You Look So Good in Love

Special Sunday post alert! I rarely post anything on Sunday, but decided that you might need a sappy country love song today to cheer you up or depress you even further with Valentine's Day tomorrow! So, I decided that you can't go wrong with George Strait's third #1 hit and his first music video ever. The funny thing is even George admitted how horrible this video is and "lobbied to get that thing pulled off the air so no one would ever have to watch it again." Enjoy the cheesiness that is "You Look So Good in Love"...

How about a double shot of George on this Valentine's Day, because even though "You Look So Good in Love" is a great song, the video leaves something to desire. So, here's a better video that didn't require George to do too much of anything other than to stand there and sing and look purty. Here is another one of his many many #1 hits and a personal favorite of many - "The Chair"...

You didn't think there would be any country in this countdown did you? Well, bam! It's my favorite 80's country song and probably my favorite song by the artist known as George Harvey Strait. Though not a Strait original song, this is by far the most popular version of the song, but it didn't even make #1 on the country charts peaking somewhere around #4 back in 1983. Get out your chaps and your cowboy hat and start lookin' for eight when they pull that gate.

#36 "Amarillo by Morning"
by George Strait

I'll Be Looking For Eight When They Pull That Gate

Occasionally from time to time, I'll bust you off a country video just to keep you guessing... so today, The Excellent 80's goes country again with my all time favorite George Strait song... argue if you will about "The Chair" or "All My Ex's Live in Texas" or "Check Yes or No", but for my money give me this song that actually only reached #4 on the country charts back in 1982 - actually written and recorded in 1973 by Terry Stafford, many still consider this a George Strait song - here is "Amarillo By Morning"...
