OK, here's this week's game! Song titles and artists are listed below the audio links.

MKCA1 The Hint: This song is about a cowboy's struggle between the love of the rodeo life
and the love of a woman. He repeatedly promises her that he will quit riding, but
repeatedly breaks these promises because "these animals" kept dragging him away.

MKCA2 The Hint: This song is dedicated to George Jones and talks of how "this week's artist" only
wants to lie low and play "this animal". (referring to George Jones.)

MKCA3 The Hint: This is an American folk song that first gained popularity in the early 19th century.
The first part of the song is a contrafactum of the ballad "My Grandmother Lived on
Yonder Little Green", published in 1857, which itself is a contrafactum of the Irish
ballad "The Old Rose Tree" which was published by at least 1795 in Great Britain.
It was a popular tune for fiddle players as early as 1820.

MKCA4 The Hint: This song is a teenage tragedy song written by Jiles Perry Richardson (a.k.a. The Big
Bopper) and sung most famously by this week's artist in 1959. The 1959 recording featured
background vocals by The Big Bopper himself, and . . . George Jones! It was No. 1 for
three weeks in January 1960 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
It was bumped out of the No. 1 spot by Marty Robbins' "El Paso", another song in which
the protagonist dies.

MKCA5 The Hint:: This is a popular song first recorded by this week's HUGE Country & Rock-A-Billy/
Rock-n-Roll Star in 1957 for the soundtrack of his second motion picture, during which he
performs the song on screen. That's all the hint you get! HA!

MKCA6 The Hint:: This smash hit is a song recorded by two popular recording super stars, as a duet! It was
written for one of these two artists for his seventh studio album. The song was released as
the album's fourth and final single on April 7, 2003. This week's song reached #22 on the
Billboard Hot 100, making it this artist's highest charting song of his career at the time.
The song also peaked at #1 for six weeks in the US Billboard Hot Country Songs (one of two
songs to stay that long at #1 for him). It became his 11th #1 hit and the other artist's 23rd!

MKCA7 The Hint:: This song was recorded by two brothers. It was released in 1958 and was a #1 hit on the
Billboard Country Chart for 6 weeks! The song also hit number two on the U.S. Billboard
Hot 100 as well as peaking at number two for three weeks on the R&B charts.
