On That Note: I Fought the Lawn

[cyclones500]

Mowing season has begun in many sections of the U.S. (and we're approaching “No Mow May,” if you practice that).

For this week’s segment, we seek songs with title, lyrics or storylines pertaining to mow, grass, lawn, yard, weed and other general springtime outdoor upkeep.

NOT accepted: Reference to gardening, planting or flowers, we used aspects of those in previous OTNs. If those happen to be within a song that contains material for the main topic, that’s fine, of course.

On That Note is presented on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500. We’re always open to fresh ideas and suggestions. Send a PM.

Last week’s OTN: First of May

“Drive your car up on the lawn.”

Stacy, do you remember when I mowed your lawn? (Mowed your lawn)

[cyclones500]

“If I was the grass, would you mow your lawn?”

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Who just came out to mow his lawn

 

[MeanDean]

Chewin' on a piece of grass, walking down the road.

[MeanDean]

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass

 

[MeanDean]

This is the version I remember being played on KAAY out of Little Rock back in the day.

swingin' on the front porch swingin' on the lawn

[pourcyne]

They have their houses and their lawns

 

[MeanDean]

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

the outside the dead leaves, they're on the lawn

 

[pourcyne]

Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn

 

[MeanDean]

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

They see me mowing my front lawn

 

[MeanDean]

Why did they pave the lawn?
Why did they change the lock?
Why did I have to break in? I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live

 

[pourcyne]

Put the sprinkler on the lawn

Past the gate and the fine-trimmed lawns
