    "The Streak" used to play on the school bus radio when I was a kid! I always thought Ray Stevens was saying "Look at that, look at that" instead of "Boogity, boogity."

    Mainly I tried to focus on one big number one hit with no other numbers ones or other number ones few remember. Sometimes its hard because some songs never make it to number one but are actually bigger hits than some of the number ones.

    My mom used to have a record(by K-tel records) with about 20 different country/comedy songs on it. One of my favorites was "Ten Little Bottles" by Johnny Bond. Three Sheets In The Wind, Here Come The Elephants, and Hot Rod Lincoln were some of his other hits.

    Thanks for addressing this subject. I am with you, AI in country music is a terrible idea. That would the idea of having legends would bee gone because a computer would just keep producing songs by that artist, even after they are gone. Everybody says that AI gave Randy Travis his voice back, so it's a good thing. No it did not give him his voice back. Don't get me wrong, I like Randy Travis, but it didn't make him talk or sing better heck he didn't even write the song. It was just some executive's idea of maybe this is a way we can make more money. Think about it, they already own the rights to the songs they sampled to make the AI voice, so they technically don't have to pay Randy. They just found a way to not pay an artist. And don't we have enough fake sh*t in our world today? What's concerts going to look like in 40 years, a computer sitting alone on stage?

    The version of "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that Cigarette" wasn't from 1947 because Tex mentions that his date was the "cutest little thing in these 50 states". As you know, in 1947, there were only 48 states.

    Thinking of some of the songs used to hear on the radio and my brother's mix tapes... The Corvette Song and Do You Want Fries With That are still high on my list. But thought of a few others. Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox by Joe Diffie Praise The Lord And Send Me The Money by Bobby Bare Pound Sign by Kevin Fowler In my area growing up, I swear every year on the first day of buck season, the local country station played The Second Week of Deer Camp by Da Yoopers. I think my favorite Ray Stevens' songs (at the moment - the man has a ridiculously long list of songs) are Little League, The Day That Clancy Drowned, Family Funeral Fight, and The Ballad of Jake McCluskey.

    Tim McGraw heard that Blanco Brown is a big fan of his, and Tim Invited Blanco behind stage, and they both sang Don't Take The Girl without instruments. Man, Blanco is very good, and Tim was very impressed with him. Tiffany Woys with the Crystal Gayle look with the voice of Martina McBride who is unsigned hit the top 40 country radio airplay indicator charts with Loved By You. She sounded like Martina on that song. Good love song. Another one on a small label record company is Ashley Barron who is more like Ashley McBryde and Gretchen Wilson outlaw rock sound sang Let Me Go which she sounded like Faith Hill on that one. Sadly, the mainstream country radio have not picked up a lot of these artists, or they would have hit top 40. Sammy Kershaw hit the top 40 Billboard Indicator charts a few years ago with My Friend Fred. We do have the Music Row Country Charts and CDX Country Charts to know who have new songs out that the mainstream radio ignores as well.

    Please play, "The Shirley & Squirrely song" Bobby Bare "Singin' in the kitchen" Someone mentioned "CB Savage" That song cracked me up when it came out. Today it won't go over well. Also another good one is "Super Skirt" by Connie Cato & lets not forget Chuck Berry singing My Ding-a-Ling Man there's so many songs. Enjoying this. You have shown songs l forgot about & some l didn't know. THANKS for taking me down memory lane. Oh yeah, Mary Wilson "The telephone man." I still remember the words... "I went to my apartment on a Monday at one. Singin' do-la-de-la-de, shiggy-bum shiggy-bum. Started movin' in on a tuesday at two..." ok that's enough.

    'Cow Patty' by Jim Stafford. Hands down since I heard it on the radio. Still more of a western fan than a country fan, but that one came closest to getting me to change musical allegiance. Second place goes to Ray Stevens with 'Ned Nostril and his puts your blues on ice cheap at twice the price band'.

    The Pointer Sisters back in 74 and 75 hit the country charts with Fairytale, and they were the first black female group to perform on the Grand Ol' Opry. Their hit Slow Hand was redone for a country artist. Now, I don't think it is the artists mainly. It is the record executives said country music don't sell. That is why you have pop sound in the songs. As for Lil Nas X, Blanco Brown, Shaboozey and the likes? They grew up listening to country albums of Brooks and Dunn, Cash, McGraw, Twitty, Jones etc. Remove the over production, snaps, and the autotune? I find that Lil Nas X's Old Town Road sounded more country which is why he brought Billy Ray Cyrus on to help him. Plus he sampled some of Trent Rezner's Nine Inch Nails song for the song. Trent wrote and sang Hurt that Johnny Cash sang. Blanco Brown sang with no music with Tim McGraw to Don't Take The Girl. Plus his Tn Whiskey song is good as well. He went to number 1 on the radio airplay charts wihen he was on Parmalee's hit song. Shaboozey's A Bar Song hit number one on both hot country and radio airplay charts, and is at number 2 behind Post Malone ft Morgan Wallen's not country song I Had Some Help. I compared the two songs? Shaboozey does have the steal guitar in his song and Post Malone does not. Strip Shaboozey's song down and you can hear the steal guitar and all that which is a true country.

    @@CountryMusicTimeMachine Yes, I heard them Shaboozey's A Bar Song and Lil Nas X's Old Town Road without all the productions, and they sound country. People say Lil Nas X is Rap, but I found him singing his songs, not rap that I heard from the 80s. Shaboozey was on Jimmy Fallan, and he sang A Bar Song. It was strip down, and it sounded like some honky tonk country. A lot of his songs he sang live on his channel are acoustic or live singing. Austin by Dasha also live sound classic country. That is why I listened to the live versions of the songs, and that is how you could tell what the records label wants, and not really the artists.
