Today is:

Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day


From Johnny Cash's "Every Time I Itch I Wind Up Scratching You" to Kenny Chesney's "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," country music song titles have never ceased to surprise people with their quirkiness. Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day recognizes the uniqueness of these titles and their ability to put a smile on our faces.

Though musicians have been recording their fiddle tunes for quite some time, true country music didn't get its start until the 1920's. Around this time, folk music became slightly more sophisticated and the Grand Ole Opry radio station opened in Nashville, Tennessee.

The sounds and style of country music have changed drastically over the years and today there are many different variations of country music including blue grass, honky tonk, western-country, rockabilly, and many more. Country music is popular in the United States, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

So go ahead and put on your cowboy hat, get out your banjo, and celebrate with the rest of the world for Quirky Country Music Titles Day!
