I think I hurt myself laughing.....

Even if some of those were just straight-up parodies, there must be just as many sincere ones. Man, I could write me one of those. Might be banned tho.

@Mr Stillwater,
Oh, but some of the titles are amusing-- It's the visuals which make for some embarrassment. Is the picture you've posted some multi-cultural Hillbilly Fest? Branson. Hmmm. It's Missour-a. Eeeesh.

Most of those "Big HAt" type singers of the last 15 years do suck big. However I like the music and lyrics of Brad PAisley. He writes mostly novelty songs like
"I wanna check you For Ticks"


Country music has always been making fun of itself. The only thing is that some people take the lyrics seriously.

Many of the best guitarists are C&W.

Now, when I woke up this morning there were two things of note.
1. A six-pack of ready-to-drink alcopop was missing
2. There was this list of curious song-titles on my PC

Anyone up to supplying the chords? I think I could manage the lyrics..

Quote:
Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee
It looks like a purple people eater to me
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks good to me

Well, he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said mr Purple People Eater don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you 'cos you're too tough
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
It sure looks strange to me

I said mr Purple People Eater what's your line
He said eating purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock 'n roll band
Well, bless my soul rock 'n roll flying' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
What a sight to see

Well, he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
he started to rock really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune
Wop bop a lula wop bam boom
one-eyes one-horned flying people eater
Ooh, it sure looks strange to me

Well he went on his way and then what do you know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was a blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead
Playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head

Backwards - Rascal Flats

"Backwards"

I was sitting on a bar stool
In a barbecue joint in Tennessee
When this ole boy walked in
And he sat right down next to me
I could tell he'd been through some hard times
There were tear stains on his old shirt
And he said you wanna know what you get
When you play a country song backwards

You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend Jack back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
Ya get your first and second wives back
Your front porch swing
Your pretty little thing
Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring
Your get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley
First night in jail with Charlie
Sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
Well I never heard it said quite like that
It hit me in the face cause that's where I'm at
I almost fell flat out on the floor
He said wait a minute that's not all theres even more

You get your mind back
Your nerves back
Your first heart attack back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
You get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV, a DVD and a washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn
The bail and the mower
You go back where you don't know her
It sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get
When you play a country song backwards
Oh play that song
Woo!!!

We sat there and shot the bull about how it would be
If we could turn it all around and change this c-r-a-p

You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend Jack back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
Ya get your first and second wives back
Your front porch swing
Your pretty little thing
Your bling bling bling and a diamond ring
Your get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley
First night in jail with Charlie
You get your mind back
Your nerves back
Your first heart attack back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
You get your first real love back
You get your big screen TV, a DVD and a washing machine
You get the pond and the lawn
The bail and the mower
You go back where you don't know her
It sounds a little crazy a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get
When you play a country song backwards

Well, there's more to country music

Like takin' pride in fam'ly
And a good, warm, lovin' wife
There's more to country music
Than to leave somebody cryin'
And the cheatin'
And the lyin'

Now brothers, understand me
I don't put nobody down
'Cause we all know with what you do
Well you're the best around
But as I stand to cheer you
I'll make my feelin's clear:
There's more to country music
Than outlaws and Lone Star beer
Yeah, there's more to country music

Country Songs for Funeral Service
Country-Western Memorial Service Music Ideas, Lyrics and Artists
© Janienne Jennrich Jan 19, 2008


Quote:
Country music lovers find special comfort at a funeral or memorial in the touching tones and sensitive sweet words of western funeral servicemusic. Funerals services and memorial ceremonies are a healing time when people have a chance to say goodbye to those about whom they care, process their feelings, and make peace with the departing of a special person. To many mourners, the right music is a custom that can help with all these bereavement issues and more.

Feature sweet country music songs in the memorial services of those who found great pleasure in the honesty and love found in country music tunes, such as a father, grandfather, mother, or some other loved one. All of these songs can be downloaded at a small cost on iTunes or other music download sites or purchased on country music albums at stores.

