The Very Best Fake Cowboy Song

[beamjockey]

What's the best fake cowboy song? "Jingle Jangle Jingle?" "Don't Fence Me In?" "Wah-Hoo?" Some other song?

"Jingle Jangle Jingle," also known as "I've Got Spurs That Jingle Jangle Jingle," Joseph J. Lilley and Frank Loesser, 1942.
Lyrics.

"Don't Fence Me In," by Cole Porter and Robert Fletcher, 1934. Lyrics.

(Bonus: Trigger kisses Roy Rogers.)

"Wah-Hoo," by Cliff Friend, 1936. Lyrics.

Until recently I didn't care for the highly-earwormy "Wah-Hoo," but then I discovered the Hoosier Hotshots' cover of the song, and it's growing on me.

Let's say it's a song that you feel is a fake cowboy song. Or we could take a page from Damon Knight's playbook, and say that "A Fake Cowboy Song is one I'm pointing to when I say 'This is a Fake Cowboy Song.'"

Well, it's a real song about cowboys, but they're nothing like what real cowboys were like, so I'd say "Big Iron". Fallout New Vegas made it a frickin' earworm.

I always have trouble taking that one seriously, since I keep picturing a cowboy with, you know, a big iron on his hip.
