Country songs for serenade

DeltaBetaBaby · #1 10-19-2002, 11:02 PM

Okay, a group of us are going to serenade girls' dates a few days before barndance. Seeing as how I don't listen to country music, I need a song suggestion. It is pretty informal, just something silly. Thanks!

I think old country would be best- songs that you have more than likely heard at one point in your life whether you listen to country or not-

Alabama- Song of the South (classic kinda silly southern song about a person during the depression- but the chorus is cool)

Alabama- Mountain Music (just as the title say)

Anything Kenny Rodgers- sings the song "you gotta know when to hold them- know when to fold them" I can't think of the title but those are song lyrics of the chorus- I know you have heard it

Garth Brooks- he has both silly and serious songs- look at a greatest hits album

He has lots (I don't usually like country but I love Garth)

Randy Travis- Forever and Ever

Charlie Daniels- Devil went down to Georgia

Ray Stevens- The day the squirrel went bazerk (This song is HILARIOUS)

Those are all I can think of for now- these are songs of my childhood some of which I think everyone knows. I don't know how appropriate they are for what you are looking for but it is a start

"Almost Persuaded" is the all-time best country song for guys to sing in a group. You can sway all over the words and be as melodramatic as you want. Can't tell you who sang it; it was a huge hit 30+ years ago, but it should somewhere on the internet. Trust me: this is the BEST fraternity-guys song if you're singing country.

David Allan Coe - "You DOn't have to call me Darlin', Darlin'"

The BEST country and western song ever written

"Cowboy, Take Me Away"

Suzymoonspider, I think the song (Kenny Rogers) is called "The Gambler." It's a cool song!

Try Garth Brooks' Friends in Low Places

It goes:
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

[3rd Verse:]
I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
And everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass

Tim McGraw... Indian Outlaw!

I don't listen to country, but I have to say I looooove the song "A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation." I think that would be a good one to sing to a date because it's kind of fun and silly.

Gary Stewart - She's Acting Single (and I'm Drinking Doubles)

Fun song!

But I have to say "You Don't have to call me Darlin', Darlin" is a lot cuter

honeychile · #13 10-21-2002, 05:32 PM

"You got the money, honey, I got the time" would be a little too tacky...!