Sweet Country Songs for a Child's Funeral Service
As tragic as a child's early departing is, lovely and sweet music at the memorial can help comfort loved ones and give family and friends time for reflection and closure. Here are some country music ideas for a young person's funeral service.

You Raise Me Up - An absolutely beautiful song, performed by Josh Groban. (Sample lyrics - ("You raise up so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up to walk on stormy seas, I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raise me up to more than can be.")
I Will Take You Home - performed by the Grateful Dead. From the point of view of a father for a daughter. (Sample lyrics - Your daddy’s here and never will forget you, I will take you home. I will take you home. Gonna carry you back home In my arms. I will take you home.)
Tears in Heaven: - performed by Eric Clapton (Sample lyrics - "Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven? I'll find my way through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.") A little blues-oriented, this very special song is sung with acoustic accompaniment and is very touching as it was written after the death of Eric Clapton's own young son.
Angels among Us (Vocal Remix) - performed by Alabama (Sample lyrics - "Oh I believe there are angels among us, Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours, To show us how to live, to teach us how to give, To guide us with the light of love")
Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) - performed by the Dixie Chicks. This is a gorgeous, soft country song; touching for the loss of a son. (Sample lyrics - "Godspeed, little man, Sweet dreams, little man, Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings Godspeed, Sweet dreams")

Country Music for an Adult Woman's Memorial Ceremony
I Am Weary (Let Me Rest) - performed by The Cox Family (Sample lyrics - "Seems the light is swiftly fading, Brighter scenes they do now show, I am standing by the river, Angels wait to take me home")
Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown - (traditional) performed by The Cox Family. (Sample lyrics - "I am thinking today of that beautiful land I shall reach when the sun goeth down; When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand, Will there be any stars in my crown?")
Holes in the Floor of Heaven - performed by Steve Wariner (Sample lyrics - "And sometimes when I'm lonely, I remember she can see, There's holes in the floor of heaven and she's watchin' over you and me.")
Many of the children's songs above will work nicely for women as well.

Country Western Funeral Service Songs for a Man, Young Man, Grandfather
Ships Of Heaven - performed by Blackhawk (Sample lyrics - "Don't cry for me when I'm gone, Keep the faith and be strong, 'Cause through it all I've been blessed...")
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - performed by Mark Chesnutt (Sample lyrics - "I just wanna hold you close, Feel your heart so close to mine, And just stay here in this moment, For all the rest of time.")
Before My Time: performed by Johnny Cash (Sample lyrics - "And there was some old song that said I love you 'til I die, Before my time, Before my time.")
Special Song for the Death of a Soldier
Song for the Dead - performed by Randy Newman. A tribute to a fallen serviceman.

Other Country Style Memorial Songs To Play at any Funeral Service
In the Sweet By and By - (Sample lyrics - "There's a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it apart, For the father waits over the way, To prepare us a dwelling place there")
Instrumentals of favorite songs
Country gospel songs and favorite hymns help with bereavement

Other Ideas for Personalizing Music at a Funeral Service
Keep in mind the departed person. Who were their favorite artists and songs?
For older folks and seniors, older country classics may be most appropriate.
Consider listing songs and perhaps lyrics in the printed service program.
Most of these songs are available for download online, in music stores, or in sheet music form for a keyboardist, musician, choir or soloist singer.

I can see why you'd think it was San Francisco-- I noticed how the picture resembles an all-male revue. As you've pointed out there's one person with an instrument and the others are cozied up to him and one another in postures that scream gay. The purple shirts!

Are you in the US ? Or are you from some other distant land?

A distant land. Australia. One of the good things about A2K is that it has a very active group of Aussie posters. I am from Sydney, one of the other great gay cities of the world. The 'revue' could also be here, but I think that it would be played for laughs (think "Priscilla QOTD", now a musical!).

Nice to meet you Mr Hanger....
