On That Note - Sharp Dressed Man

[Buster28]

I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool by Barbara Mandrell (#1, 1981) as performed by Martina McBride and George Strait at the 2009 CMA Awards for Mandrell's induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. It opens, "I remember wearin' straight leg Levi's, flannel shirts, even when they weren't in style..." The song was written specifically for Barbara by the prolific songwriting duo of Rhonda 'Kye' Fleming and Dennis Morgan, who did many of her biggest songs, along with other mega country hits by Ronnie Milsap and Sylvia, among others.



And Barbara's original version, live from the Music City News Country Awards in 1981 (introduction by the great Statler Brothers):

She don’t wear no pants, she don’t wear no tie.



Here comes ****, he’s wearing a skirt

"Waitress in the Sky" is a good example, totally didn't think of that.

(I got to to "Androgynous" first, though - first page )

D'oh! Sure, but was your clip recorded at a family members farm? True story.

"And the duce duce in my bubblegoose" (NSFW):



"You better be happy that dress is still on, I heard the rip when you sat down" (even more NSFW):



"So I, pull over to the side of the road
I heard, 'Son, do you know why I'm stopping you for?'
''Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low?
Do I look like a mind reader, sir? I don't know" (just assume they're all NSFW):



"Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves.
Who needs an overcoat I'm burning with love?"

''Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low?

Tip my hat to the sun in the west
Feel the beat right in my chest

As I was watching this video I noticed the piano player. Some people might recognize him.

And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes


Hard to be Humble - Mac Davis

I guess it has something to do with the way
That I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans

Bra Off - RayLynn

Breaking up with you was like taking my bra off
Feeling free and loose like this T-shirt I got on
Yeah I should be crying, grieving some kind of loss
But it's like taking this pink and lacy, suffocating bra off



Leather Pants - Juliana Hatfield

If you put on your leather pants
A Yankee boy in a cowboy hat

Friendly reminder - looking for specific articles of clothing -- per thread intro, "the terms 'clothing' and 'dressed' etc are not enough to qualify the song."
