hi!!!!! i saw your post about narrative songs!! care to drop some recommendations 💖💖💖

BOY HOWDY DO I

I'm generally gonna get more into artist recommendations than specific songs BUT here we go

Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce was the original song that I was listening to that inspired the post!!!

Hit and Run by LOLO is a banger

you WILL listen to Goodbye Earl by The Chicks!!!!

The Bullet by The Devil Makes Three my beloved

in general southern gothic (and classic country, and sea shanties) as a musical genre will very much be your friend for narrative music

a lot of people have recommend Lake Pontchartrain by Ludo and The Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists and a lot of people are Right

Okay first artist rather than specific song- The Mechanisms!!! They do entire narrative albums that are usually like "folklore" + "niche genre" + SPAAACCEEE all rolled into prog rock and it SLAPS

The Dear Hunter- they literally have a rock opera that spans FIVE ALBUMS!!!! it RULES

Lemon Demon (in a similar category are like. Jonathan Coulton Some Will Wood songs, They Might Be Giants, some Weird Al Songs,some Oingo Boingo songs, and some Talking Heads songs) for some songs about some Wacky Shit

For more generally comedic Narrative Songs I would recommend Jazz Emu, Tom Cardy, Rob Cantor, Tom Lehrer , Garfunkel and Oates,and Brian David Gilbert
