The title of more than one Gene Autry oater came from a song used therein. Can you name any? (Let's say that we place the limit at two or three per Leaguer per day.)Lil Wrangler (1/30/03 4:06 pm)
How about?
"Back In The Saddle"
"Sioux City Sue"
"Twilight on the Rio Grande"
"South of the Border"
Lil Wrangler, can you hum a few bars of "Twilight on the Rio Grande" for me? Other Leaguers, there are still more Gene Autry title songs to go. Some are quite familiar melodies.The Lightning (1/31/03 3:35 pm)
DOWN MEXICO WAY
GIT ALONG LITTLE DOGGIES
I'm sure the Maestro is pleased as punch to see the list growin'. "Git Along, Little Dogies" may not have been Gene's best, but it sure had a lotta songs. Even the movie audience got involved when the lyrics of some musical standards appeared at the bottom of the screen so the audience could sing along. And there was a popular new ditty called "If You Want to Be a Cowboy".Curly (2/2/03 1:55 pm)
There are a lot more Gene Autry titles that came from songs in his movies. Can you name any more, Leaguers?KanSmiley (2/2/03 3:23 pm)
