Oh please no.
There's a pretty clear line between Southern Rock and Country to me....people do seem to be trying to include Country songs on this list too much. I see NRO got "Stand by Your Man" in through the Motorhead cover of it.
LOL! Thank you! I'm in the navy and I hear that song all the time. I guess it was good when it first came out and I appreciate Lee Greenwood for writing it but enough is enough!
Here's my take on that song. On the USS George Washington (CVN-73) we would have what is called an "UNREP" or "underway replenishment" once a week. This evolution calls for a supply ship to pull along side of us and deliver food, fuel and supplies via cables to our ship. It is really something to behold. Anyways, when the evolution ended, the ship called "Emergency Breakaway" over the 1MC and the cables were dropped and the evolution was over. Once this happened, the ship always played this song over the 1MC to let the whole crew know that the UNREP was complete.
It also signified that the "smokepits" (areas of the ship where we can smoke) have been reopened.
The ship I am on now chooses a different song each time an UNREP is complete.
