Songs That Mention Hats

[M Hatman]

"I tipped my Hat and slowly rode away" Gene Autry 1947

AND on Tom and Jerry

​

​

​ I TIPPED MY HAT ( AND SLOWLY RODE AWAY) (Larry Markes / **** Charles) I was ridin' down the trail from Santa Fe When I met a purty gal along the way I said "Ain't we met before" Then she drew her forty-four So I tipped my hat and slowly rode away I was ridin' down the trail from Santa Fe When I met another gal along the way I said, "Baby, you're a dream She said, "Touch me and I'll scream" So I tipped my hat and slowly rode away I continued down the road to Santa Fe When I met another gal along the way I asked "are you taken to" She said "honey I'll take you" So I tipped my hat and settled down to stay !​

Must have missed this when MTV was airing it. Dapper gentlemen and a great classic.

 

[Bamaboots]

“That hat sure does look neat for riding fences
Is one that big and flat more expensive?”

I recently watched this very same video, thought about all those hats in hands. Thanks for bringing it, Bob!!

Man With the Big Hat
Jerry Jeff Walker

Now the man with the big hat is buying
Drink up while the drinking is free
Drink up to the cowboys a dead or a dying
Drink to my compadres and me

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Man With A Hat

Everywhere he goes
They know his name
Man with a hat
Wild and untamed

 

[Bamaboots]

“Any hats a cowboy hat, if it's sittin on my head”

 

[BobHufford]

Charles Mingus “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat”.

 

[Bamaboots]

He rolled up in a custom rig
Stepped out in a ten gallon way too big

 

[M Hatman]

Yakety Yak Coasters 1956
Missed the list.......until now.....


"You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don't talk back)"

 

[Hurricane Jack]

That Cowboy hat on the passenger seat
Still carries your memory
Like you stepped out for a minute
And you’ll come back to me

Every mile this ‘Ol truck rolls
Feels lonelier than before
That Cowboy hat beside me
Still hurts me to my core

And you’ll come back to me

Every mile this ‘Ol truck rolls
Feels lonelier than before
That Cowboy hat beside me
Still hurts me to my core

Pretty sure that's some AI slop my dude.

Yep, but meets thread requirements.

I am VERY afraid that is where we are headed. Just announce a topic and it can make up a song with video....no other human development needed.....sad.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Just announce a topic and it can make up a song with video....

Where is there any “bad data” in the above song? Before AI songwriters have been using rhyming dictionaries for a long time. How do you think Rap got started?

If you don’t think it’s a song & it bothers you that much, I’ll take it down. But as of now it meets all the criteria of the thread.

Now, back to Happy Hour.

I was not/did not reference your song.

Just saying in general that IS where we are all headed....being entertained by A I movies, photos, art, novels, music, articles on History, Science, Physiology, even medicine, et al with NO source material referenced, no footnotes...just bits and bobs (from real people originally, then from itself) that is mixed and blended until no one, even A I itself, has the s lightest idea where it came from, how much is even true, and we just consume it like it is real.

A I as a rule just upsets me now.........it literally just makes stuff up anymore and is getting worse. It very rarely will say it does not know (in which case I would respect it), which is the real tragedy of something that could be useful (were it not stealing from the creative arts and other sources with no credit).

Sorry I was not clearer in my message.........hope this tirade helps explain.

Sorry for the derail everyone....I will go sit in the corner now.
