new thread
A couple of weeks ago as I was listening to internet radio, I heard a song “Don’t Cut Your Hair” It’ll be on the new Pretenders album “Break Up The Concrete” The song can be found here:
Crissie Hynde sings and I have admit that it’s hard to hear the lyrics.
I Won’t Cut My Hair on YouTube

Lyrics: I Wont Cut My Hair
I got hair in my ears
I got hair in my nose
I got hair on my back
And between my toes
When the time comes & my hairwash is due
I'm gonna use one ton of shampoo
But don't give me those sentimental eyes
Coz I'm proud & my hair is nice
It's not fair when people they stare
I love the colors I wear
I wont cut my hair
I wont cut my hair
Oh no, I wont cut my hair
Coz I'm proud of my hair
And like in the funny fairytale
I dry my hair the Rapunzel way
U just climb up the six floors
To my hairy home
& I fix u a smoke in the blend of my own
Yeah, I'll make u a hot pot of tea
Take off your clothes feel free
And get down in my hair
And make me insane
Lets get airborne on window pain
It's not fair...
I would die without my hair
Yeah right, I'm playin' in the band
And I would love to be your private Disneyland
I'll be your own amusement park
Then you can ride me
And ride me after dark
If they send me to the rows of death
For having illegal dope
I will order as my last meal
Before's the chair
Hamburger french fries n coke
Take those scissors away
I wont cut my hair
'Cause I'm proud and my hair is nice
I love my hair
I'm in love with my hair
I'm in love with my haaaaiiiir
I won't cut mine either
Here's another. This one by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Here's an oldie but goody, from Larry Norman, considered the Father of the Jesus Movement, which married rock music and Christianity. Note the reference to long hair: Larry was a lifelong longhair, taking his trademark long straight blonde locks to his grave, when he passed away this past year.
Why Should the Devil Have all the Good Music
I want the People to know That He saved my soul,
But I still like to listen to the radio, They say Rock 'n Roll is wrong ,
They'll give me one more chance. I feel so good I want to get up & dance.
I know what's right , I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it.
All I'm really trying to say Is , Why should the devil have all the good
music?
I've been filled, I feel okay , Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues
away.
They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane. I grew it out long to
make room for my brain.
But sometimes people don't understand, What's a good boy doining in a
Rock n' Roll band .
There's nothing wrong with playing the blues licks, If you've got a
reason , I want to hear it.
why should the Devil Have all the Good Music?
I've been filled, I feel okay , Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues
away.
I ain't knockin' the hyms,just give me a song that has a beat,
I ain't knockin' the hyms,just give me a song that moves my feet,
I don't like any of them funeral marches, I ain't dead yet.
All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say,
Why should the devil have all the good Music?
All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say,
Why should the devil have all the good Music?
All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say,
Why should the devil have all the good Music?
All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say,
Why should the devil have all the good Music?
Jesus told the truth and Jesus showed the way,
there's one more thing I'd like to say.
They Nailed Him to the cross, they laid Him in the ground,
should of known you can't keep Jesus Christ down.
I feel good everyday,I don't want to lose it.
All I wanna, I wanna, one more time now,
Why should the devil have all the Good music?
I've been filled, I feel okay , Jesus is the rock , He rolled my blues,
He will roll your blues, He will roll your blues away
Here is a picture linked below, of Larry Norman shoertly before his death earlier this year. He never changed his long blonde hair over the years/decades.

This thread made me think of "Stormy"who used to post weekly hair songs that could be downloaded.He was doing it on a regular basis but then it just suddenly stopped.Fortunately I saved the songs that he did post as they were quite unique as some were very old tunes.I also remembered that he included some history about the songs as well.

Dont forget the classic song "Hair" by The Cowsills!
I believe that was the one with the immortal lyrics:
"Oh say can you see.... my eyes, if you can then my hair's too short!!"
Nice line!
