Red Headed Women (Songs)
 

Got a red-headed wife and I'm looking to put together a CD of songs for her about or mentioning red-heads, and I figure this forum has more music-minded people in one place than just about anywhere else. If you've got a suggestion, fire away. Links are great, but just a title and artist are fine. I'm happy to do the work of tracking them down myself. I've come up with the following:

Red Headed Woman - Bruce Springsteen

Icky Thump - White Stripes ("Redhead se?orita, looking dead, came and said "Need a bed?")

Fell In Love With A Girl - White Stripes ("Red hair with a curl")

Tangled Up In BLue - Bob Dylan ("Wondering if she'd changed at all, if her hair was still red")

I Love L.A. - Randy Newman ("Big nasty redhead by my side")

Fill Her Up - Sting ("Up in the front seat a pretty red head")

And of course

1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson ("Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme")

Suggestions? And of course, Tits or GTFO doesn't really apply here - that's a whole different Red Head Thread.

duh!
Willie's Red Headed Stranger.

I don't know - I guess I always pictured that song to be about a grizzled old pot-smoking cowboy like Willie himself. Not that there's anything wrong with that . . .

It is, just fuckin' with ya.

Incredible String Band - "Red Hair"
Brooks & Dunn - Boot Scootin' Boogie
"The bartender asks me says son what'll it be
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me"

REM did a cover of Beat Happening's 'Red Head Walking' that I can't find, but the originals on their myspace:

Awesome - I knew this was the place to ask. I actually probably have that REM somewhere among all the boots I've picked up over the years.

One last one addressed to all reds -

Lee Skinner - 'Because You're Ginger'
I know you've got pale arms
And I know you run in from the sun fast
Whats it like with a carrot coloured head?
I know you didn't dye your pubic hairs red

Bcuz Ur Ginger
Ginger like the sun
Bcuz Ur Ginger
Gingers having fun
Bcuz Ur Ginger
Red Head, Copper Top, Fire Crotch
Bcuz Ur Ginger
Ginger like the sun
So many freckly arms in the world

You can dye your hair blonde, blue or black
But we know your ginger roots,
they will always come back
The curly gingers there the ones
To Look out for
Like a Traffic cone their Luminous
Hard to ignore
