“I’ve Got Tears in My Ears” In this quirky tune, Homer and Jethro lamented their woes with a touch of absurdity. Picture them lying on their backs, staring at the ceiling, tears streaming down their faces. Why, you ask? Because love had dealt them a cruel hand, and their hearts were in disarray. “And the tears in my ears are off the beaten track, Since you said, ‘It’s goodbye, we are through.’ So if I should get water on the brain, You will know you’re the one who is to blame.” Yes, dear listeners, these troubadours found solace in their peculiar predicament. Their tears flowed not just down their cheeks but all the way to their ears! And who was the cause of this melodramatic misery? None other than the one who bid them farewell. As the banjo twanged and the fiddle danced, Homer and Jethro spun their comical yarn. Their voices harmonized, and the world chuckled along. The song became a hit, and people couldn’t help but smile at the sheer absurdity of it all. Fast forward to 1963, and our duo revisited this tearful saga in their album titled “Ooh, That’s Corny.” Oh, how they milked those tears for all they were worth! But isn’t that the magic of music—to turn sorrow into laughter and heartache into a toe-tapping tune? And so, my friends, whenever life gets a bit too serious, remember Homer and Jethro. Let their tears in their ears remind you that sometimes, even heartache can be downright hilarious.
