Reba McEntyre - Why Haven't I Heard From You

On this day in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell is granted U.S. patent #174,465, for the Telephone. Breaking up was never the same, which leads to today's Saturday Redneck.

Reba McEntyre is likely known to most readers, since she's sold a hundred million gazillion albums - she's had twenty albums certified as Platinum. Plus she's had a TV show, been in movies, and has such a high profile that if you say "Reba", pretty much everyone thinks of her.

Her 1994 album Read My Mind contained the song Why Haven't I Heard From You, which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Country Charts. This really captures the a scene from the battle of the sexes in a humorous way.

Why Haven't I Heard From You (songwriters: Knox, T.W. Hale)

Back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's they were in everybody's home
As a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you

Well there's no problem gettin' to me
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forwarding and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man he told me that my phone is working fine
And I've come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you thru
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you

There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And a thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you
