I really hate that McBride song, but otherwise, good list.

Wow! I never ever got that from “Thanks A Lot.” I love the song, but I think ET could have found something better to thank his fans with than these words:

Thanks, thanks a lot
I got a broken heart
That’s all I got
You made me cry
I cried a lot
I lost your love
Baby thanks a lot

Juli,
I didn’t notice the intro. Thanks for pointing it out.

But I have to disagree that “Thanks A Lot” is sarcastic. As with a lot of songs–”I Told You So,” “Take This Job And Shove It, etc.–the lyrics of the verses contradict the chorus. But the verses are unimportant–”Thanks A Lot” was successful because it seemed completely heartfelt. The listeners heard Ernest thanking the fans for supporting him throughout his long and great career and allowing him to live out and exceed his dreams.

Can’t get more thankful than the one ” I Was Born An American” By God’s Amazing Grace by Luke Stricklin. Quite a Song.

I’ll grant you Stevens, though I’m not a fan of the song, but as for Ernest Tubb, have you listened to the lyrics of “Thanks A Lot?” Or read the intro to this month’s playlist?

Thanks for nothing!

How can anyone leave off the number 1 song in the category: ET’s “Thanks a Lot” ??

And if you’re going to put in “Everything Is Fine”, then why not “Everything is Beautiful” by Ray Stevens?

I’d have to go with Roy Clark’s “Thank God And Greyhound (You’re Gone!)”! This is a song I’ll be singing the day the Obamanation leaves office (assuming he ever does…)!

Merle Haggard is also quite thankful in the song “I Think I’m Gonna Live Forever” off his “Big City” album. Hmm…

bah to silliness! I just kept on scrolling, hoping that “Thank God For You” would be in the Top 5 somewhere, but no such luck. Big fan of SB!

Good job on the list Juli. The first “Thanks” song that comes to my mind is Sawyer Brown’s “Thank God For You” but that might be a little too silly for this list.
