I know that jokes about coutry music lyrics are a cliche. But - top 40
coutry is a whole other ball of kettles. I grabbed the list from
Billboard, and it kinda speaks for itself. Everything but the dog. In
the seventies - maybe some of the songs would have been better than the
titles - but I seriously doubt it with this list. And just for the record
- I love country music, the twangy-er and nasal-y-er the better.
