Sing a Song of Sixguns

Okay, here’s a brief list of the best songs involving guns, things that sound like guns or discuss the use of guns, but are not sung by Ted Nugent because that would be cheating (and it would displace all of these):

1. Lawyers, Guns and Money – Warren Zevon
2. Big Gun – AC/DC
3. The Trooper – Iron Maiden
4. Folsom Prison Blues – Johnny Cash
5. Whiskey in the Jar – Thin Lizzy (Traditional)
6. Jailbreak – AC/DC
7. Love Gun – KISS
8. Tommy Gun – The Clash
9. Happiness is a Warm Gun – The Beatles
10. Janie’s Got a Gun – Aerosmith

You will notice that there is only one country song and no rap. I have nothing against either genre, though I don’t particularly like rap, but the list is too short to include just about every Cypress Hill or Ice Cube track. Again, this list is not comprehensive, so please feel free to post your favorites, and no Nuge because it’s way too easy, though here are some great Nuge songs about guns, etc.:

1. Kiss My A$$
2. Great White Buffalo
3. I Am the NRA
4. I Just Wanna Go Hunting
5. Dog Eat Dog
6. Fred Bear*
7. Stormtroopin’

*not about guns, but definitely about hunting

There are plenty more where these came from.

Post some you like or take issue with my selections in the comments.

UPDATE: Thanks to Steve at The Firearm Blog for the plug. Now let me know what you all think!
