Songs about long hair

[sonic_goose]

First and foremost, “Hair” from the musical Hair/The Cowsills. That to me is that ultimate long-hair theme song. What else?

[Elodea]

Off the top of my head (some of these are only tangentially hair-related, and not necessarily specifically about long hair)

- She's A Rainbow: "She comes in colors everywhere/She combs her hair/She's like a rainbow"
- She Don't Use Jelly: "I know a girl who reminds me of Cher/She's always changing/The color of her hair/She don't use nothing/That ya buy at the store/She likes her hair to be real orange/She uses tangerines"
- Konstantine: "My Konstantine came walking down the stairs/And all that I could do is touch her long blonde hair"
- Screaming Infidelities: "Your hair, it's everywhere/Screaming infidelities/And taking its wear"

[Kalamazoo]

"Wildwood Flower"

I'll twine 'mid the ringlets
Of my raven black hair,
The lilies so pale
And the roses so fair,
The myrtle so bright
With an emerald hue,
And the pale aronatus
With eyes of bright blue.

Gunhill Road "Back When My Hair Was Short".

Slowly I changed my ways
College and long-haired days
Seeing three concerts a week
An honest-to-God hippy freak
Too busy eating to speak

Except about love (Love)
We held rallies for love
But no one knew what they stood for
How many months were they good for?
The meaning is gone

"Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton

It's late in the evening
She wonders what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
"do I look alright?"
And I say "yes, you look wonderful tonight"

Signs by Five Man Electrical band

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh

[Ylva]

Came to think of this in the random hair thoughts thread.

When you dye/bleach your hair...

Scott McKenzie "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)".

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

That don’t sound like you - Lee Brice

Your pretty brown hair, you always loved it
Guess he didn't like it so you just cut it
And that don't sound like you
Nah, that ain't the girl I knew

Sorry...every time I see this thread come up, this song pops into my head. I don’t see why I should suffer alone.

Sam Hunt - Body Like A Back Road

Got a girl from the south side, got braids in her hair
First time I seen her walk by, man I 'bout fell up out my chair
Had to get her number, it took me like six weeks
Now me and her go way back like Cadillac seats


Loreena McKennit - The Highwayman

And over cobbles he clattered
And clashed in the dark inn-yard
And he tapped with his whip on the shutters
But all was locked and barred
He whistled a tune to the window
And who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter
Bess, the landlord's daughter
Plaiting a dark red love knot
Into her long black hair

[sonic_goose]

Almost forgot “Almost Cut My Hair” by CSNY!

[HaMalka]

Heard this on the radio earlier:

All to Myself - Dan and Shay

I want you all to myself
We don't need anyone else
Let our bodies do the talking
Let our shadows paint the wall
I want you here in my arms
We'll hide away in the dark
Slip your hand in my back pocket
Go and let your long hair fall
I want you all to myself
To myself
