The theme this week for the Twisted Mix Tape is Cheating Songs. There are so many to choose from, and as usual, country music offers a wide selection. Unfortunately I used one of my favorites, "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood, last week, so here are the 5 I narrowed it down to for this week.
"The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" - Vicki Lawrence/Reba McEntire
Vicki Lawrence did this song first, but in aswitch for me, I actually prefer the newer version done by Reba McEntire. This could have easily fit in last week's category too. Cheating wives better watch out for southern sisters!
"Ruby" - Kenny Rogers
Loved me some Kenny Rogers when I was a kid, and I always thought Ruby was an uncaring bitch.
"The Thunder Rolls" - Garth Brooks
Another country song that speaks for itself.
"Tempted" - Squeeze
I have to say, watching this video cracked me up. This was the early, early days of music video. I could have totally been one of those girls dancing (sort of) in the background!
"Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" - Journey
Saving the best for last, no mix is truly complete without my beloved Journey, and they don't disappoint with this song. Another classic video that makes you wonder if men weren't always in pain in those tight pants.
Oh I love Journey, such a great use for that song! And my husband totally berated me for not using Ruby, so bravo! This is a great mix, love your choices! Thanks for coming back again!
Gotta agree with the wide selection of country cheatin' songs. :) I love your list and YAY for Journey!
ReplyDeleteI don't listen to much "new" country, but I love the old stuff. And Journey is the best band EVER!
DeleteReba really does know how to spin a country story into a song and her videos reflected that as well.
ReplyDeleteSo true! Thanks for checking out my list!

Thanks for giving me something to blog about at least once a week! LOL I'm enjoying remembering old songs I hadn't thought of in years.
