ATF: Seriously Twisted

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Blown Away
Carrie Underwood
“What, that history?  I was always good at history.  I could help you.”
“I’m fine, thank you.”
“Really, I am.  What’s the subject?  Hey, hey.  Hey!  I am your father, young lady!”

Dry lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down

There’s not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There’s not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past

Shatter every window
‘Til it's all blown away
Every brick
Every board
Every slammin’ door
Blown away
‘Til there’s nothing left standin’
Nothing left to yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory
Blown away
Blown away
Blown away

She heard those sirens screamin’ out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screamin’ of the wind
Some people called it takin’ shelter
She called it sweet revenge

Shatter every window
‘Til it's all blown away
Blown away
Every brick
Every board
Every slammin’ door
Blown away
Blown away
‘Til there’s nothing left standin’
Nothing left to yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory
Blown away
Blown away
Blown away

There’s not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There’s not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past

Shatter every window
‘Til it's all blown away
Blown away
Blown away
Every brick
Every board
Every slammin’ door
Blown away
Blown away
Blown away
‘Til there’s nothing left standin’
Nothing left to yesterday
Blown away
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory
Blown away
Blown away
Blown away
Blown away
Blown away
Blown away
Blown away



Tornado
Little Big Town
Thought you'd change the weather
Start a little storm
Make a little rain
But I'm gonna do one better
Hide the sun until you pray
I'm a tornado
Lookin’ for a soul to take
You're gonna see me comin’
By the selfish things that you did
I'm gonna leave you guessin'
How this funnel is gonna hit
I'm a tornado
Lookin’ for a man to break

Yeah
I'm gonna lift this house
Spin it all around
Toss it in the air
And put it in the ground
Make sure you're never found

Thought you'd take a swing
Try another girl
Try another night
But it's the pain that brings
My force of nature back to life
I'm a tornado
More disturbed than an F5

Hey
I'm gonna lift this house
Spin it all around
Toss it in the air
And put it in the ground
I'm gonna lift this house
Spin it all around
Toss it in the air
And put it in the ground
Make sure you're never found

Oh yeah

I'm gonna lift this house
Spin it all around
Toss it in the air
And put it in the ground
Yeah
I'm gonna lift this house
Spin it all around
Toss it in the air
And put it in the ground
Make sure you're never found

The winds are gettin’ stronger
And the sky is fallin’ through
And you ain't got much longer
‘Til the rage rips off the roof
I'm a tornado
And I'm comin’ after you

  1. With the seriously twisted in your post title, for some reason I was expecting Weird Al to appear

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! You sure do take the critical part to being a music critic very seriously.

  3. Carrie Underwood seems to be one of the few graduated from American Idol to have a viable career in the music business.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! The first winner, Kelly Clarkson, has had quite a career, but Underwood has been the most successful so far. We stopped watching the show 3-4 years ago.

  4. The tornado film is much better than either the song or the performers, whoever made the film was wasted on the song. Interesting though ! Thanks for posting I would not have found it myself
