But that is wrong, wrong, wrong, because what you were thinking at the time was “I am a GOD and nothing can stand in my way in my quest for world domination and ladies/men”. We look at photos of ourselves in our crimped, moussed and cropped glory days with our mullets, flat-tops, perms or whatever and make self-deprecating noises of the “huh, look at that, what was I thinking of?” variety. Many of us older musicians make the mistake of distancing ourselves from our previous hair. From Mungo Jerry to Poison to Mumford and Sons, music history is defined by those who had 100% faith in their own tonsorial splendour. For true success a band must believe in itself and in its hair in the face of adversity and harsh comment. It is hair that looks in the mirror before it goes out and shouts “fuck yeah, you da man”, even if this opinion may not be shared by everyone. Musicians cannot sport hairstyles based on a fear of how history will judge them. To mock Trevor Bolder’s hair, however, misses the point of an awesome rock barnet. I can’t complain with blue eyes and blond hair, they say California has more than their shareīut life’s rushing past and I’m falling behind, there’s something I’ve got to find.Trevor Bolder – his sideburns jammed good with Weird and Gilly I want the same thing that every young Irishman dreams I want the Red Head, I want the Red Head, don’t let me live my life never having seen ![]() Mix in a little bit of that sassy attitude, there’s only one thing I conclude “A red haired girl could rule my world, fair skin, freckles and those lovely Irish curls “She’s a red headed woman with a cigarette and evil in her eyes, She’s a red headed woman with a cigarette that’s her clever disguise.” 15. “I Want the Redhead!” by Dulahan “When the redhead girl goes by, The course of time stands still, When the redhead girl goes by, Goes by. Walked by me like she didn’t care, that hair was always there.” 13. “Red Headed Woman” by Wade Bowen She had bright red hair, I just stopped and stared. ![]() I still recognized her face but something else had changed (oohooh). “My girl walked in today, but there was something strange. “I thought I was the Duke of Earl When I made it with a red-haired girl.” 12. “Redhead Girl” by Air “Yeah white skin freckles big heart candy green eyes, I bet you wish you had your red-headed woman back sometime.” 11. “I wanna live with a cinnamon girl, I could be happy the rest of my life, With a cinnamon girl.” “I walked along the avenue, I never thought I’d meet a girl like you, meet a girl like you, With auburn hair and tawny eyes, the kind of eyes that hypnotize me through.” ![]() “I really really love the red haired girls, I’m just another boy from Texas, C’mon and take a spin, hey, I gotta brand new set of wings, Man I sure do love them red haired girls.” 8. “Cinnamon Girl” by Neil Young She’s a glass house, she’s and ivory tower, She’s a tin roof, she’s a summer shower.” 7. “I Ran” by A Flock of Seagulls “Green eyes, red hair, long legs, Devil inside her, Green eyes, red hair, long legs, She’s got the devil inside her. “Pick him up at seven and they’re headin’ to the rodeo, Momma’s on the front porch screamin’ out her warning, Girls you better get your red head back in bed before the morning” 6. “Good Time” by Counting Crows 5. “Green Eyes, Red Hair” by Gaelic Storm “Only a ginger can all another ginger, ginger” “ The bartender asks me says son what’ll it be, I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin’ at me”Ĥ. “Ain’t Going Down (‘Til The Sun Comes Up)” by Garth Brooks “You should know I love ya, you should know I love ya, you should know I love ya little redhead.” 3. “Prejudice” by Tim Minchin I asked you to leave comments telling me if you knew more songs about redheads and many of you replied with amazing tunes that I had never heard of or had forgotten about. Thank you! Without further adieu, here are some more ‘Redhead Friendly’ songs for all you crimson haired beauties to rock out to: 1. Clearly redheads can rock beauty, confidence and fashion BUT who knew that we could rock the charts when it comes to music? My last post 12 Songs About Redheads featured my personal favorite musical lyrics about redheads. The post gained so many likes, comments and shares on social media that I figured I would do a fun follow up to it, or should I say encore?
