BAM! It's a YouTube music video thread!

this turned up on my Facebook feed. I was impressed.

Don't fret, precious, I'm here.
Step away from the window.
Go back to sleep.

Safe from pain... and truth... and choice... and other poison devils.
See, they don't give a fuck about you like I do.

Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep

I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies, and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices, son
They're one and the same, I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Okay
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Day after day your home life's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect, you get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your piece

So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want, that's all I want
That's all I want, that's all I want

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool, you feel like a lie
You've played by their rules, now it's their turn to try

So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want, that's all I want
That's all I want, that's all I want

I said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense

So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want, that's all I want
That's all I want

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Original at least.

Old School:

The kitties ROCKED! Is that what the song title meant?

I've been avoiding reposting bands, but newer albums are a legitimate exception, don't you think?

So here's your earworm for the weekend from the Inner Banks:

Gonna see these fellers again tomorrow night and drink tequila with the singer at the meet and greet.

More great music featured on "Nashville"

The Browns

Jim Ed, Bonnie and Maxine.

#1 on the billboard pop chart in the summer of 1959.

Here in 1999.

Kitty Wells

Star Wars Rhapsody:

HOLD THE PHONE! If God didn't make Honkey Tonk Angels did these angels evolve up from lesser angels?

If Oldfella is going to give me an opening like that, I better take it.
According to the song, Honky Tonk Angels are created by unfaithful husbands.

In 1952, Hank Thompson had a #1 country hit with "The Wild Side of Life".
The chorus of that song starts with the line "I didn't know God made honky tonk angels".

Later that year, Kitty Wells recorded an answer song "It wasn't God who made Honky Tonk Angels".
This was the first ever #1 country song by a female artist.

Here are husband and wife, Waylon Jennings and Jesse Colter, to clarify:

Don Williams

You know, all the classic country in this thread and I don't think there's been one note of Patsy Cline yet. For shame.
