HAIR songs can be -
Songs with hair in the title - including haircut and hairy and other adjectival variations. eg hirsute
Songs from the musical Hair
Songs by groups with a hairy name eg Blondie, Four Non Blonds, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, The Poni-Tails, The Brunettes.
Songs with Wig or wiggy words in the title
Songs mentioning being bald or losing your hair.
Songs that mention hair. Including style of hair, bangs, curls, plaits, etc.
Beards and facial hair are OK too.
For the lovers of the risqué other body hair is fine too.
Songs in the Barber Shop style – must be very vocal harmony based by multitrack or collabs.
Songs or music from the opera The Barber of Seville or the Bugs Bunny version of same.
Any song off Willie Nelson’s album ‘Red Headed Stranger’.
Any ZZ Top song because of their beards.
Sinead O’Connor songs when she had very little hair.
Any songs covered by Telly Savalas or any other bald performers.
Any Midnight Oil or Rose Tattoo song.
Songs by old bald guys who once had lots of hair eg Neil Young, (Sir) Van Morrison, Billy Joel, James Taylor, John Hiatt, Paul Kelly, Phill Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Earle, etc – some before and after pics would be fun.
Any Elton John song because he had a hair transplant.
Songs by Seasick Steve (I’m sure there ain’t much hair under that hat and he has a beard)(And I think he is soooooooo cool.)
Songs that mention Samson (the biblical one) Regina Spektor does a stunner.
Songs from the movie “Hairspray”.
Of course originals are welcome and encouraged.
If you believe your song has a “HAIR”(or lack of) connection then your song is fine. No need to ask just tell us what the connection is.

I’ll just pick the song that appeals to me most as the host’s fav.
Prize will be something hair related.

No song limit but no old vids please.

And I would find it personally hilarious if anyone did a cover of my friend Davina Yannetty's song "80s Hair".
 
There was a local music writer who always liked to think of the Midnight Oil song "Blue Sky Mine" as "Who's gonna shave me?"

Peter Garrett (Midnight Oil) actually became a Labor politician and government minister and Angry Anderson (Rose Tattoo) tried to become a Liberal politician (not sure if he won preselection, but he certainly didn't win a seat).
 
I'll be a big 'part' of this one!!!! Great theme! I think the goal should be to record a song from each bullet point and if you can achieve that, Pa will tell you good job!

What a great theme! So many possibilities! Haircut 100 songs, anyone?
 
Urho Kekkonen who was the president of Finland, and who had a head like a billiard ball was famous for saying
in reference to the fact that he had no hair, "No weeds grow on a busy road"

There is a genetic predisposition to male hair loss, that is if your mother's father had loss of hair
then her sons would be inclined to losing their hair hair as well. At least that is true in my case.
and conversely if the mother's father kept all of his hair then her sons would not lose their hair
either.

Is this just a urban legend or does it hold true?
 
"Rabbit of Seville" contains both hair and hare.

Fun theme, Brian!

I have rather noticeable hair. (You have probably noticed.) Might have to write something....
 
When I was young my hair was much like yours Wendy.
See the very old photo I added in post #1.

Blimey you like like Brian May........'erm Brian !!! Lol

My heads always been pretty much shaved short so it didn't make much difference to me except in a positive way by saving a few bob at the barbers.............its the hair in every other region of my body that seems to be a problem, it grows like wild fire as I'm getting older !! Lol

I've not participated on here for a good while but have a great idea for a parody/pastiche if allowed ?

we're all animals by Kimya Dawson

so i am looking at the clock and it says it's 06:25 AM USA time now, which means I can post my video, right? I'm surprised no one has done so...
hope I'm not too early! here is my first entry. I include the lyrics here:

We're all animals by Kimya Dawson

When you get older your body will grow hair
On your legs, your arm pits and even down there
Some people shave theirs off but I let mine grow
Because I'm an animal, because I'm an animal

Cats and dogs and bunnies and frogs
And donkeys and monkeys and possums and skunkies
And turtles and hippos and bears and horses
And people like you and me and tortoises

Sit out in the cold and I sing songs
That hair on my legs is like wearing long johns
I wish that there was hair on my hands and my arms
'Cause I can't wear gloves when I play guitar ( I changed to "my uke")
No, I can't wear gloves when I play guitar (my uke)

Cats and dogs and bunnies and frogs
And donkeys and monkeys and possums and skunkies
And turtles and hippos and bears and horses
And people like you and me and tortoises

When you get older your body will grow hair
On your legs, your arm pits and even down there
Some people shave theirs off but I let mine grow
Because I'm an animal and I like being natural

And I don't care about what's fashionable
Because I'm an animal
Because I'm an animal
Because I'm an animal



I try to look cool like how cool Pa looks with his eyeshades. Fun theme Brian!
