Parodies of country music are something you have probably heard. Many country songs were parodies of country stars like Tommy Graham, Harland Haywood and Courtney Stevens. What is it that makes these songs so funny? Is there a way to make parodies of country songs? Although it's difficult to say, I would guess there are more than one way!
Brantley Aldean
Brantley Aldean's country parody songs may be heard on Monday nights if your country music is playing. These lyrics remind me of some of his country rock classics, like "Lights Come On." Aldean has a new song, "Tonight, Looks Good on You," from Old Boots, New Dirt. This song is a parody on the Tracy Byrd track "Johnny Cash". Tracy Byrd sang the original version, while Aldean's rendition refers to Cash's passing in the chorus.
Harland Haywood
Country music fans will have heard "Country Road Song" from Harland Haywood. It may also have been performed by Drew Tarver and Carl Tarter. Harland Haywood wrote many country parody songs. This video will show you how to spot Harland Haywood as a country singer. You'll be glad that you did. But what is the song really about?
Tommy Graham
Tommy Graham, a skilled writer of parodies has been able to achieve fifteen Top 40 country singles during his 33-year tenure. Although his latest album isn't being played on country radio yet, it hasn't stopped Tommy Graham from performing and recording regularly. He has lived in Georgia's Cotton Fields as well as Nashville's Music Row. His stories inspire fans of all kinds. Below are some of his most memorable and hilarious country parodies.
Courtney Stevens
Courtney Stevens is a country music fanatic who will enjoy the parody of familiar country songs. Five songs were written by Courtney Stevens. The album also includes a semi-feminist song called "Working at a Honky Tonk Bar" and a twangy rendition of "Glory of Love."
The Dude Ranch Gang
Colorado's Dude Ranch Gang is a band of cowboys. The Fall Rivers Wranglers was the original name of the group. This was a chuckwagon gang. They lasted about four years and issued several albums, including one early 1970s. Later they reunited to record one album. Though they had only one hit single, the album remains a classic in cowboy music.
FAQ
Is the Hollywood Walk of Fame free?

How much does Hollywood make a year?
Production costs on average for a movie are around $100 million. If you produced ten movies per year for a decade you would have enough money to purchase a small country.
You would have your own island, including an airport, a power station, a bank and a post office.
If that doesn't sound like fun, then you must be insane.
Why don’t more filmmakers use crowdfunding platforms like Indiegogo, Kickstarter, and others?
Crowdfunding sites can be great as they let you reach out to potential investors.
Most filmmakers don’t believe they have the right to ask for money. They feel they need someone to stand by them.
Even though they aren't yet proven to be themselves, they don't believe that anyone should put money into them.
Instead, they spend months working on their project, hoping someone will eventually notice.
They realize that they did not prepare well when they launch their campaign.
They end up with only a few donations, instead of thousands of dollars.
What is the difference in a distributor and a producer?
Produced by a producer, the movie is produced. The movie is distributed through a distributor. Producers can sell their movies directly to theaters, distributors, or other companies like Netflix. Distributors buy movies directly from producers. Then they sell them to theaters, cable channels, or streaming services.
Distributors have to negotiate with theater owners over where their movies should play. This could mean that certain theaters may charge more for a particular movie than others. If you want your movie to be seen by as many people as possible, you should choose a distributor with many theaters.
How many theaters am I required to make my investment return?
It all depends on how long your theatrical release will be running.
You will only need one theater to show your film if you plan to run it for less that two weeks.
Two theaters are required if your film will be shown for more than two weeks.
