johnny cash-(a boy named sue)

[veroalee15]

LOVE this song.

[goXsniffXsharpieX21]

I knew a boy named Jesse and a boy named Bailey. Bailey was born in Spain but grew up in Texas.

When I moved and found out that two kids named Bailey and Parker lived down the street from me, I assumed they were boys. Turned out both of them were girls....weird :)

[weeblerbob]

MY NAME IS SUE

HOW DO YOU DO?

NOW YOU GONNA DIIIEEE!!!!!

yeah, thats what I told him.

[AbsoluteMonarchist]

Do not click the thumbs up icon if you do not believe that Johnny Cash did not write this song. Do not click the thumbs down icon if you do not believe that Shel Silverstein did not write this song.

[TakahashiNanumi]

...I walked up to him and said, "My name is Sue! How do you do?! Now you're gonna die."

Best greeting for a long-lost father, ever.

[Scnifeown]

i wreatled a boy named sue.........i won:)

[branammichael]

funney song



[MrNikkoz]

Just learned Shel Silverstein wrote the lyrics to "Boy Named Sue", Silverstein was genius. Thanks for the amazing literature growing up.

[ResitivexRaptor]

i heard this song when i was five in my uncles' car...i liked it and couldn't ever find it...finally, after 12 years....finally.

[direelement]

at least his name wasnt betty

[DreamsCumTrue469]

@watchamuhcallit you sure it was a dude?

[MrPopeye776]

son of the boy named sue.. lol

[Horsemarine100]

I've heard this song a million times, but I still can't hear it without a grin. Had what was a funny enough name myself, in rural Scotland in the 1940s, so I empathize!

[JerkyNBeer]

Good ole Johnny Cash.

[poptart318]

Classic Cash!

[Elnino09uk]

Classic! Love johnny cash

[cowboy3boy]

[Ariakas7708]

@BigSteveJohnson My grandpa used to do that too! lol

[SnowWolf1118]

I love this song so much. I feel kind of like the dad in the song when I give my r.p. characters girly names. ^.^"

[milkky1988]

A boy named SUE was written by Shel SILVERSTEIN. Thumbs up if you get it :D

[123bkat]

[commenter198]

[LuxiorLove]

[rocker26a]

8 people did not pull their gun first.

[ilovespider100]

2 words for you johny, cash

[dontcallmepeanutt]

I don't think people know this is a Shel Silverstein poem..

[dkstewart1]

Love this song! My mom's name is James, so we have to laugh when we hear this.

[canyour123]

[Yankeeboy612]

[theflippinghooligan]

[Juggalo5921]

@AdriannBizzle  haters are going to always hate

[triplex62]

HOW DO YOU DO MY NAME IS SUE NOW YOU GONA DIE!

[dez10e]

8 people are now named Sue.

[TheNewRiflemanBob]

This is music right? Correct me if I'm mistaken.

[swampwater55]

@TheNewRiflemanBob yeah im pretty fuckin sure that this is music

[Xethcher]

@TheNewRiflemanBob  yeah its music. real music not this ghetto hip hop rap shit

[RDRManiac]

@Xethcher Come on, you are small-minded if you think this is the only kind of music that is good and "real". You have to respect other types of music because it is simply a different way for people to express themselves through music. Now I do believe that today's rap has lost it's feeling, but that doesn't mean it was always like that.

[Xethcher]

@RDRManiac true true. i said this was real music. i never said it wasnt the only real music. this is actually the only johnny cash music i actually have on my ipod

[sykokid86]

@Xethcher this is real music Johnny cash and Elvis were the ones who started rock and country and made it popular the reason most musician have careers today is because of them 

[MrLyricalmeaning]

@Xethcher Rap is amazing.... but like any type of music there is shitty artists! I respect all types and you dont, your just ignorant.

[Xethcher]

@MrLyricalmeaning that is correct because I have no respect for rap.I've tried listening to rap but couldn't,beacuse, save for a select few artists/songs, just about every rap song is about sex, money, power, and killing people. If you haven't noticed that YOUR'E the ignorant one.

[MrLyricalmeaning]

@Xethcher Thats were you are wrong my friend. That is only the main stream music industry which has power over whats being played! Main stream sucks!!! If you have time, check out Macklemore. he works with many kids and his message is good. yes he talks a little bit about fun but like any music. if you are into politics, check out Immortal Technique. there are many (thousands) of artist who do not get credit because of whats played on the radio.

