Does anyone know the author or title of a song with these lyrics “If I were a bee, I’d sting you”, If I were a door, I’d swing you? I was out around the 1950’s. My dad use to sing it all the time when I was a little girl.

RE: “Free Bird” being the next J+R single–It’s a great album cut, but in a format that is scared to death of ballads, I can’t imagine that track ever rising beyond #40. Think about it–that version of “Free Bird” would be the slowest song on commercial country radio this decade. It’s not going to happen–even country radio ballads are about tempo, tempo, tempo.

I think Sugar Hill knows this. I don’t think the goal is a major radio hit–the goal is to spur enough interest to keep the disc selling 4-8k a week, which would really be phenomenal all things considered. The label is interested in selling albums, which, as we can see from the Shelton figures, is no longer transcribed from radio success.

The Jessica Harp song is actually pretty cool. I like it.

And now Kenny Rogers is trying to team with Tony Brown for a radio hit? With Dolly already on board, do I smell a Jessica Simpson duet too?

If Joey + Rory thought that “Cheater Cheater” suffered an “early death” at Top 40 country radio, wait till they see what happens to “Free Bird”…

I was thinking the same thing RazorX. That cannot be a true picture of Kelly. Someone has made over it to make her look weird.

I totally dig the Two Dollar Pistols, and maybe I’m the only way who hears the similarities, but it trips me out a little.

…also, isnt the Dwight Y. song in question at the top of the round-up, “Intentional Heartache”?? I could be wrong though…

Ben – I dig the 2 Dollar Pistols (not sure if you do or not). Luckily there is one station here in DFW that will play them every so often…I’ll take your comparison as a compliment to them (sorry if you didnt mean it that way, I’m not trying to put words in your mouth) and give The Dixon’s a shot…

I’m preoccupied with the fact that I think The Dixons and The Two Dollar Pistols sound so much alike. I probably shouldn’t care, but whenever I hear The Dixons, it’s all I can think about.

I was wondering where you were, Brody…not that Brady didn’t do a great job, of course.
