“Delilah” is probably in the top five of Kill-Your-Girlfriend songs.

But number one is “Boom! Boom! Out Goes the Lights” by Little Walter.

A Russian performance of “Delilah” I’m sure some out there would consider that a cause to ban the song as well.

John Denver had a lot of fans in the Baltimore Orioles market region.

His song “Country Roads” filled with all kinds of evolutionary references also spoke of West Virginia.

That struck a chord with West Virginians and those native to West Virginia who migrated from there and ended up living in Maryland and southern Pennsylvania.

Some people seriously need to be publicly flogged.

I wonder how long normal decent ordinary folks are going to put up with this woke assholery sh*t.

They can probably switch it out for “Tom Dooley” by the Kingston Trio.

One of my favorite covers of the song. The Leningrad Cowboys and The Red Army Choir and Orchestra.

So did they ban the oprea “Carmen” as well?

It ends the same way Deliliah does.

So “Goodbye Earl” by the Dixie Chicks is a total non-starter.

Mic drop right there.

If it were not for murder, bluegrass would not exist.

Who did it better, Sinatra or Armstrong? I’m partial to Armstrong.

I can’t see banning it, but is a seriously weird song choice for a sporting event.
