The odds a Top 100 country song will refer to alcohol are 1 in 5. The odds one of these songs will contain a reference to “mama” are 1 in 7.14. The odds one will contain a reference to the word “train” are 1 in 11.11 and the odds one will contain a reference to the word “prison” are 1 in 33.33. Least surprising, the odds one of the songs will contain a reference to tears or crying are 1 in 3.23.
Gonna sit down with my guitar and write a song: "Mama Cried When She Was Drunk".
So how many refer to a dog or pickup truck?
“I was drunk the day my ma got out of prison,
and I went to pick her up ... in the raaaaaaiiiin.
But before I could make it to the prison in my pickup truck,
She got runned over by a danged old train!”
Steve Goodman "You don't have to call me darlin"
Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song And he told me it was the perfect country and western song I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the Perfect country and western song because he hadn't said Anything at all about momma or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' drunk Read more: David Allan Coe - You Never Even Call Me By My Name Lyrics | MetroLyrics
Nothing anyone who listens to David Allen Coe didn’t already know...
Now, hows that rap/hip-hop analysis coming along? That’s what would be really interesting.
If She Puts Lipstick On My Dipstick I’ll Fall In Love
Even better, “Mama got drunk and cried because I was in prison for robbing a train”.
5 out of 5 rap songs refer to violence, usually sexual violence.
Thistoo beat me, but David Allen Coe beat you Dr Thorne by about 40 years.
What if you play them backward?
1 in 1 rap songs will mention crime, violence, and degrade women.
You gotta respect old Coe!
If I had a nickel for every time the F word was used in rap, I’d have more money than the Clinton Global Initiative!
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I don't minded standing in the rain
You don't have to call me "darlin'", Darlin'
You never even call me by my name.
David Allen Coe
Well I was drunk the day my momma got outta prison and I went to pick her up in the rain. But before I could get to the station in my pick up truck. She got run over by a damned ole train.
Whats the ratio for bitches and hoes and killing cops in rap songs?
“There’s A Tear In My Beer” - Hank Sr.
I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
With somebody twice your size ...
We moms only made #7?
