Yes, It’s A Country Song!
We all know that some country song titles can be silly, funny, even downright ridiculous at times. Song titles such as “Her Teeth Was Stained, But Her Heart Was Pure,” “I Don’t Know Whether To Kill Myself Or Go Bowling,” “I Still Miss You, Baby, But My Aim’s Gettin’ Better,” “May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose,” and “I’m Gonna Hire A Wino to Decorate our Home” just really sometimes make us want to either laugh out loud or scratch and shake our heads in disbelief.
For years, these titles have been doing the rounds in countless country music blogs and lists, part of innumerable compilations people make on funny song titles. Some listeners, however, find it difficult to ascribe a certain song title to a celebrated country artist. Although the lists are touted to be true, many find it hard to believe because no artist is credited. Others believe such absurd titles were used only by relatively unknown singers or wannabe country artists out to make a name for themselves, not by serious country stars. This lists aims to show everyone that, oh yes top-selling, well-known country musicians do have a ludicrous title or two in their albums. Below are some of today’s best country artists and the outrageous titles that will someday have their own place in the next batch of silliest song titles.
Artists and album titles are also included just so when you share this list with others and they look at you in disbelief, you can confidently say “It’s true!” We have divided the song titles into two categories: those that make you go “Huh?” and those that are food and beverage-related. Enjoy!
Funny, puzzling, and sometimes just so plain silly you have to listen to the song to understand why such a title could even exist, here are some songs in our list:
1.) Gonna Love Ya (Till The Cows Come Home) – Reba McEntire (Heart to Heart)
2.) You Can’t Rollerskate In A Buffalo Herd – Roger Miller
3.) 4 Minus 3 Equals Zero – Always Never the Same (1999) George Strait
4.) Two Feet of Topsoil – Part II (2001) Brad Paisley
5.) (Pardon Me) I’ve Got Someone To Kill – T. Tex Edwards & Out on Parole
For some reason, country song titles have a fixation with food and drinks. Whiskey and beer, in particular, have made a number of appearances in many lists. Here are some from the most popular country musicians of our time:
6.) I Want My Rib Back – In my Wildest Dreams (1994) Kenny Chesney
7.) Do You Want Fries with that? – Live Like You Were Dying (2004) Tim McGraw
8.) If French Fries were Fat Free – What I Do (2004) Alan Jackson
9.) Farm Fresh Onions – Farm Fresh Onions (2003) Robert Earl Keen
10.) Waiter! Bring Me Water! – Up (2002) Shania Twain
After listening to the songs, you’ll see that the titles don’t really seem silly after all. Country music after all is about expressing what your heart holds true.
