songs mentioning the beatles

Along with song #60 on the rock/pop list we’re at song #60 on the country list. Today’s song is one of those “what if” songs, with a ton of famous names around it, but it bombed. Except with me, of course, where it landed on...

100 favorite country songs

Top Ten Time!!! It’s now time for my ten favorite Texas-born musicians. No surprises at all on the list, because I’m kind of boring and repetitive. Also no surprise that most of these top ten are blatantly country....

Four Walls @FourWalls (86829) • United States 22 Jul 24

Into everyone’s life some country music must fall. Sorry, Linda. We continue on with a look at my favorite television series theme songs. Please note, these are NOT necessarily my favorite TV series. Some...

Top Ten Shel Silverstein Songs: The Taker (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86829) • United States 19 Mar 22

Okay, things are back to normal. I’m out of my tornado shelter. You’ve hopefully had time to recover from the shock of yesterday’s Shel Silverstein-penned tune. And now it’s on to another song in this countdown honoring the...

Pay up! That’s right, it’s the end of the countdown that features all those nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars that we spend. The top song here (and in the “money” part of the countdown) are old familiars, so no surprises on...

Songs Mentioning Songs Top Ten: Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love) (#10)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86829) • United States 8 Jul 21

Before I head to Ohio for the weekend golf tournament I’ll sling the first song on you that mentions another song in the lyrics. Hopefully, if you’re still confused (I was born that way, then had a relapse ) about...

Along with songs that have “queen” in the title I’m counting down favorites that have “king” in the title. With apologies to Linda (who knew her luck had to run out after a month of no country music thanks to that Motown month...

Heart Songs: Good Hearted Woman

Four Walls @FourWalls (86829) • United States 23 Jan 21

Oh, no, another country song! Well, it’s a “slope” instead of a “nope,” because nearly everyone has heard of this guy. And if you were around in the 70s you’ve heard a different version of this song, too, because it was a big...

The (Blue) Eyes Have It: Whats Happened to Blue Eyes (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86829) • United States 27 Feb 20

Hmm, it’s just not my week. I smashed my hand last night. I have a regularly-scheduled VA appointment today, and they’ll probably x-ray it to see if I broke anything. Obviously the fingers all work. Whatever, there’s always...

Country Love, Day 13: Love of the Common People

Four Walls @FourWalls (86829) • United States 13 Jan 20

The teaser on my weather app says it might actually be winter here later in the week. Boo. I love the unseasonable winter we’ve had thus far. I also love music, and since we’re just over a month away from Valentines Day I’m...

Along with the songs that most people recognize as covers I'm looking at another set of songs that might surprise people to discover were also cover versions in their "hit" rendition. As I told Fredo yesterday, it did surprise me...

Before you say it, I know today's song is a cover. But this is the version that I grew up with, so it's the one that's sliding into the next slot on my list of favorite songs that have "people" in the title. Then again...this...

I have no shame. John Roberts counted down his 15 favorite songs with "time" in the title. I thought that sounds like a good idea, so I'm counting down twenty songs: ten in rock and ten in country. While I swiped the idea, we...

It's TIME for a Country Countdown: A Long Time Ago (#8)

My dear friend Miriam is very particular about how she is "put to bed" for nap time. Sometimes Anna has to come and tuck her in, and then I have to come, adjust the covers, and put a kiss on her cheek. Other times, Anna has to...

Favorite BIG #1 HITS Through the Years: 1977 Country

Four Walls @FourWalls (86829) • United States 11 Mar 18

As I've meandered through the first 25 years of my life, looking at a select #1 song in both country and pop from that year, I've been careful to not pick two songs by the same artist. I've only had a repeat artist on one...

I'm counting down ten favorite songs that have the word "take" or a variation in the title. And, for today's song, we have that "variation" show up (which is why I always put the disclaimer in). Here's the next song on the...

Last night's local tournament was interesting. As I mentioned previously in another discussion, the weather here is swinging like a 60s go-go club. Last week we played in shorts with a heavy slathering of suntan lotion. Last...
