Songs That Mention Hats

I’ve missed this thread until now, but I’m just in time to post another Astaire classic, “I left my hat in Haiti.”

[Hurricane Jack]

Raggae Cowboy

I was walking down Broadway
New York, New York
Tony Llama boots and a Stetson hat
Proud to be a country boy
Just then a messenger called me
Rasta man on the road
He said "You gotta get the rhythm of the islands
Help me carry my load"

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Bumpty bump.......

And I'll even throw in some dancin' to cheer y'all up.

I was listening to Lyle Lovett (Pontiac album) on a run this morning. I had to add the Don't Touch My Hat song to the playlist. I have a soft spot for the Lyle Lovett song Don't Touch My Hat.

A long while ago I got to meet him in a guitar shop before I knew he was a musician. Conversation, handing a guitar back and forth and even seeing later that evening seeing him perform concert I learned about the man Lyle is. He was a gentleman, genuine good guy and funny. I tip my hat towards Texas this morning.

Cheers, Eric -

"The Sun Has Got His Hat On" is a song by Noel Gay and Ralph Butler. It is known for its appearance in the 1985 version of the musical Me and My Girl and was originally recorded in 1932 by two popular UK dance bands – Ambrose and his Orchestra, with vocals by Sam Browne, and by the Henry Hall BBC Dance Orchestra with vocals by Val Rosing.

If you want to see the best collection ever of WTF hats, watch Al Simmons as he models the mechanical hats that he invented.

[M Hatman]

Well.....some people call what they are wearing a fedora.............Interesting song......

And another classic.....

I can't hear that song anymore without immediately singing it like Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein.

 

[M Hatman]

And then there is this version from the 80's which will probably be down soon......

 

[BobHufford]

Im on the run, they aint got me yet
A black stetson hat and a price upon my head
Im riding hard, high across the plains
I gotta get some place, where nobody knows my name.

 

[BobHufford]

There's a man in a Stetson hat, howlin' like an alley cat
Outside my window tonight
Sayin', "Baby, put on something hot, meet me in the parking lot
About a quarter to nine"

 

[T Jones]

Ballad of Daniel Boone...

"From the coon skin cap on the top of ol' Dan to the heel of his rawhide shoes..."

Is that like Tony Bennet's " I Left my Hat in San Francisco"?

Love Lyle, love that song. Saw him a few years ago in concert with John Hiatt.

 

[T Jones]

Mein hut, der hat drei ecken.

 

[Bushman]

Mein hut, der hat drei ecken.

There's an English version of this song, with a different tune, but similar lyrical intent. Interestingly enough, I notice the German version refers to hats in the masculine, while, despite all the English lyrics I can currently find using neutral "it", I distinctly recall the version from my youth using the line, "my hat she has three corners."

We used to have to sing this song in my third grade class, eons ago! The teacher would put it on the record player and the whole class would have to sing along, in German! Good memories. I loved the third grade. That was the best five years of my life!
