of Life

Jerry Reed - She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)

Here are a few more favourites...

Orville Peck & Margo Price - You're An Asshole, I Can't Stand You And I Want A Divorce

Randy Hazlick, MD (Dr Rock) - I'd Rather Have A Bottle In Front Of Me Than A Frontal Lobotomy

Travis Tritt - Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)

Zoe Muth - If I Can't Trust You With a Quarter (How Can I Trust You With My Heart?)

Gary Stewart - She's Acting Single, I'm Drinking Doubles

I tried looking up a song called I Don't Know Whether To Kill Myself Or Go Bowling, but all I got from the tube of you was this...

So here's something a little more cheerful to close. 

Feel free to add your favourites in the Comments.

Positive Songs For Negative Times #25: WTAF?

The new Ben Folds single succinctly summarises a year that gives new meaning to the term "annus horribilis" . As Ben puts it in this short sharp shock piano ballad....

We're not repeating history

Just the parts that sucked

2020 - what the actual fuck?

Pray we get through,

But hey, don't hold your breath

Cuz there's plenty left to wreck

We've got 6 months left

How many years will we try to cram into one?

And on top of all that, we have to say goodbye to Charlie Daniels, who died of a stroke, aged 83, earlier this week. I didn't agree with his politics, but I couldn't fault his fiddle-playing.

Here's another one I owe to Uncle Tel...



And its star-studded sequel...



Nothing succeeds like excess.

RIP, Charlie Daniels.
