Whatever Floats Your Boat Tunes Friday

Speaking of floating boats......

Gotta give it to you @noharleyyet, Texas has some artistic geniuses, with Lyle Lovett being one of your finest. One of his finest protest songs, without many realizing he was protesting the confines of life. Or, at least that is what he explained at a concert we were lucky to attend.


The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Well, kiss my ass, I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea


Edit - As I was typing this, @Backofbeyond gave a vote to the same tune.

Lovett is and interesting gentleman/artist...good taste @Fin and Beyond.

The 80s were filled with a bit of rebellion. MTV brought music to TV. I'll toss these together.

Apparently, YouTube has a problem with this song so have to make sure you're old enough to "Fight For Your Right To Party" - How ironic.

And, for the righteous Pink Floyd;

No boat required

Two facts:
1.) Hall & Oates are the #1 selling duo in rock history.
2.) Daryl Hall has the mane of a lion, and I'm jealous as hell.

I'll see your mane and raise you THE mane...my wife goes glass eyed when this'n spins.

We have a winner....

What's better than a Waylon Jennings song?

On the more literal boat theme

@Tradewind does the same with this one

And he was married to Julia Roberts. Nuff said.

"Hoist up the John B sail..."

 

[BigHornRam]

That song must have been the inspiration for this song, an unheard favorite of mine . Listen to the lyrics, takes you back to a different time.

While I can't stand the majority of what is being labeled as country these days, I have to admit this one is catchy...
