OAK RIDGE BOYS TOP AOL MUSIC’S “TOP 10 CATCHY SONGS IN COUNTRY”
Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr., and George Jones among others in the Top 10
Nashville, TN – In the July 9th feature on AOL Music’s “The Boot” http://www.theboot.com/2010/07/09/catchy-songs/, The Oak Ridge Boys take home the honor of having the catchiest song in country music. The Catch: "Elvira, Elvira/My Heart's on fire, Elvira/Giddy up, oom-poppa-oom-poppa-mow-mow".
“When I opened up my AOL account, one of the headline stories for the day was about the 10 catchiest songs in country music history, I followed the link and started to read the top 10. I started at 10 and wondered what would be next as I scrolled down the page. I was thinking that we would not have a song on there, then at #1 was our huge hit Elvira. You could hear me screaming all the way from Oklahoma. Thanks to Dallas Frazier for writing such a song that bought us all a new house, and a new car,” says Oaks lead singer Duane Allen.
The Top 10 Catchy Songs in Country: (according to AOL “The Boot”)
1. Elvira / The Oak Ridge Boys
2. The Gambler / Kenny Rogers
3. You Belong With Me / Taylor Swift
4. Family Tradition / Hank Williams Jr.
5. Achy Breaky Heart / Billy Ray Cyrus
6. It’s Finally Friday / George Jones
7. Man! I Feel Like A Woman / Shania Twain
8. Dang Me / Roger Miller
9. How Do You Like Me Know? / Toby Keith
10. Undo It / Carrie Underwood

I applaud that; and through this DVD I believe countless listeners will enjoy seeing four hearts that truly beat for music with a message."
Oak Ridge Boy, Joe Bonsall, also comments, "This is the most exciting time I've ever experienced with the Oak Ridge Boys. I can remember sitting and watching Gaither Homecoming videos on television and being so blessed. Then on my 50th birthday, we were invited to sit in the audience for the Cathedrals Farewell Celebration and I couldn't believe it ... and when we were called to the stage to sing, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Now, more than 10 years after that video was released, we consider Bill and Gloria and many of our other heroes to be friends. Being in their studio, standing in the places where so many legends have stood, to create a video documenting our gospel journey was definitely a full-circle moment for the Oak Ridge Boys."
The Oak Ridge Boys: A Gospel Journey is distributed by EMI and is available in stores everywhere.
