I'm looking to put together a list of songs about houses and homes. Frankly, I would like to find some songs to play during sales meetings, agent open houses and such that may evoke a reaction from real estate agents.

Now these have to be songs with homes or real estate as a main theme.

A great example would be Our House by Crosby, Stills, & Nash. I also like This Ole House by Stewart Hamblen or Two Story House by George Jones & Tammy Wynette.

The house may or may not be in the title. Don't Let the Rain Come Down by the Serendipity Singers comes to mind with its great line: "My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown."

While it is one of my favorite songs, House of the Rising Sun by The Animals would not qualify. Neither would the Animal House Theme or Brick House by The Commodores.

So help me out and tell me about your favorite "House" song.

Then there is the old CCR song, that I wish I could remember the neame of...

Just Got Home from Illinois,
Lockled the Front Door, oh boy

then something about sitting on my back porch -

I don't believe I can't do better than this.

OK, Niel Young for m the Neil Young Album singing about his home in Ontario. - something about 2 cats in the yard - that is a great one, but again my brain is in a fog

'Sweet "HOME" Alabama' - will always get a group alive

Not sure if this helps or not - but my brain is hurting

Now Have a Blessed Day,

Don't suppose you want "Little Boxes, on the Hillside," by Rolf Harris, the Australian? Doesn't help that the next line is "and they're all made out of ticky-tacky..... and they all look, just the same." Memories from childhood TV. Did you guys have 'The Rolf Harris Show' in this country, or was it just the UK?

I'm not sure who Rolf Harris is, but Little Houses is a wonderful suggestion. It was made popular here by Pete Seeger in 1962. I remember singing it in 3rd or 4th grade.

What about Come On A My House by Rosemary Clooney

or Pink Houses by John Mellencamp

or Take me Home, Country Roads by John Denver

or Homeward Bound by Simon and Garfunkle?
