Ok - a few days late, but here's my V-day post... the Top 50 (there's a list of about 200 or so) Worst Country Western Song Titles, courtesy of Lorah Edna:
. All I Want From You (Is Away)

2. All My Exes Live In Texas

3. All the Guys that Turn Me On Turn Me Down

4. Am I Double Parked by the Curbstone of Your Heart? (courtesy of
Michael)

5. Are You on the Top 40 of the Lord? (courtesy of Joel)

6. At the Gas Station of Love, I Got the Self Service Pump (courtesy of
Barry)

sounds like a country title, so I'll keep it!

10. Cow Cow Blues Written by Charles "Cow Cow" Davenport (ACAP),
and recorded by Bing Crosby, among others.
Not a country song at all, as it turns out, but I've left it on the list
because of the title's similarity to...


11. Cow Cow Boogie (Moo Moo My Love)
This one's been performed by everyone from The Judds to Mel Torme, according
to ASCAP. Also not to be confused with...
