Brandon - Pretty sure that’s a real song. I think my lady friend’s dad sings it in his quartet.

Earl Thomas Conley’s most famous song is arguably “Brotherly Love” - a duet with Keith Whitley.

Keith Whitley was married to Lorrie Morgan. Keith (shockingly) died of alcohol poisoning.

Keith’s death sent Lorrie into a downward spiral, where she began a romantic relationships with Troy Aikman (and also former presidential candidate Fred Thompson).

+1 to Clarence Swamptown and Brandon, respectively, for coming up with the two that I immediately thought of as well.

Of the 16 songs on George Jones’ “The Hits” CD*, a full 25% of the titles contain parentheticals. Of those, “If Drinkin’ Don’t Kill Me (Her Memory Will)” is the hands-down favorite.

“Dropkick me Jesus (Through the Goalposts of Life)”

That may not be a real title. But who cares?

I believe the country music genre has cornered the parenthetical song title market. Just a few titles I can think of (while reminiscing about riding with my dad in his 1972 Ford LTD listening to WDGY):

“Don’t Come Home A Drinkin (With Lovin on Your Mind)”

“She Got the Gold Mine (I Got the Shaft)”

“She’s Acting Single (I’m Drinking Doubles)”