[MrLyricalmeaning]

@MrLyricalmeaning Laguage is always an issue with folks like my dad. If you can look past a lot of that, you will find amazing talent. if rap is not your type of music, thats cool, but its noteworthy. I do agree that main stream is ruining our youth and value. I am not ignorant to that.

[Xethcher]

@MrLyricalmeaning not how i said select few which im sure camparitavely 1000 is a few.

[PilotingTheExile]

Upward pointing thumbs if you listen to this song on Father's Day.

[amazonking7]

love it!



[MrLaxinator]

I guess Chandler Bing loves this song.

[ChocolateMadness5000]

@MrLaxinator

i have two problems with your comment:

1) chandler is a popular boys name, and its not nearly as bad as sue,

2) chandler bing is a fictional character

[MrLaxinator]

@ChocolateMadness5000 I have only one problem with your comment. You are a perfectionistic idiot.

BTW I am not from english speaking country, so I can´t know how ofter are some names.

[NewFoundLife]

The story that this song tells is so funny and interesting.

I'm so glad I live in Nashville.

[darkcloud2K]

I think I'll name him...Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name! - I lol'd so hard there.

[theonlylukepritchard]

@hope11ification his birth name was'Marion Mitchell Morrison' wikipedia's a great tool :)

[TheFudgeluver101]

Pritty funny :P

[spo666tty]

Awesome song

[Sabrielswolfe1]

@hope11ification His name was Marion.

[pimpleface99]

im the son of a bitch that named you sue.

[MichaelLawlorRojas]

I love the way he talks through most of it, but sings some parts of it. It's so good! :D

[t0masi0]

i guess 4 people are deaf :S

[wwedbx]

one word....... epic

[maghgh]

My name is Liz and I'm a dude. Thank you Johnny you understand my pain.

[jamiedoer2]

@maghgh Actually, you should thank Shel Silverstein 

[MrBenson3436]

[blablabla983]

@maghgh haha xD why liz man xD

[HUGELoneW0LF]

[Pureroller]

@HUGELoneW0LF Stephen is normal..

[Sugardaddy86]

@maghgh lol Liz what a fag.

[demibaton24]

@Sugardaddy86 that was rude its not his fault his name is that

[Evanwalker0422]

@Sugardaddy86 You're an ass. Just because his parents named him Liz doesn't mean he's a fag. It means he's gone through more shit than you have.

[HondaATC110]

@Sugardaddy86 liz can more then likely kick the hell out of you.

[nickatina40]

@maghgh did u find and kill the son of a bitch that named you liz?

[Rogginroll]

@maghgh weeeeeeell Shel Silverstein is the writer of that song originally so you can thank him. But Johnny kicks ass.

[TheVasx]

@maghgh really?

or is it another - Dude looks like a lady ? :D

[fucksalt97]

@maghgh You do know Johnny Cash didn't write this song? It was written by poet and author Shel Silverstein.

[adamwedgwood]

epic song!

[razor1107]

I was made fun of as a kid because I had a girly name. I figured the best remedy for that. Become six feet tall and learn karate. Sure as hell worked for me :D

[Xarcas]

@razor1107 pro tip to accompany my thumbs up: hapkido

[cauliflowermonster]

[Woutah2dmaX]

I loved this song since I was 3. I had it on a cassette and played it all the time, even though I didn't know any English. I guess the sound of his voice and the humor in it was enough for me to become a Johnny Cash fan for life. R.I.P. Johnny.

[quarkahn]

[hendrixbikedog]

'cause I'm the sonofabitch that named you Sue

[englishb76]

i WOULD CUT OFF MY LEFT NUT TO SHAKE HIS HAND

[TheGreenMonkey33]

@throttlejockey77 Its actually written by Shel Siverstein. It was a poem but he just made it into a song. I am studing it in English

[TheGreenMonkey33]

@throttlejockey77 Its actually written by sum chick. It was a poem but he just mad eit into a song. I am studing it in English

[anchovysardine]

@TheGreenMonkey33 Hey you silly monkey, Shel was a guy, not some chick. The name Shel does sound girly like Shelly, so maybe that's why he wrote "A boy named Sue"

[lalalandmachineblaha]

2 people are named Sue (:

[bigbandman95]

@mammers11 Does it matter? It's Johnny Cash! :)

[Darkez982]

@mammers11

what beat?

[dummytree]

@mammers11 Totally :) It's fun to listen to his live recordings with headphones on and hear how the band tried to keep up with him. Sometimes it's pretty loose/sloppy :)
